Primer is used as a foundation for your foundation: it evens out your skin surface, minimizes pores, and makes the holding strength and duration of makeup even longer. A sculpted beauty look begins with the right primer for one’s skin type. For oily skin, you need a primer that would be able to deal with it by making the finish mattifying. For dry skin, you should look for the hydrating formula.

Foundation: Select the formula that will provide you with complete coverage

The underpinning is a canvas for you to paint your sculpted look upon. To create the illusion of a flawless finish, opt for a full-coverage foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly. A medium-coverage formula can achieve a more natural look, but for the truer sculpted look, you’re going to want to go full coverage. Don’t forget to blend your foundation on with a sponge or brush for a smooth, airbrushed effect.

Concealer: Smoothens Imperfections, Defines Contour

For an definition, apply concealer that matches one or two shades lighter than your foundation in under eyes, the bridge of nose, center of your forehead, It gives dimensions to your face and brightens it up. You set it with translucent powder for it not to crease out.

Contouring and Highlighting Basics

Bronzer: Chiseling and Contouring

A bronzer will help create a chiseled face with depth and warmth. It instantly adds width to hollows of your cheeks, the temples, and along the jawline. Bronzer helps create the illusion of sharper, defined features on your face. Opt for a matte bronzer that’s a few shades deeper than your natural skin tone for the most natural contour.

Blush: That Rosey Glow

A blush, applied at the apex of hollowed cheeks, gives you that subtle, natural flush of color on your cheeks. For a flushed cheek, you can choose either a cream or powder blush.

Add a pop of color to the cheek with blush as a contrast to balance out the warmth of the bronzer. Blush isn’t just about giving you that healthy glow; it can also relax the definition of your face. For that fair complexion, peach and coral shades work well. For medium tones, rose, and mauve shades, and rich berry on darker skin. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards for a lift.

Highlighter is the finishing touch that gives a glow and dewiness to your sculpted face. Apply highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow. For a minimum glow, pick a satin-finish highlighter. To achieve an extraordinary effect, select a high-shine, shimmery formula. This is where you add depth to your skin, making it radiant.

Balance Bronzer, Blush and Highlighter

For sculpting that face, your best bet would be balance. Try to blend bronze, blush, and highlights into each other without saying it’s a line. Aim for all to look well blended so that you don’t end up looking too done up at the end. I always begin with a light touch and intensify the colors gradually.
