People with darker skin can choose green and purple. Dark contouring powder can create shadows, light contouring powder can brighten facial features, and warm contouring powder can act as blush. People with yellow or dull skin can choose green to cover up, and people with fair skin can choose purple to whiten and brighten skin. Contouring is not just about contouring powder. Contouring in a broad sense includes highlights, shadows, blush, bronzer, etc. The main function of contouring powder is to modify the contours of the face and make the facial features more three-dimensional and stylish. Especially for Orientals, due to their innate deficiencies, they need to use contouring powder more. And usually, the center of the forehead, the bridge of the nose and the chin are the places where light-colored contouring powder is applied. Applying light colors on the temples and under the eyes can make the eyes brighter and more radiant.

The difference between nose shadow powder and contour powder is: the main function of contour powder is to modify the facial contour and make the facial features more three-dimensional and stylish. Especially for Orientals, due to the lack of congenital conditions, contour powder is more needed. Generally, it is mainly brown or coffee color, and its purpose is to modify the facial contour. Use a powder brush to sweep on the sunken parts of the face, such as the sides of the nose bridge, the sides of the forehead, and under the cheekbones, which can create shadows and instantly reduce the wide face. And usually, the center of the forehead, the bridge of the nose and the chin are the places where light-colored contour powder is applied. Applying light colors on the temples and under the eyes can make the eyes brighter and more radiant. It should be noted that the transition between the light-colored contour powder and the surrounding skin color should be natural, especially where the light and dark intersect. Contouring uses color difference to achieve the purpose of more refined and perfect facial contours.

When cosmetics are unopened, the shelf life can reach three years. Dry powder cosmetics such as contour powder have a shelf life of one and a half to two years after opening. This type of cosmetics, especially those made of dry powder, can last for a long time. They can be used only if they have no odor and are effective when applied. But it is best to use them up within the shelf life. The powder has passed its best use period, which is very bad for the skin. It may cause facial allergies, redness and swelling, and the contouring effect is not good. You can grind it and sprinkle it in leather shoes or casual shoes to prevent sweating and foot odor. Expired powder can be crushed and washed with makeup brushes, and can be applied to the neck or arms. This will not only avoid waste, but also make the best use of it. However, before using it on the neck, you can apply a little to see if you will be allergic.

Contouring powder is a type of pressed powder. Contouring powder is a solid beauty product in the form of a cake, which is made by mixing and pressing a variety of powder raw materials (including pigments) and adhesives (oil components). It has the functions of covering, adhering, spreading, coloring, and modifying. Depending on the way it is used, it can be divided into dry, wet, and dry and wet dual-use types. This type of product has a cooling effect and is mostly used in summer. The charm of pressed powder lies in its smooth and light touch. The compact powder box is easy to carry and use. But the disadvantage is that the sponge is easily stained with too much powder, resulting in too thick application. So pay attention to the amount when using it, and try to apply it lightly.
