How To Cream Contour For Beginners

Wish you could contour your cheekbones like a Kardashian? Well, with the right makeup products and lots of blending, you too can have the sculpted bone structure of Kimmy K. And we’ve created this simple how to video to show you exactly how it’s done.

Watch the video above to see our step-by-step guide on how to use cream contour products for cut cheekbones and a sculpted jawline.

Can’t watch the video? Read the tips below to get started.

Apply a cream contour in the hollows of your cheeks for supermodel cheekbones.
If you’re struggling to figure out where to place the product, you can suck in your cheeks and create a 'fish face' to see exactly where the hollows of your cheeks are.
Apply cream contour along your jawline to slim your jaw.
Blend in the cream contour product with your fingers or a cream contour brush, blending outwards.
Blend, blend, blend until the product melts into your complexion seamlessly.

I do think contouring can be overdone...

I do love cream based make up over many powders.

I've never tried contouring so very curious.

Ooh! This is good - I always stayed away from cream contouring products assuming they'd me trickier to use but this has given me courag to finally try out something new

Same here!

I tired and my fear was real ;D Back to powders and very very very subtle contouring.

I love your makeup philosophy!

Thanks Lucy. Strategy is simple - don't let people know you can't instead say you don't want to ;D On a serious note - cream make up also caused my skin to breakout

The video makes it look so easy! I'm sure practise makes perfect

I haven't tried cream contour but using powders. Cream blushers don't work that great on me so hope to get good outcome with cream contouring.

I'm hopeless at contouring. I've never tried cream contours, I'm too scared I would look like I've had face painting by a five yr old. You do it so well Sophie and make it look so easy to do

I really need to learn how to do this stuff...I bought a highlighter pack a while back and still can't commit to trying it out properly - so this is a must!

Great video and the contour looks so natural, would love to try cream contouring provided I can make it look that good.

Love font and great tutorial

That's super subtle and natural looking. I've never tried a cream contour because I worried it would look too 'masky', but that is lovely.

Great video, thankyiu!

Just watching that video now and Sophie makes it look easy. Maybe because I tried powder and it didn't work for me. Might have to check out a cream one.

Love watching Sophie demonstrate though. So helpful.

Never had much luck with cream contouring.

Snailor 20 Jun 2018 9:50 PM

Contouring with cream products really is so much quicker and easier than using a powder!

olivia_gough03 20 Jun 2018 6:58 PM

I don't really contour because its too hard

hthorpe 20 Jun 2018 6:55 PM

Great tips!

Not much into contouring but loved watching you do this. You make it look so simple & easy.

Khajiit 19 Jun 2018 1:14 PM

I'm too pale for contour cream, and it never quite buffs out for me. Looks so simple and good in this video though

NadSav 19 Jun 2018 10:22 AM

Amazing!
