Apply Your Contour
You’ll need to pick where to apply your form in light of the highlights you’re hoping to shape and improve, as well as the state of your face.

I’m utilizing Chanel Beauty’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream ($50) as my shape since I love an etched look that gives a sound sparkle, and my skin is very fair (so this is the ideal shade for me). For those with more profound appearances, look at Anastasia Beverley Hills’ Cream Bronzer ($35) or Fenty Beauty’s Match Stix ($28).

Take as much time as necessary with shaping when you’re simply beginning: There is no rush, and the more comfortable you are with your own highlights, the better it will end up.
