Blush and Contouring
Blush
Blush is a fabulous way to add colour and contour to the face, only apply blush if you have powdered your cheeks after applying your foundation, otherwise it will be blotchy and uneven. Powder on powder blends are recommended and blush should always be blended, leaving no harsh lines. Amina Cosmetics™ Contour Powder Blush in light layers to achieve the desired effect, should you apply to much blush you can use the setting powder to help tone down and blend the colour.
Contouring
Contouring means to change, accentuate, hide, strengthen and define your face. This technique is not for the amateur, it is a make-up artist's secret weapon! The products used for contouring are nude-skin toned blushes and cream based foundations two to three shades darker than your natural skin tone, Amina Cosmetics™ Mineral Foundation Powders can be mixed with equal parts of moisturiser to create a cream mineral foundation. Contouring gives definition to the cheekbones, it can narrow or enlarge the nose, create fuller lips, create a defined jawline, lift or enlarge the eyes, hide a receding hairline or minimise a large forehead. Contouring should only be attempted with expert advice, it can be tricky and if you get it wrong the effect is not flattering.
