Remember those memes about how women are fooling men by completely changing their faces with makeup? I STRONGLY believe that makeup should be used to enhance your beauty and bring out your best features with a little bit of dimension AKA contouring. If you're new to this, I promise you can contour in about 60 seconds flat, plus a little bit of time examining your face and figuring out how you want your makeup to look. I have fallen in love with Maskcara Beauty's IIID Foundation. It's basically a contour kit for beginners (customized colors) that helps you add dimension to your face and embrace your natural, dewy skin. It will include your highlight color (foundation), contour, blush and illuminator. As an artist, I can help you figure out what those colors are! Just fill out my quick color match form here.
