Two shades of definition





Im not the first person to admit that I have a round face, although I have pretty average facial structure, my skin can be quite dull and lackluster without a little bit of definition.

I find the most natural way to give me definition without contour and bronzing powder is by using two foundation colours, one slightly lighter than my skin, and one that matches my neck, to contour and give my face shape and definition without the extra bronzer.

My foundations of choice at the RCMA foundations in gena beige for the darker shade, and ivory for the slightly lighter shade.

By putting the lighter shade in areas you want to highlight, such as under the eyes, in the middle of the forehead, on my cupids bow, chin and on my brow bone, you give the centre of your face some light and highlight the part of the face that gets the most attention to those around you.

Then following up by putting the darker shade around the nose, outside of the face, on any scars or blemishes and underneath where your cheekbone ends down to your jawline. By doing this you are slimming the outside of your face, accentuating your cheekbones and hiding any imperfections.

The final step in this process is to take the time to blend the foundations out, making sure to get rid of any harsh lines but also allowing the colours to still accentuate the parts of the face that you want them too, i recommend blending the lighter shades in first and then moving out to the darker shades. And your base is complete! Your face is now more defined, showing off all your highpoints and hopefully slimming any areas that may not be
as flattering.


I hope you all had a safe and happy easter.
