Brides Today Picks: Our Favourite Contouring Videos On Youtube

Contouring has been all the rage in beauty trends for a while, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Huda Kattan and Jennifer Lopez seen flaunting cleverly sculpted faces. This Hollywood-approved technique uses the illusion of light and shadows to sculpt your face. Contouring adds shadow to areas of the face with makeup darker than your natural complexion like the cheekbones, along the jawline and sometimes on the forehead and the nose. Highlighting is typically done with a light-reflecting product on the bridge of the nose, tops of the cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes and the cupid's bow.

While the red carpet look is made for bright flashlights, bridal contouring needs to be a little more understated. A good makeup artist will be able to assess your face and sculpt it for you, and still keep it looking natural.
