Secret behind a woman’s GLOW


So, what’s the secret?

Anything could be the secret to a woman’s glow. i.e Crème de lamer, jewellery, clothing, bags, hair and shoes

But i say, contouring and highlight of the face


These two can’t be separated, as they work hand in hand. Separating them is like foundation without powder.

Contouring and highlighting is an artistic way of creating an illusion of a glowing/flattering skin to the face, however contouring can be used to boost the bones in your face.

Depending on how the face has been contoured or highlighted, different looks can be achieved. Example

Edgy 











Soft appearance


Goldie















How to contour and highlight

Notice: The dark shaded areas are for the contour powder and the lighter areas are for bronzers, shimmers or highlighter.

Application on the cheek bone (only)

  • ·         After a face full of makeup, simply use a contour or blush brush(or fingers) to apply the contour powder, sweep from under your cheekbone toward your ears (that will tone up your face, creating a shadow, making your cheeks look slimmer)
  • ·         Then apply the highlighter to the apple of your cheeks and under the contoured cheek bone.


To apply everywhere else on the face, refer to the diagram above
