I’m back with another BeYu instalment! And this time it’s all about contouring!
Let me start by telling you about the
palette first. The BeYu Strobe & Define Palette is made up of 4 shades: a
dark matte cool brown for contouring, a fresh yet delicate rosy blush, a matte
highlighting powder and a pearlescent highlighting powder. Inside the palette there’s also a guide on how to use
the shades which makes it easy to achieve the best contouring results possible.
Now let’s move onto the how to of this post!
First,
start by mapping out the hollows of your cheekbones. Then you want to apply the
product on the temples of your forehead, the side of the jaw and down the sides
of the nose (circled in white).
Once
you’re done blending out your contour, highlight with the Strobe Matt any areas
of your face you want to brighten; underneath the eyes in a V shape, on the
bridge of the nose, in the middle of your forehead, on the chin and underneath the contour
of the cheekbones to sharpen them out (circled in beige).
Next
is the blush shade which is to be used on the apples of your cheeks and this
gives you a more flushed and healthy look whilst giving the face a more
blended finish (circled in pink).
Lastly, use the Strobe Pearl on the high
points of your face: on top of the cheekbones, a little bit on the tip of the
nose and on the Cupid’s bow (circled in brown).
The
secret to defined yet natural looking contouring is to blend, blend, blend.
Blending is key when it comes to contouring like a pro because you want a
natural looking defined face not end up with a harsh line.
Final
thoughts on this palette:
I
absolutely love it! The shades are gorgeous; they are the equal amount of
pigmented and easy to blend which makes them a dream to work with. The contour
shade is the perfect shade as it is not orangey at all. The highlighters seep
into the skin beautifully; the matte one gives your face the nice awakened look
while the pearl one, although it’s not super shimmery, gives a nice healthy
glow to the face. Lastly, the blush is the perfect shade as it matches every
look and gives you that flushed look and a soft freshness.
Have
you ever tried contouring before? If not and you’re going to try it out, I hope
you found this post helpful!
