15 Best Drugstore Contour Kits

What is the big deal over contouring? Everyone seems to be doing it, but if you aren’t on the band wagon just yet, let us convince you. Contouring gives extra shape to the face and also enhances your bone structure. It puts all your best features forward and defines them. Sounds complicated right? It is so easy, here is our guide to contouring, and our favorite drugstore contour kits products to get the look!

1How To Contour

As we said before, from what you have probably read, contouring sounds difficult – but it actually isn’t complicated at all. It is a simple step to integrate into your makeup routine. Think first about what result you want – use powders for a matte finish, if you want something a little dewy, go for creams. Creams give you a more fluid, airbrushed effect too. We recommend dipping your brush in water when applying contour cream to make blending easier. Finish the look off with blush for a flush of color and ta-dah! You will be ready to dazzle!

For beginners, just build the contour around the top of your head, your cheekbones and the bottom of your face, pointing towards your chin to soften the point. Then blend like crazy to avoid left over brown marks – yuck! For highlighting, accentuate your features with a highlighter, it should be two shades lighter than your foundation. It will catch the light and shimmer. Apply your highlighter under your eyes in an upside-down triangle shape, in the middle of your forehead, and the middle of your chin.

Now we have got that covered, here are our favorite drugstore contour kits!
