I'm in winter guard and I have a competition next Saturday. I need to be able to contour, highlight and do a smokey eye for our makeup along with doing a deep red lipstick. The only thing I'm able to do is lipstick. What's the easiest way to contour/highlight and more specifically how do I do that?? Anything will help. Thanks lovelies :))

What Rhiannon has pictured is more of a gradient eye rather than a smokey eye. A smokey eye should be darkest on the lid and fades as it goes upwards.

I agree with Hailey that contouring and highlighting placement will be different depending on your face shape. In general you can contour your cheekbones, temples/forehead, the sides of the nose, and the jawline and for highlight you would hit the tops of the cheekbones, down the center of the nose, and the Cupid's bow

Follow Rhiannon's photo for where to contour :) and just add a bit of colour at a time and slowly build it up! Same goes with a smokey eye, jus spelt build it up to darker colours on the lid and blend heaps. Don't choose a colour that is too orangey either. I will send a photo of a YouTube tutorial on smokey eyes by Jaclyn Hill
