contouring and highlighting for dusky skin

hi..... 1 year back I went through a new concept. Contouring and highlighting. kim kardasian has given a new definition of contouring and highlighting by her unique style of makeup. internet literally has thousand and thousands of article about highlighting and contouring. so what is the need of this particular article?? the article is less about technique of contouring and highlighting and more about I have faced the problem to get the right product for contouring and highlighting. 1st of all the problem is  in India beauty products are of very limited shades. In Europe or USA there is whole new level of shades and budget products from very well known brands. but beauty industry of India lacks in this point. Lakme,Maybelline,coloressence and many of other brands may provide good foundations but they have limited shades. In the result fair toned beauties will be able to find her contouring product but for dusky skin girl it is impossible to find 2-3 shade darker than her original skin for contouring. in this article i'll focus to give a solution of this problem.



1st what is contouring and highlighting???
if you have round face contouring will help you to define your features. it will create an illusion of your jaw line and prevent the round look. it will hide if you have big forehead. it will help you to define your nose. by highlighting you can get a fresh and brightened look and a sharp nose feature. in this picture you will get the brief idea about it.


now the problem is to find the right product in india for dusky skinned girl. trust me, I have gone trough tons of product just to find the right shade. contouring can be done via foundations, concealers and eye shadows. In foundation it was impossible to find dark shades. when I tried to use lighter shades for highlighting it ended up resulting in cakey look. sad sad sad!!!! may be I was beginner of this thing. it also can be a problem. then I tried different concealers. it ended up with same result like foundation. here I need to mention that I was looking for budget friendly product in India. now most of the shadows have sparkles in it. so, I couldn't use it. for highlighting I have tried white highlighter from sivana pallete but I was not looking natural.  so, then got this bronzer from star cosmetics. the shade is golden. so the point is if you are of warm tone go for golden shade for highlighting. if you want go for cream based product then try to get something with golden base. For contouring go for some cool tone. I have purchased freedom mono eye shadow in the shade of nude or you can purchase everyone's favorite L.A girl pro HD concealer in the shade of coca. I have gone through other reviews. depending on that you can go for misscaires single eye shadows  in the shade of brown. i think these products will definitely help you out if you are in a search for contouring and highlighting products . happy contouring and highlighting!!!!
