How to Highlight & Contour

Master the art of highlighting & contouring with our exclusive behind-the-scenes tips and tricks.

Step 1: PREP THE SKIN

  • Start with a clean face.
  • For medium moisture, use a few drops of our soothing Base Primer.
  • For maximum moisture, mix a few drops of the Base Primer with the silicone based S/B Mixing Medium at a ratio of 50/50.
  • Start with basic S/B Foundation to even the skin tone and get desired level of coverage.

Step 2: CONTOURING

  • Simply add a shade or two darker of S/B Foundation than your natural skin tone into your airbrush.
  • To contour the hollow of your cheeks, start from the back of the cheek by the ear and work your way forward.
  • To contour the jawline, start working by the ear first and then moving down toward the chin.

    Pro Tip:

    Use the contour shade sparingly; it’s easier to add more than to minimize.

Step 3: HIGHLIGHTING

  • Pour 3-4 drops of (desired) S/B Highlighter and spray a light touch starting from the inner eye and working outward until desired lightness is achieved.

    Pro Tip:

    Be sure that it gradually blends in with the skin tone and fades out by de-positioning a bit of the color onto the cheek bones. To avoid “raccoon eye,” you must blend thoroughly.

  • Pour 3-4 drops of (desired) S/B Highlighter and spray a light touch starting from the inner eye and working outward until desired lightness is achieved.

    Pro Tip:

    Add a drop of highlighter on the inner corner of eyes to brighten up the face.
