Contour Like A Pro

Smashbox's Contouring kit makes it easier to add great definition to your face. It has three shades to highlight, contour and bronze it also includes an angled brush. I think this is a great kit to start off with if your just beginning to try contouring. Shown above is an image from the late and great makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin's book "Making Faces."

Get Glowing

Gorgeous glowing skin is the best accessory any woman can have. Laura Mercier's Radiance primer is a great base to start off your makeup with and will illuminate your whole face. Laura also makes an illuminating tinted moisturizer which I love, but I wouldn't use it with the Radiance primer because it may be a little too much glow. MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle is also a really pretty highlight. Lastly Smashbox's Artificial Light; you can apply it with your fingers, brush or sponge on your cheekbones, inner corners of your eyes, bridge of your nose or even mix it with your foundation! P.S. I also hear great things about RMS Living Luminizer, haven't tried it but I hope to soon!
