Makeup Monday | San Jose Bay Area Makeup Artist Photography

I would like to introduce myself to you since I will be bringing you Boudoir Coterie’s Makeup Monday! My name is Mari, owner of Dolled Up Services in San Jose . I have over 12 years of experience as a Hair & Makeup artist! I’m excited to get this started so please comment on what you would like to read about in regards to makeup, beauty or even skin!

I have received many questions regarding highlight and contour and let me start by saying you DON’T have to look like Kim K to achieve mastering this technique! LOL highlight is achieved by adding a lighter tone(two shades lighter than skin) to the areas you want to bring out or accentuate , such as over brows, under brow bone, over cheek bone, cupids bow and over nose bridge. Contouring is a blend of a warmer bronze tone and a neutral brown(two shades darken than skin) to sculpt and create shadows in the face which will make the areas appear slimmer or more defined, such as near hair line, sides of nose bridge and tip, under cheek bones, chin and neck line. Now the million dollar tip for you is to accentuate and sculpt the part YOU want to bring forward or the part YOU want to slim or diminish. You do not have to highlight and sculpt every area unless you want a very defined and made up outcome. Hope this helps dolls!!!!!
