Make up School Exercise #3 - Contour and Highlight

Out of all the techniques in make up, I must say Contour and Highlight is my favorite. According to my wonderful make up guru RB Chanco my face shape is square face that is heart shaped, so I really love to contour and highlight.

This session, my model was my good friend Kara. Or more commonly known as Krista's look alike hehe. Kara is naturally gifted with beautiful skin so make up on her face was exquisite. Her face shape is long therefore contour and highlight was also best for her to achieve a smaller looking face. We basically did the whole prime look again on our model and then added the contour and highlight. :)

Here are the pics from that session. :)

Beautiful RB and Kara :)

Kara's light contour :)

Me and Kara

Please forgive the weird lighting of the pictures, i'm still trying to figure out my new camera but amidst the weird lighting, Kara was even more beautiful with just the right amount of emphasis by contour and highlight.

My goal was not ake her look made up, I wanted her to look as natural as possible. And I'm glad I achieved it. :) She was ready to go on her date right after the class. :)


Toodles! :)

Product Spotlight: MUFE Sculpting Kit #03

Hey girls, decided to do a review today on MAKE UP FOR EVER SCULPTING KIT in 03.

This was a gift given by my boyfriend back in April when he came here to visit me in Manila. He brought along this sculpting kit and like 3 other paper bags full of goodies from Sephora. It was LOVE. Hehe

Anyway, I only have 2 sculpting kits. I have the 6-pc coastal scents/dollface cosmetix contour palette and this one. On regular days If I put on make up at home, I use the contour palette, on other days especially if I am not home I use the MUFE kit. Basically because MUFE is always in my kikay kit I dont see it when I put on make up at home. So when I need to do make up outside, MUFE it is :) So let's begin:

Without FlashWith Flash(medium red brown/ ivory beige)
Size of compact: 5inches x 2inches
Size of each pan: 2inches

Each shade comes in its own pan thus lessening both colors mixing together. I really love the fact that I can bring this compact anywhere with me since it fits in any small bag. The pans are also refillable with a little hole at the back to push the pans out. The colors are great too, here are the swatches:

On Fingers

On Skin

What can I say, the boyfriend really knows how to choose the right color for me. The colors are just right on my skin, of course with a lot of blending. I use an Angled Blush Brush for my contour and highlighting with this product. This palette really does a good job and extra snaps for it being refillable eh? :)

To run things down, here are what I like and don't like about the product.


Likes:
- Brand has 4 types of shade kits to choose from
- Contour and Highlight comes in separate pans
- Refillable
- Pigmented therefore lasting me forever (Ive ad mine for more than 6 months and i'm not even 1/4 into the pan)
- Super portable!

Dislikes:
- Pricey!! $45 a kit (approx. PHP2,000)
- The clear cover gets scratchy :( I just want it to look new forever hehe

Will I repurchase? Probably not since mine will last me a loong time. :)


I definitely recomend this kit from Make Up Forever. Maybe not in the exact shade but, the product overall is superb! :) I don't know how this product will compare to MAC's Sculpt and Shape since I don't have one. But I definitely want one to compare hehe *ahem*ahem* lol

How about you lovelies? What is your favorite Contour and Highlight Product? :)

Toodles! :)
