I've seen and heard things about it but I have no clue how and am quite curious.

I don't contour so I can't give you specifics. But, you can use a powder 2-3 darker shades than your skin. Everyone shouldn't contour the same, because we all have different face shapes & facial features. Meaning, there might be features you'd like to highlight while others may not.

Definitely ask ms. Jacqueline in here! She has the most professional way to explain it.

Contouring is for more of a dramatic purpose to define structure to the face and the ladies gave good examples and information it does depend on face shape but it can also be as simple as just applying blush to give a little perk to your cheek and define the face.I know my friend Jackie can break it down to detail with the explanation of contouring and highlight which I'm more short with it lol I pretty much just give the jif of it,but we both agree that its a technique that needs to be applied well and only when need be and most of the time its not needed and you can easily perform a subtle change with blush on its own or with the illusion of blush meets highlight.You also must have the correct products to help with shadowing the structure, you could use a shade or two darker of foundation or cake stick but you need to be aware of the color and out come of the finish.Go out side after applying and take a pic if you can see it then you must blend it more their should be minimal notable application lines and actually should be in a nice transition with the blush.Also make sure you don't apply it so low that it drags your cheeks down which we see so many make that mistake the key is to mimic shadowing and lift the cheeks not drag the face down and frown the face.

It depends on your face shape to reach the desire complimentary effect. Ideally, an oval face shape is deemed as the "perfect" shape. The contours and highlights are achieved close to sculpting that shape. Of course, contouring has to be as natural as possible. Contouring only give an illusion of a more sculpted face with no hard lines. Simple practice is, where the bony areas are like the brow bones, nose bridge and cheek bones are usually the highlight areas (with the exception of jaw lines, unless you want to "widen" it!) Where the fleshy parts are such as eye lids, cheeks are where you should contour. Hope this helps.
