Do you contour your face on a daily basis? Just for special occasions?
.
I only contour every so often. I don’t know if it’s really for special occasions, but maybe just when I feel like putting a little extra effort into it.

Not on a daily basis… because I don’t wear makeup everyday. When I do wear makeup, I only contour occasionally. It really depends on what look I’m going for.
hiya! if i knew how to i would, i tried doing my cheekbones yesterday, and i had comments that my face was bruised! i’d love to contour my nose! xx
I never do because I suck at it! I wish I could get the hang of it. I watch videos but when I try…I look like a clown! Oh well. Maybe someday.
Yes I do!
I wouldn’t know how to contour my face, even if you paid me.
I contour sometimes. For example if I use Nars orgasm multiple, then I feel like it is better with contouring. I guess always when I want to focus on my cheekbones I try to not forget contouring.
I do, most of the time, but only for my cheeks and very quickly, with a 109 brush and Nars Zen blush. If I wear bronzer (which is quite often since I’m so pale)I’ll do some contouring with it at the same time.
I never do, although it could help! I’m not comfortable ptting it on.
I contour whenever Im going out somewhere and already have dramatic makeup on. I wouldn’t say it’s reserved for special occasions, because I do it fairly regularly. But yeah, I dont bother to contour if I’m going to university or anything, I think it’s a bit much.
I contour my face ever so often, but mostly when I’m expecting photos to be taken. I’m so pale and washed out in photos that adding contour gives a nice dimension to my face. Otherwise I don’t contour much.
I ALWAYS contour my face no matter what. It makes my cheekbones pop!
Me too. I felt contouring took a bit more effort and time from my daily make up routine for work. If I were to contour it’d take 5 more minutes of my precious sleep time. Heh.
I never contour may face…everytime I forgot it 🙂
Only if I remember. I don’t find it is necessary to do it everyday.
i only contour my cheeks since you can’t see my cheekbones.
Whenever I’m not in a hurry ! I love contouring !!!
Yes, everyday! It’s one of my must-do before I leave the house. I may be 25, but I still have a flat asian face with some baby fat and I hate it. Contouring my cheeks, temples, and nose helps give my face dimension and makes me look more awake. 😀
No, not every day, only for clubbing or a formal event.
I contour every know and tend, I usually just highlight. Usually I just contour the sides of my nose because the contouring on the hollow my cheeks are often not noticeable anyway.
I contour my cheeks everyday.
…yes. Cheeks are my favourite part of a look, so Im usually wearing at least three different cheek colours :/ One to contour, one for colour up the cheekbone, and one for a slightly lighter, brighter colour on the apples!
Yeah, I always do the letter E trick with a pale bronzer (Organic Wear brand, the brown and pink one. Healthy Glow, i think its called? Its very subtle). I have a wide, round face, and it helps to balance it more.
Sometimes. When Im going some where special I do it for those occasions.
usually when i’m going out at night I contour my cheeks. it seems so intimidating but it’s actually super easy! i love to use lorac’s tantilize bronzer for this purpose
it looks like dirt when i try to contour. whatever i use, it doesnt work. if i could do it properly i guess id do it but still not everyday
I’m asian & have cheeky cheeks so I feel that I have to contour. I always contour! It helps so that it doesn’t make my cheeks look like a large pink circle!
I generally don’t contour for daytime makeup because it seems way more like obvious makeup trickery, but for going out in the evening, contouring is an important part of putting on a full face for me. It makes my cheekbones pop and gives my jawline definition. 🙂
I don’t contour that much. Don’t have enough time in my daily make up routine.
I contour everyday. I feel naked when I don’t : )
I only contour by shadowing my jaws. To make my face appear more oval shape and smaller instead of squarish and big.
