Contouring at Lipstick The Art of Contouring: A Beginner’s Guide* Contouring has become a buzzword in the beauty world, and for good reason.

This makeup technique, when done right, can enhance your natural features, giving your face a sculpted and defined look. Whether you’re aiming for chiseled cheekbones, a slimmer nose, or a more pronounced jawline, contouring can help you achieve that.

But before you dive in, let’s break it down into simple steps to make it easy to understand.

Understanding Contouring

First and foremost, you need to know what contouring is. Essentially, contouring is all about creating shadows and highlights on your face.

The shadows, created with a darker shade of makeup, will help recede areas you want to minimize. Meanwhile, the highlights, made with a lighter shade, will bring forward the features you want to emphasize.

Therefore, the contrast between light and dark creates the illusion of depth and dimension.

Now, let’s move on to the tools you’ll need. To begin with, you’ll need a contour product.

This could be a powder, cream, or stick, depending on your skin type and preference. In addition to this, you’ll need a highlighter and a good set of brushes.

The Brushes

A contour brush with an angled edge works best for applying the darker shade, while a blending brush is perfect for softening any harsh lines.

Once you have your tools, it’s time to get started. Start by applying the contour product in the hollows of your cheeks, along your hairline, and on the sides of your nose.

Additionally, apply it under your jawline for a more defined look. Afterward, blend it out using circular motions to avoid any harsh lines.

Next, apply the highlighter on the high points of your face – think the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your brow bone.
Finally, blending is key. Keep blending until the makeup seamlessly integrates with your skin.
The goal is to create a natural, sculpted look, not harsh lines. In conclusion, practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for your face shape.
With time, you’ll master the art of contouring!

Successful Self Makeup Application Course

The last couple of days were really fun and successful. A student enrolled for the self makeup application course for 2 days and we had an amazing time with her. 

At first, she didn’t know much about makeup and brought her own makeup. From there, we assessed her things and checked if they were the right products for her to become successful. Thankfully, she had a few brushes that were fine, and powder, bronzers, blush and lipsticks that were right for her complexion. Apart from that, the only items that were incorrect were her foundation and eyeshadows.

At first, I taught her a few theoretical aspects of makeup before we headed onto creating makeup looks. 

On the first day, we did practice work for Day Makeup. I taught her how to put her makeup on, which brushes to use, how to shape her eyebrows and lips.

On the second and last day of the Self Application Makeup Course, we did a review of the Day Makeup Look and Transitioned it to Evening Makeup and Party Makeup. She was able to do her own makeup with some guidance.

Learning how to put your own makeup is very important especially because appearance in the workplace is essential. When looking for a job, the first thing an employer looks at is someones photograph. In a job interview, a person’s appearance is something someone checks out. 

When working in the service business, it’s important to have your makeup done impeccably so that your clients will feel at ease when you talk to them. 

Here, at the Lipstick Makeup Institute, we’ll help you land your dream job by helping you in guiding you with your makeup — be it for your workplace, or for a date night. We’re here for you.

Last Day of Classes

Last Makeup class

Last day is always the hardest yet fulfilling day of the courses. The students were tasked to do an Instagram Glamour inspired Makeup with a twist.  As their last photoshoot, they did their best to create their final look as impeccable as possible.

Choosing an inspiration online for their last look was a daunting task but they were able to pull it off. Checking popular ‘makeup gurus’ online made them feel confident about doing their task.

How to mix and choose colours and create shapes are the first thing that our students learn in The International Platinum Media Makeup Course. In this final piece, they’re applying everything they’ve learned from choosing a foundation colour, checking the skin type, and choosing colours that would suit their model’s eye colour. They also had to apply contouring and highlighting according to their model’s facial shape.

Things that they’ve been struggling with in the first weeks they were able to achieve on their final week of photoshoots. As earlier during the week they did other shoots like the No Makeup Makeup Look and Makeup for Mature Ladies. They also did Evening looks, Glamour, and Arabic makeup. Special FX, Creative Makeup, High Fashion, and Creative Instagram Glamour Makeup were last. All of which they had to conceptualise by themselves prior to the shoots.
