Re: Makeup Help - How do you contour a face?
as far as i remember there are many different ways to achieve the look.
you can use different shades of foundation (i believe this is the method used by salons in pak when doing brides) or different shades of powder. the latter is the method i've seen employed in the west more casually. they don't contour brides usually as their brides are not so made-up; it's mainly in tv and print and the professionals use palettes of both foundations and powders.
MAC MSF Naturals (they are matte-ish) are quite popular for normal folk to achieve natural contouring. It's a combination of darker powders in some areas (sides of nose, hollows of cheeks) and highlighting in others.
I will try and find you some good tut's when I have a bit more time :)
