Step By Step Guide To Contour Face Using Lipstick

Lipstick is an essential part of our cosmetic collection. In fact, our makeup is incomplete without it. But did you know that you can use lipstick as a replacement for other beauty products?

Yes! You heard it right ladies. A lipstick does not necessarily be used on lips. You can use it to replace blush, eye shadow and even contour. Let’s see if women can create a perfect contour on the face with lipstick!

Use A Brown Shade

If you like neutral makeup tones, you definitely would own a pair of brown lipsticks. Since most women buy the lipstick shade that would complement their skin tone. There is a higher possibility that you would have the right brown colour to create perfect contouring lines.

Contouring can be done using a single shade of brown. However, if you own dark and light shades, you can create a defined contour with minimal effort. It will help highlight your features to perfection.

Use A Lipstick With Cream Texture

The texture of the lipstick is crucial to consider. If the lipstick has a creamy texture like more of your beauty products, the contouring lines will blend effortlessly. It will also not appear patchy.

However, if you would use glossy or matte lipstick, you might not get the definition you are looking for. These textures might not blend with the rest of your makeup. Hence, before you have to contour your face, you must take the texture of the lipstick into consideration.

Find The Contouring Points Or Section On Your Face

To achieve a perfect contour, you must be aware of the sections of your face that you need to apply the product. If you do not choose the right spot, you might not achieve the desired look. Forehead, cheeks and jawlines are the sections where you apply the contour.

Women looking for extra definition can draw the lines using lipstick. If you are looking to achieve a natural look, you can simply put little dots along the contouring sections.

Use A Damp Sponge

If you are using lipstick to contour your face, use a damp beauty blender. Women often make the mistake of using a dry sponge, and it will not work. Instead, it will create a mess.

If you use a damp sponge to blend the lines and dots, it will work efficiently to create a perfect contour. You will achieve the perfect shadow look and will not miss on forgetting to bring the contour.
