So with Kat and sue this week we have learnt and practised face contouring, both dramatic and soft contouring. In all honesty I found it quite difficult to pick up at first as the whole contouring is quite alien to me, as iv never done it on myself apart from halloween!! ( never a good sign) anyway we were show what brushes to use, face products and the face anatomy.

and too prove my point that there is a fine line between good contouring and 'iv just painted myself like a clown' contouring; I watched the dreaded youtube vids of amateurs tackling this craze witch was made by the big names such as Kim Kardashian....come on who doesn't want check bones like hers that hit the ceiling......right?!

In all honesty contouring is absolutely fine as long as its subtle. I no that, that amount of makeup on my own face would be far too much to just pop to the shops with, without it falling off all over my fruit and fibre!
