It’s no secret that the beauty industry has gone crazy for contouring. While it can look complicated and time consuming, achieving a sculpted look is actually easier (and faster) than you think. Although spending hundreds of dollars on products may work for some, those wanting to save some money can look no further than Maybelline for all their contouring needs!

FOUNDATION 

The key to a great contour, is perfecting your base. For that, you’ll want to reach for a full coverage foundation with a soft matte finish, like the Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation. The formula offers beautiful coverage, and feels lightweight on the skin. It blends effortlessly with the Dream Velvet Blender (a latex-free reusable makeup sponge), and it lasts all day without fading.

After applying the Dream Velvet Foundation, I covered my dark under eyes (and any blemishes) with a full coverage concealer. Then, I set everything with a translucent powder. Once my complexion was perfected, I quickly filled in my brows, and created a soft bronzey eye. After I completed these steps, I was ready to get my contour on!

CONTOUR

It can be overwhelming searching for the perfect contour palette. There are tons of options, color choices, and formulas to choose from. However, the Maybelline Master Contour Palette has taken away all the guesswork. It includes a wearable mid-tone brown, a soft pink blush, and a stunning luminous highlight – all for less than $10!

To achieve my contour, I first applied the brown sculpting shade to the hollows of my cheeks using a small domed cheek brush. You’ll want to spend a little extra time blending, so it doesn’t appear too harsh or bold. However, the formula of this powder is really finely milled, so blending won’t take long.

Next, I applied the blush shade to the apples of my cheeks with a slanted blush brush. This powder has excellent pigmentation, so be sure to only apply a little and layer as needed to achieve your desired look. Finally, I highlighted the tops of my cheekbones, and the bridge of my nose with the highlight shade. The included brush that comes with this palette is perfect for this powder, as it’s small and won’t apply too much color.

The finished result is soft, sculpted, and glowing! With these three products, you’ll be on you way to mastering the art of contour, for less than $25 and 25 minutes. You can’t beat that!

FINAL LOOK

To complete my look, I reached for a Maybelline Super Stay 24 Color in 136 Constant Toast, then I quickly applied a makeup setting spray. Check out the final results below!

The best part about this look, is you can find all of these products right at Walmart! Just look for the Maybelline end cap located in the beauty section (my store had it at the back of the aisle).  The Dream Velvet Blenders are going fast though, so be sure to check out your local Walmart soon!
