It’s no secret that I am a MAKE UP FOR EVER fiend! Ever since we got our very own Make Up For Ever boutique in the King of Prussia mall I’ve been all about the brand. I mean who wouldn’t with their amazing formulas, versatile products, and mouth watering pigments. Now I love a good highlight and contour. Not so much that I look like I’m going to a photo shoot but enough to really accentuate my high cheek bones and what I feel to be an amazing bone structure (Thanks, Grandma!). Usually when I highlight and contour I reach for two products one being the Make Up For Ever Velvet Finish for a soft contour and the other my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Global Glow or Black Up Cosmetics Sublime Powder for a highlight.
A little while ago Make Up For Ever came out with a new way to sculpt your face and create a very natural Highlight and Contour. The Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo creates and undetectable face contour that complements your skin.
The Make Up for Ever Sculpting Duo comes in two shades, a Pink Beige Duo as well as the Golden Duo pictured above. I’ve tried both and just like the Golden Duo the Pink Beige Duo is very Brown Girl friendly and I feel the highlight would be gag gorgeous on someone who is darker skinned. I apply the Makeup For Ever Sculpting Duo using the Make Up For Ever Double-Ended Sculpting Brush. I use the rounded in for the contour and the angled end for my highlight. Though it’s recommended to use the 156 Large Flat Blush Brush.
Pro Tip* Like the new Artist Eyeshadows you want to drag your brush across the top instead of rubbing it in the product. This will help you to pick up maximum product.
The Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo retails for $39 and should make its way to your makeup collection post haste! It can be found at the Make UP For ever Boutique or your Sephora and Sephora.com.
I need to follow you because I don’t know a thing about makeup only wore it once in my entire life and that’s on my wedding day. I hated it felt unnatural which later I realized it was too heavy. I like the light look that you have though but I need practice on what to use and how to use it.
I have been to scared to highlight my face, this was very informative to a newbie and love the protip.
Thank you for the great article ill be sure to purchase Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo
This is great makeup advice, I love that this comes with a two tone. I think it can be hard to blend markup when it comes in just one color. I love how this looks on you it’s a great color.
While I don’t wear make up, all of my friends do! I like to stay on top of new products and also how to apply it too! I loved your photos and really does accentuate your beautiful smile and face! I am sure my friends will be excited to also be introduced to a new product! I guess applying make up is by trial and error, eh?
I am not a makeup girl and I could use these tips. I love the shades and it suits you well. You did a great job at blending the colors. I love all your photos, especially the last one.
I need to try this Make Up Forever as your skin looks absolutely beautiful. The price sounds very reasonable and I find most make up prices outrageous. I’m glad this brand is available at Sephora as there is one close to my home.
Makeup Forever is an awesome brand of makeup. This color looks great on you and really enhances your beautiful skin. I’ve never thought about highlighting my skin but now that I see it on you, I might give it a try.
I swear I can’t live with a good bronzer to contour. I am obsessed with all the bronzers all over my face. I’ve decided that my go-to routine look is my foundation, concealer…and now two different types of bronzer. I’m using the sonia kashuk cream bronzer and over top I layer a powder BareMinerals bronzer to add more depth and warmth. Your highlight looks WICKED, and I can’t even tell you bronzed – which is a good thing, it looks so natural, right?!
This is the absolute perfect colour for you! You are gorgeous to say the least! Thanks for sharing, I haven’t heard of this brand before so I appreciate being able to learn more about it!
