    So why do makeup expiration dates matter? I think consumerism has a good handle on placing a lot of FOMO on people with cosmetics, there are so many new makeup launches, especially around this time of year. But the reality is, cosmetics EXPIRE, and pretty quickly So not only is there a lot of waste involved with this, but a large collection of opened makeup poses a lot of safety risks if you are not tracking how old your products are. buymeacoffee.com/BeautyGuidesPod

    Wikipedia defines contouring as a makeup technique that uses cosmetics to define, enhance and sculpt the structure of the face or other body parts, such as breasts. Contouring is so important for being on camera. Camera takes away 50% of the makeup applied to the face. Lighting in photography also takes away a lot of the definition of the face. In makeup, step 1 is we have to perfect the canvas and make the skin one even tone. It essentially leaves us with a blank even canvas. Contouring allows us to carve out your best features and make the face appear 3d again. Scientifically, the most aesthetically pleasing face shape to the human eye is oval. Contouring can be used to get any face shape to a more oval shape or to create symmetry. In this episode, you'll learn the techniques and tools needed to contour.
