Having been a makeup addict for years now, you’d think I’d be quite good at it by now right? Well to be honest there are so many parts of makeup application I’m rubbish at, contouring being one of them. For years I’ve been trying to master it, just giving myself dark dirty looking marks on my cheeks rather than the nice cheekbones I was aiming for. It’s only recently after lots of practise, and 100’s of hours of YouTube tutorial watching, and the right products, that I think I’ve finally managed to suss how to contour correctly.
Recently I’ve been using the KIKO Contouring Pencil Set when contouring, and I think it’s having a product that’s easy to use that’s really helped me. The Contouring Pencil Set is made up of a sculpting bronzer and an illuminating pencil, which I love the design of as it makes them so easy to use, and they’re rather pretty look at too. They are so easy to apply, you just draw on the areas you want to apply bronzer or highlighter to and blend in. I find it so much simpler than using a bronzer and a brush!
As I’m quite pale you can see that the bronzer colour appears a little scarily dark for me to start with, however once it’s blended in it suits me perfectly. I also think the illuminating colour suits me perfectly, and once applied it gives me a perfect glowy look.
I find using these so much easier to contour my face, without leaving me with those horrible dark dirty marks that I was struggling with before. What do you think of contouring? Are you able to do it, or like me have you found it bit of a struggle?

A while a go I never used to care about skin care. I would even go to bed wearing my make up. I know, I’ve broken the one main skin care rule! But in the past year I’ve become a bit of a skin care junkie. I’ve gone from having no skin care routine, to…
My eyebrows were fairly neglected in my beauty routine over the past few years. I used to pluck them, but I never had any idea of how to shape them, and in fact they were often over-plucked, leaving me with hardly there eyebrows. It’s only really when I started to blog that I decided to…

So I’m kinda new to the whole make-up brush scene (Don’t ask me how I’ve ever coped I have no idea!), and purchased my first set of make-up brushes last week. Mr Postman delivered them to me early Tuesday morning, I’ve never been so excited! I got this set of 12 make-up brushes…
Hi Girls! I’m currently writing to you from my deathbed. I’ve gone and managed to get myself some flu type cold thing -yuk! So I’ve spent a lot of time in bed on the Lemsip so there’s the main reason for my absence! I also wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks to all my new…
