A minefield of the make-up world, contouring is something that can go badly wrong. This video is an introduction to the basic principles of shading and contouring the face with powder. Good contouring can make a wide face appear narrower and cheekbones appear more prominent. It can also help to define the jawline and lift the eyes. All this needs to be done with a light touch using the right product and shade, especially for a daytime look. Once you have mastered the very basic techniques shown here you can build up your skills and really make the most of your bone structure and the shape of your face.

The absolute best contour video on YouTube!!!
Amazing as always Lisa
Maybe this is weird but I love the sound of your voice
Beautiful! Thanks!
watching this in 2017 and still,it is THE BEST. Like a good book or a good movie. Lisa is phenomenal.
You are absolutely stunning such a natural beauty xxx
Ella es francesa amo su acento!!!
Ciao, very nice vid. Stop on my profile too 🙂
hello lisa, i love your hair in this video, did you change something?
The two "snickers bars" hahaha
Many Compliments for makeup professional tutorial. Thanks a lot
lol two snickers bars
This video is awesome! Most makeup artists on here put at least 3-4 layers of thick, liquid foundation and highlighters all over their face…which is fine for let's say…a photo shoot…but for not for everyday makeup. 🙂 I like her tutorials a lot 😀
If you're over 40 can contouring help?
2 snickers bars? Hahahaha made me laugh
I love your videos! Each one is so easy to follow and simple in a great way. Thank you!
i wish i had seen this video before, i learned contouring from other youtubr gurus and did contouring just like them and always would end up with two patches… i am just realising now how horriblr that used to look 🙁
Know what I love about this contour tutorial as opposed to the average one you'd find here on Youtube? She hasn't got that extremely dark cream contour colour applied all over her face like war paint, unlike a lot of other demonstration videos. I think what people neglect is that those contour guide photos are only meant to emphasise the locations where the contour colour should go, but unfortunately a lot of folks take it quite literally.
No idea why she reminds me of ellie Goulding
This video is 6 years old. Can I just say that Lisa hasn't aged a day since? she still looks exactly the same.
beautiful!!!
What lipstick are you wearing in this contour video? I love it!
What lipstick are you wearing in this contour video? I love it!
Which are the colors in the Mac Palette?
So foundation, powder and then the contouring! Got it 🙂 thanks Lisa
After watching tons of contouring tutorials, this video is by far the best and most helpful!
Go cruelty free!!
Please do a video on cream contouring! As a makeup artist I identify myself with your work and how we see beauty . I'm on a mission to educate this generation that less is more. This whole Instagram trend is not what beauty is about . LOVE YOU LISA!
Lisa! You're amazing ! I would LOVE to send you a foundation for you to try and give me feedback. Please 🙂 it would help me a lot !
Every youtube "guru" needs to watch Lisa ! and especially this video !
Can you also use a small fan brush with this?
Better quality video with colors more visible would be nice.
my name is Michelle
this is so much better than the dragging contour trend at the moment.
Good
I love this darker hair on her
I have a hard time cause most of my face if freckles!! i dont know how to do it with all these freckles!!! if anyone is pale but has a tone of freckles any advice would be great!!
5 years later and this is still a much better contouring how-to technique compare t most overdone videos on contouring nowadays. I have warm undertones but I prefer cool toned shades to contour with bc they look more natural and the closet to the color of the natural shadows of our faces. Haven't been able to find the perfect one yet bc any palette that has the right shade also comes with loads of other shades that I'll probably never use and I hate buying something that I can't get full use of. I'm using single eyeshadow or brow powders to contour right now, obviously the pan is quite small for a contouring brush to dip into, but it's working for me atm
