So I've never really tried to contour and really didn't feel the need to but I thought I'd give it a go just for the fun of it. I will admit I saw a difference in the structure of my face however I'm just not a fan of the brown portion on my face if that makes sense lol.. I persoonally think I did alright for my first time, coukd use a tad more blending but I doubt I'll be doing this again lol. I didnt bring it so far in towards the mouth, I personally liked hoe it gave the illusion of a higher cheekbone without looking so..sucked in... I feel doong this also gave more life to my face lol.

Anyways, criticism would be appreciated, tips, tricks? Looking for the good, bad, and ugly opinions - lay it on me.

PS I used a cool toned brown eyeshadow for this, literally..lol.

on my face I have maybelline fit me, physicians formula eyeliner, maybelline better than falsies, and Colourpop "chi" ultra matte and a LA Colors lipgloss

I think it's blended really nicely but I feel moving it a bit further up on your cheek might be more flattering?

I tend to line mine up with the top of my ear (where it connects to my face) and blend slightly upwards

I think you did very good! the color is cool tones and mimics a shadow. it's blended well so you don't see a line of contrast. and the placement seems appropriate as well. I can't tell for sure from the pictures but it looks like you got it in the hollow of the cheek right under the bone where it should be and it doesn't come past the outer corner of your eyes which is good because it keeps it looking like a cheek hollow and not a cheek stain. I always cringe when anyone but a drag queen says to bring the contour down to your lips. even the insert with the kvd shade and light palette had those directions.
if you do decide to contour again for a special occasion, you have a good grasp of how to do it at least =)

I think it looks great! You remind me of a combination of the Kardashian sisters a little bit Kim Kylie and Kendall, But more naturally gorgeous!

Damn girl that looks bomb! Amazing for your first try! Rebecca may be right about it looking even better a bit higher up but it looks great as is. May be worth a try though:)

This looks great, but to make your contour nicer, get a warm toned bronzer a lightly apply it like blush ❤️

Thanks ladies. Next time I'll try it higher up. It was kind of cool seeing the effect it gave.

Kayley, thanks for the tip but bronzing and contouring are two different things and I don't like I'd prefer a warmer color in the hallows of my cheek. :P

Logan, thank you. haha. I hear that often, that I resemble the kardashians/jenners, I don't see it lol, but thank you!
