    Apply the contour in the shape of a banana. Start at the top of your ear and work your way down, so the contour hugs underneath your cheekbone. Blend the contour upward, which helps lift your cheekbone up. Then, paint apply a contour that's a shade or 2 lighter than your foundation directly beneath the contour line. Buff these 2 colors together to create a seamless blend.

    You can set a cream contour with a contour powder, or just use a bronzer. Then, use a translucent powder to trace and set the space underneath your contour line.
