Beauty guide: Contouring 101

Contouring is a go-to trick for many celebrities because it highlights your cheekbones and gives you a fresh-faced look. The makeup technique can also make faces look more symmetrical, which is appeasing to the human eye.

Stars like Kerry Washington, Nicki Minaj and Victoria Beckham all use it to highlight their bone structures. The move looks great on every skin color, and is easy, even for people without makeup artists at their beck and call.
