Kim K’s sky-high cheekbones have everyone drooling. What if we told you, you could replicate them IRL? Sure you can. If all attempts at gum-chewing and face yoga have failed you, turn to the best of beauty; contour palettes are here to help you achieve the chiselled cheekbones you’ve always dreamt of.
In case you’re new to the contouring game, here’s how it works: contouring involves creating the illusion of depth and light on prominent areas of the face—to define your bone structure and enhance symmetry—by using a combination of lighter and darker shades. For years, our makeup kits have felt incomplete without this must-have product, so, if you haven’t already, now is the time to add this staple to your arsenal.
To give you a hand, we’ve curated a selection of contour palettes that'll give you that 'edge' over others; peruse our edit.
