If you have a diamond face shape like me, you know that our cheekbones stand out prominently, giving us a unique, striking look. However, we have to be a little strategic when it comes to contouring. The goal, of course, is to enhance our best features while softening others. So, how do we do that? Let's dive into the world of contouring!

How to Contour for a Diamond Face Shape

When contouring a diamond face, the focus should be on balancing your forehead, cheekbones, and chin. Here are a few essential steps:

• Cheekbones: Apply contour just below your cheekbones and blend upwards. This will help define them without making them overly pronounced.

• Forehead: Since we often have narrower foreheads, apply a lighter highlight in the center and contour around the edges to create a more balanced appearance.

• Chin: A small amount of contour along the sides of the chin can soften its pointy appearance. Just tap a bit on and seamlessly blend!

To visualize this better, check out the diagram below. It marks the ideal areas on your face to apply contour for our specific diamond shape.
