What is contouring?

Contouring, or contouring, is the application of shadows and light to visually enhance your facial shape. You emphasize what you like (like your cheekbones) and soften what you don't like (like a wide nose or a round face).

Facial Contouring: Makeup vs. Fillers

There are two popular ways to contour the face: makeup and cosmetic injectables. Both have their own pros and cons.

1. Contouring the Face with Makeup

Makeup contouring is temporary but effective. With bronzer, highlighter, and foundation, you can simulate shadows and light yourself.

✅ Pros: instant results, easy to apply at home
❌ Cons: temporary, requires good technique, not waterproof

Step-by-step makeup contouring:

• Choose the right bronzer shade (2 tones darker than your skin tone)

• Apply under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and sides of the nose

• Highlight the high points of your face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin

• Blend well for a natural result

2. Contouring the Face with Fillers

Want to enjoy a sharper and more defined face for longer? Facial contouring with fillers is a popular choice. Here, hyaluronic acid fillers are placed at strategic points of the face.

Treatable areas:

• Jawline (sharper, more defined look)

• Cheekbones (lifting effect)

• Chin (better symmetry)

• Nose (non-surgical nose contouring)

✅ Pros: natural result, lasts 9–18 months, no downtime
❌ Cons: small chance of bruising

Contouring by Face Shape

Every face is different. A successful contour treatment should match your face type.

Round Face Contouring

For a round face, the focus is on lengthening the face and slimming the sides. Fillers are often applied to the jawline and chin.

Oval, Square, or Heart-Shaped Face?

An oval face requires less correction but can benefit from subtle cheekbone contouring. A square jawline can be softened, and a heart-shaped face can add volume to the chin.

Seek medical advice for a tailor-made approach.
