The holiday season is starting and with it come office parties, open houses and family dinners. To look refreshed for all the socializing and snapshots (even though you might not feel it!), try contouring with powder before adding your glam holiday makeup. Cream contour kits have become beauty’s gold standard, but while they may be the most publicized, powder contouring is a much easier and longer lasting option. Using Anastasia Beverly Hills powder contour kit, you can easily achieve a quick contour with a natural finish in just a few simple steps.

  1. Start by applying the Banana shade with the smaller end of the contour brush underneath your eyes. Use a sweeping motion.
  2. Continue to blend Banana along your cheekbones, temples, chin and bridge of your nose. Next, fan Banana onto the center of your forehead and blend outward.
  3. Sweep Fawn below the cheekbones. For this step, use the angled side of your Tarte contour brush.
  4. Combine Fawn and Java, and blend below the cheekbones with the angled side of the brush. Blend along the hairline as well. This will help deepen your bronze. If your skin tone is fair, you can skip this step.
  5. Apply Fawn underneath the jawline and blend.
  6. Using a large eye shadow brush, apply Fawn to the sides and bottom of your nose and blend. This will help minimize the appearance of your nose.
