MORPHE CONTOUR BRUSH SKIN

The tinier angled end also deserves a shoutout for its pin-point contouring abilities, which can also be used to apply and blend concealer on your undereyes. That's because its large, flat-top head is made for buffing not only your contour products but just about any base makeup you have in your bag, including foundation and blush. What makes Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Complexion Brush so unique is its larger brush end, which you may have noticed isn't angled. Its synthetic bristles are also lightly packed, so blending is a breeze with this pick.

Morphe's M405 Angled Contour Brush is not only an under-$20 choice (cha-ching), but its angled brush head makes it a master at applying crisp, precise lines. When it comes to contouring, it's all about the angles - angled brushes, that is. Below, take a look at some of the best contour-sculpting brushes for dagger-sharp definition no matter your budget. Now, it's time to get to buffing and blending. Since contouring is all about mimicking the natural shadows on your face, a matte finish is essential to creating a natural-looking finish.

It's also worth noting that contour and bronzer are two different products: 'Contouring is about shaping and defining the structure of the face, while bronzing is about warming up the skin where the sun would naturally hit,' New York City-based makeup artist Daniel Martin previously told Allure. 'Anything you shade will optically recede,' he said, so remember to use your contouring products on shadowed areas of your face, such as your jawline, under your cheekbones, and/or the perimeter of your forehead. First off, how does one even contour in the first place? Well, it all depends on your face shape, but New York City-based makeup artist Benjamin Puckey previously told Allure that there's one simple rule for all contour beginners to know.
