TruBlend Serving Sculpt Contour Palette
2 shades
Step 1: Contour your cheekbones.
Dip your brush in one of our COVERGIRL Contouring Palette shades, and dust off excess powder. Imagine a line that runs from the tip of your ear to the corner of your mouth, and apply the contour shade across that line using circular motions.
Step 2: Contour your jawline, hairline and nose.
A wide angled brush is best for the jawline and hairline, while a smaller sized will suit the nose area.
Step 3: Sweep blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
Excess blush on the brush can be swept across your nose for a pretty finish.
