Intro:  Beauty isn't always about perfection; its about identifying and appreciating your best features. In the world of makeup, this translates to one rule- your most attractive facial characteristics and trying to hide the flaws. Everyone has flaws but we can't help it, we are only human. As with any makeup process, contouring involved its own set of techniques, do's and dont's. What is contouring?

Go with a sliht darker, richer makeup palette in the winter months, when you can carry these colors off with elegance.
