Contour Versus Concealer – Basics You Need To Note
Before you get confused between a concealer and contour – here are the basic differences that you must learn oon each.
Aspiring fashionistas and a few women are often confused between the use of a concealer and contour. So, what they end up doing is apply both - that is a concealer and contour - all over the face and then, complain about having a cakey look in sometime.
Well, neither a concealer nor a contour should be applied all over the face. Both - a concealer and contour - should be applied at particular spots of the face in order to avoid the cakey appearance of the makeup.
Who Should Do Your Wedding Makeup On The D-Day?
So, take a look below to know all the differences between a contour and concealer before you decide on using one.

-
Basics
As
the
name
says,
concealer
covers
noticeable
dark
circles,
dark
spots,
and
freckles
on
the
skin.
Concealer
adds
a
long-lasting
perfectness
to
a
tired
and
dull
appearance.
On the other hand, contour is used to enhance and highlight the natural features of the face - like its shape - and makes it distinct. Contouring has been a beauty secret for actresses since ages, but now it is being taken up by all the fashionistas out there.

Types
There
are
4
types
of
concealers
-
Liquid
(for
light
coverage
on
the
face),
Stick,
Compact
(for
narrow
or
particular
areas
of
the
face)
and
an
Eye
Concealer.
Under-eye
concelaer
is
less
dry
and
thick
in
texture,
than
other
types
of
concealers.
With liquid foundation, you should conceal first. For powder foundation, you can conceal later.
Coming to the different types of contouring, it depends on which part of the body it is being done and hence called by the same name - leg contour, feet countour, ab contour, face contour, hair contour and so on.

Contour
-
Shade
An
ideal
concealer
should
be
two
shades
lighter
than
your
present
base
skin
tone.
It
highlights
your
complexion
emphasizing
on
the
perimeter
of
the
face,
that
naturally
catches
light.
A contour should be one or two shades deeper than your present base skin tone. Contour works on your hairline, the hollows of cheekbones, jawline and neck.

Props
To
Use
Right
concealing
of
the
skin
can
be
done
with
an
angled
brush,
a
blusher
brush,
a
bronzing
brush,
a
cream
highlighter
and
a
flat
brush.
Right contouring can be done using your fingers as well. In fact, using a brush for contouring increases the scope of cakey makeup. Those who do not want to use your hands can take the help of a stiff-pointed tip brush to just let the contour touch only the tip of your acne, blemish or dark spot.
