It’s worth knowing that when taking a photo, the face, which is three-dimensional, appears two-dimensional, which explains the fact that some people change so much in photographs, or even appear chubbier than they really are, believe me, it’s not always photoshop’s fault. .

The fact is that leaving theory aside, the truth is that this makeup technique makes anyone look good in the photo, so much so that the great promoter of the technique is the muse Kim Kardashian, who every now and then teaches on a social network the step by step to achieve the same effect. So, do you want to learn? Write down the step by step:
First of all, it’s worth knowing that you can start this makeup in two ways, either with your skin ready, with a thin layer of foundation, or with a layer of BB Cream.
To do this technique you need to have two shades of foundation, one darker than your skin, and one lighter. First use the dark base to mark the areas that need depth.

Tune to Bochecha
The first step is to mark the cheeks, but remember that these markings must follow the natural design of the face, that is, the line must be between the zygomatic bone – the cheekbone – and the jaw bone.
Draw a diagonal line line, from the middle of the cheek to the hairline, towards the ear. Just be careful not to get too close to the mouth and nose. The line must also be very symmetrical, that is, on one side and the other, the same height and the same size.
Now, with this effect, you will give the impression of a thinner and more elongated face. But be careful, anyone who already has this region with a certain depth, does not need to mark their cheeks any further, or, if they want, mark them very subtly.

Harmonizing
Now is the time to balance your look, so the second marking will be on the forehead. In this case, this effect is ideal for those with a very long face. The lines should be made at the temples, very close to the hair roots.
(Info)If you have a very short forehead, you should skip this step, so as not to end up making your face too small.(/Info)
Tuning the Nose
Every woman wants to have a thin nose, which is why this nose design has become very famous. The tip is to exchange a very expensive plastic surgery for this makeup, which will also give you a thin nose, but without having to cut anything!
Just make two parallel and very straight lines with the dark base, always following the line of the holes in the nose and the beginning of the eyebrows, taking care not to apply it to the inner corners of the eyes or the eyebrow itself, the line should only be on the nose.

Diva look
To finish the markings with the dark base, let’s mark the crease, this region so often mentioned by makeup artists. However, we must bear in mind that the bone in our eyes is different for each person. So, you need to feel your own face and see where it is. On this little bone, we will apply the darker base to give depth to the look.
But don’t worry, use little product and focus more on the outer corners, as it will then be blended to give a finish.

But Volume
Okay, after the depth, it’s time for volume to complement the makeup, so now is the time for a light foundation, which should be applied to the top of the nose, higher up.
It is necessary to bear in mind that we are already working, at this point, with three tones, that of the skin itself, the darkest tone and the lightest tone. Note that it is, precisely, the contrast between them that will make the effect more incredible.
(Note) Those who have a more prominent nose, of course, do not need to lighten it, in this case, the tip is to just correct it with dark tones.(/Note)
Highlighted apples
The time has come to hide the dark circles, so let’s apply the light foundation in that area and on top of the cheekbones. In addition to hiding dark circles, this effect will also lift your face and look.

Featured eyes
The time has come to finish that crease we made, so now just highlight the area just below the eyebrows, an area that should always be clear in makeup to enhance the shape of the face and the look.
(Info)At this point, those who have well-shaped eyebrow arches and out-of-place eyebrows win.(/Info)
General blurring
Did you mark everything, is it all crossed out? Then, it’s time to, with the help of a fiber optic brush or a sponge, thoroughly blend all the lines made, the light and dark ones, in circular movements.
Carefully, eliminate all marked lines between the color transition. We need to be able to see the difference in color and where each one is, but not understand where one begins and another ends.
The result is just the effect of this design, which will leave your skin beautiful and your face full of volume and depth.

Finishing

The possibilities are many, from something more basic and for everyday life, like a brown smoky, for example, to something more for nighttime, like black, knowing that this skin preparation can be used for both daytime makeup. like at night.
The tip is not to put too much pressure on the technique if you are going to use it under the sun, the softer it is, the more natural the result will be.
