Beyoncé’s Make-Up Artist Shares Contouring Trick

Can't say we've ever heard of this one!

Getting the hang of contouring isn’t exactly easy and we do appreciate an expert tip or two.

Celebrity make-up artist Sir John, who’s made up Beyoncé and Joan Smalls among other famous faces, spoke to Byrdie recently and revealed his top tip for flawless contouring.

It doesn’t involve make-up and this tip focuses on SPF which is something that should be in your day-to-day beauty bag anyway.

“You know, after you apply sunscreen at the beach, you can apply another thick layer only above your cheekbones and above your brows.

“Then, at the end of the day, you’ll have a natural-looking contoured, highlighted look” said Sir John.

This gives the effect of natural strobing and while it’s perfect beach beauty when on holidays, we’re still going to try a little SPF under our everyday make-up.

We love the idea of a glowing look, perfect for everyday when you don’t have the time to perfect a full-on contoured face.
