Keyword: Subtle Contouring with Clinique

"How can you possibly contour on a daily basis?"

It is possible if you contour the way I do.  No fake-tans, no bronzers, no dirty lines.

Just clean, fresh, natural-looking highlights and contours on specific areas of my face.  That's the AMW style of contouring on a daily basis!

The key to successful natural-looking contour?  Using the right product.  I found it recently through Clinique Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palette in Defining Nectars (Php2,100.00).

A: Concept Shape Of My Face Triple Contour Review

I've already "hit the pan" on my favorite daily contour powder Pony Effect Nice Shading in Crony and I'm slightly panicking.  Aside from fixing my brows, contouring is a make up step I actually DO NOT SKIP since the year 2017!  Don't ask me why but I'm quite liking the subtle "shade" that I have on a daily basis and I get compliments saying my face looks slimmer *hehehe* 

One of my most recent Althea order includes the A: Concept Shape of my Face Triple Contour.  I actually like to try out various brands of contour powders especially those made in Korea because I find the contour shades to be perfect for girls like me who has fair skin.

POP Beauty Pop-Art Look

So you all know how much I enjoyed the "natural pop" I get from using Pop Beauty Pop Your Natural Beauty Honey Haze palette. on my previous post.  Today, I'm creating more POP-Art-like pop using my NEW Pop Beauty Products.

Okay, that's a lot of "pop" in one phrase!

Spot the difference?

Well, it's the lipstick!  I did a bit of lipstick-changing but I'll show you how I created such an easy look that warms my face and works well on photos (even in person!)

POP Beauty Founder and makeup artist, Sara Strand created new products (featured here) to achieve a flawless base and give more definition to the brows, cheeks and lips.  Part of the latest offerings are Velvet Powder Base, Peak Performance Brow, Insta-Brow Sealer, Highlight and Bright, Contour 101 and Matte Velvet Lipstix. 

Scroll further down as I feature 4 out of the 6 products from the collection.

Pixi By Petra Natural Contour Powder is Indeed Very Natural!

Do you want a contour powder that is very subtle yet noticeable in a very natural way?
I've found one!  The Pix by Petra Natural Contour Powder is indeed very effective as a contour shade regardless of skin tone.  For just one shade, this product can actually work!  All you need to do is know the "right" amount to apply depending on your skin tone and you'll be sculpted in no time!

My take of a very natural contour.

AMW Reviews: Etude House Face Color Corset Shade #5

For the first time, Etude House came up with a makeup packaging this is a bit simple BUT still unique in every way!

The Etude House Face Color Corset got my attention because I'm on the hunt of contour powder that is inexpensive yet works for my skin tone.  #5 is called Tight Shading Corset which I have a feeling is perfect for users with fair to medium skin tone.

Back to the packaging, it is in sleek plastic compact with clear top, with ring on the edge and corset design --- I call that cute and unique!  And yes, I kinda get it on the corset thing --- corset can instantly change your figure, just like a contour product --- as long as you get the perfect "Fit"...it'll give you that instant "lift" and "Magic".

Shade: #5 Tight Shading Corset

Based on store visits and online research, the "Corset" line from Etude House comes with blush powder shades, contour and highlighting powder.
