Highlighting and Contouring

When your face lacks definition, shape and strong jaw and cheek bones, there’s a little technique that you can introduce into your men’s cosmetics routine called highlighting and contouring. In essence, this male makeup trick creates a more chiseled illusion across your face, by using cream or powder products to highlight certain areas of your face and darken others. Successful contouring can give you a really nice stand out look and whilst it usually takes guys a little longer to master than our female counterparts, there are plenty of videos out there from the likes of Jake Jamie Ward, who show you just how to work it like a pro. For quick and effective contouring, we recommend the use of a men’s contouring palette, which can be found below in a small selection of formulas and sizes. Look cut and sharp with this growingly popular makeup for men technique.
