Do what works best for you!
You don’t have to contour every spot on the usual makeup map. Choose the placements that give you the effect YOU like—and feel easy to do.
For so long, I tried to contour my cheeks, and it just always looked muddy to me. Then I tried this method and never looked back. It also depends on your face shape and your preference.
Here, I’m adding soft shadow around my forehead, defining my jawline, and blending a little contour onto my neck and below my chin to soften the appearance of sagging.
For my cheeks? I’m using a tiny bit of my Seint brightening shade for a lifted look. This color also doubles as my concealer. So you could use whatever concealer you . Tap to blend, then gently diffuse the edges.
At 65, I’m choosing what works for my face. You get to do the same.
