Modern Contour Eye Shadow

First Why:

The modern contour may be used in addition to or as an
alternative to the classic contour.

It provides more color weight to the outer corner of the eye.

The affect of this technique lends itself to opening the eyes outward and gently upwards.

Though beautiful on everyone, it is very effective on a mature eyelid that has lost some of its visible eye crease due to loss of elasticity in the eyelid.

 

 

 

Now How:

• Using the bullet brush, brush a darker shadow from the outer corner of the eye in the crease to the center of the eyelid ending and diving into the lash line at the pupil.

(Please note: this application mimics the wedge eye liner, only a thicker version).

• The shape drawn is similar to an elongated triangle or a doorstop.

• With a very small circular motion, using the side of the bullet brush, gently blur the upper descending border of the contour up and in as the brush moves towards the center of the eye at the lash line.

• Repeat this until the modern contour is blended to satisfaction.

  1. Hi Chris, I have your book, which I thoroughly enjoy. Love the video/tutorial on the Modern Contour Eyeshadow. Thank you for remembering those of us who have mature eyes.

  2. I have always loved sharing this technique with my clients and watching their amazement on how simple a technique it is and how the modern contour was what they were missing in their bag of tricks.

    Thank you for enjoying my book. It continues to be a best seller on Amazon well over a year after it has launched. Once you own this book, you realize that the answer was here all along.

  3. Also, I forgot to ask, if you haven’t already, will you please post a review on Amazon. Endorsements like yours always help. Thank you.
