A New Favourite | Shu Uemura 'Art of Hair' Essence.Also, whilst we are on the subject of contouring, I have a simple tutorial here if you're after some ideas, and I've written about another one of my all-time favourite sculpting products here. The soft, rosey-brown colour is also perfect for this time of year - it's understated, simple and will compliment almost any make-up look - the perfect finishing touch! I didn't take a photograph of me wearing it specifically for this post, but if you're itching to get an idea of what it looks like when worn, then I used it for this little FOTD in this recent post. It is very much one of those 'sweep and go' kind of products. It's perfect for uni as it looks more natural for a daytime look, and it's so quick and easy to do.
#BEST MAC PRODUCTS FOR CONTOURING SKIN#
It looked wonderful with a tan over the summer, and looks even more striking now that my skin is paler - there is no doubt I will be using this throughout winter. If you're a little intimidated by bronzers or aren't too confident when it comes to contouring, I'd really recommend this little gem. I've even used a light dusting across my forehead and down the centre of the nose for a soft bronzed look.
Instantly, it makes my cheekbones appear more defined and my cheeks appear a little brighter and healthier - it really is a sculpting powder and a blush rolled into one! If I want a slightly more dramatic effect, I'll sometimes go in with my Real Techniques Contour brush and define a little more around the top of the cheekbones - but that's what so great about it - you're able to build up the colour lightly, to the level you're after. I simply use my Real Techniques blush brush to apply gently sweeping it along the cheeks and blending out towards the hairline to create a soft, contoured look. The matte finish is perfect for sculpting the face as it doesn't contain any shimmers - it provides a smooth, natural look. It instantly defines and gives a beautiful, natural effect without the need for any contouring techniques or time spent applying a variety of products and corresponding brushes - with 'Harmony', you can achieve that sculpted appearance quickly and easily with just one product and a blush brush. It is described on the Mac website as a 'muted rose-beige brown' and I would agree with that - it does have a certain 'hint' of rose in there - although it definitely is more toned down and extremely subtle.Īll you need is a quick sweep and you're done in a swish (yes, I just said 'sweep' and 'swish' in the same uldn't resist!). I can only describe it as a mid-way between a bronzer and a blush - it definitely leans towards a bronzer, but the slight pink/red tones in it takes away any orangeness and provides it with a certain warmth that looks really natural when applied. Although it may not look much in the pan, it's one of the most multi-functional, easy to use cheek products I've used and it makes creating a subtle contoured look simple, easy and quick to achieve. Mac's 'Harmony' blush is just the product I was looking for. However, contouring every single day can be a bit of a faff - especially when you need to get out of the house pretty sharpishly! I really wanted something that made defining the cheekbones quick and easy for those days where you don't want to spend a great deal of time doing your make-up. I feel somewhat un-finished without a quick sweep of highlighting powder and a touch of bronzing powder along my cheekbones. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you will know that I am just a little obsessed with contouring and the whole 'sculpted' look.
