Hi @AdriannaD
SportyGirl already gave some good advise - highlighting & counturing works great together.
What I would like to add is that you should try to work with your face shape - I think that is an aspect which is important for contouring & highlighting as well. Not every placement of contour has the same effect on different face shapes. You can look up images that help you online or if you have Pinterest that is even easier.
Just an example here, but there are a lot of helpful images which hopefully can help you.
Things might not turn out perfect from the start but you will learn what works best for you & makes you look best with a bit practice. š
@AdriannaD @Choose a cream or powder 2-3 shades darker than your foundation. Here is a picture of a general guideline. Apply your contour in the shape of a 3, starting from your forehead, coming in just under your cheekbones and going down towards your chin. These are the places your face would naturally be shadowed from the sun. Here's where you want to apply the dark foundation: Right below your hairline at the top of your forehead.
Contouring is the strategic application of a makeup product that's a shade darker than your natural skin tone. Such application techniques create shadows and draw areas of your facial structure back. ... A highlighter is a shade lighter than your natural skin tone and is used to bring certain features forward.
