MUFE | Sculpting Kit

Ramblings.

Alright, so I've been crazy about contouring and highlighting lately and I couldn't get enough of it. Like drawing your eyebrows, it defines and sculptures your face. I guess this is what makes makeup interesting. It's a different form of art where you can be creative with the techniques and colors. 

I always believe that Practice Makes Perfect when it comes to applying makeup. Contouring and highlighting was never something that I dabbled with. Mainly because it isn't the trend the girls in Singapore are going for. It's not that I'm making a judgement. I'm saying this based on what I see on the streets and other social media channels. Most girls aim for fair complexion, rosy cheeks and your-lips-but-better lip colors. And there's nothing wrong with that. They're natural, versatile and 'everyday'. 

I used to like that kind of look; clean, natural. But over time (with much experimenting), I know what colors that suited me better and really, my personal style. It was not until the end of 2013 that I started exploring with contouring my face. (mainly my cheekbones. i have a big face) 

At first I would contour when I'm just going out to run errands or have brunch with Jasper. And while driving/after we've reached home, I would ask him if it looked natural or weird. He'll tell me his honest opinion and I'll improve on my technique. 

So here we are now. Not quite the self-proclaimed professional YET. But definitely getting there. 

(a girl must have confidence.)
