How to Highlight and Contour

NYX Professional Makeup Highlight & Contour Essentials

We’re all about that glow! From blush-touring to lit-from-within skin, we’ve compiled an easy-to-follow guide for all your highlight and contour needs.  

Look #1

Highlight & contour Ready to learn how to contour and highlight? For the most amazing contour and highlight makeup, use NYX Professional Makeup’s 2-in-1 Wonder Stick to highlight, contour and blend. To apply, first define your features by swiping the darker shade of your contour stick along the natural contours of your face, like beneath your cheekbones and along your jawline. Then use the highlighter stick on the opposite side to illuminate and brighten the high points of your face.  Pro tip: Lock-in your sculpted makeup look for up to 16 hours with Matte Setting Spray.  

Look #2

Blush-touring Meet blush-touring—the latest contouring trend that uses blush to achieve a sculpted look. Apply blush in the perfect manner to get the look with Wonder Stick Blush. Color, shape and blend like a wonder with these dual-ended creamy blush sticks. First, apply the dark shade where you would normally contour to shape and carve cheekbones. Then apply the light shade to the top of your cheekbones to add color. Blend upwards to diffuse color for a blushing, effortless flushed glow. Pro tip: Apply Wonder Stick Blush onto your nose for an easy, sun-kissed look.  

Look #3

Jumbo glow Want to update your summer glow routine? Look no further than NYX Professional Makeup’s Jumbo Multi-Use Face Sticks. Just twist up and apply, no sharpener needed. For a flushed blush look, start by applying Jumbo Multi-Use Face Sticks in a pink blush shade (like shade 04 - Blueberry Muffin) to the cheekbones. Apply another shade to highlight cheekbones and strobe to emphasize highpoints of the face for a lit-from-within, glowing makeup look. Pro tip: Complete the look by applying NYX Professional Makeup’s Jumbo Eye Pencil & Jumbo Lash Vegan False Lashes to eyes.
