Once you know where to place your product, the next step is how to layer and blend for a natural, flawless finish.

Layering Tips:

Always start with a small amount of product and build up gradually.

Apply cream or liquid contour and highlight before powder.

Set with powder products if desired for long wear.

Blending Techniques:

Use a damp sponge for a soft, skin-like blend.

Use circular or stippling motions with a brush — avoid dragging.

Blend contour upward to lift; don’t blend it down.

Blend highlight with tapping motions to avoid moving the base.

Common Tools for Blending:

Brushes for more defined looks.

Sponges for diffused, soft looks.

Fingers for melting highlight into the skin naturally.
