The Neapolitan

The Neapolitan is Infinite Pretty's personal guide for beginner contour-ers. It's a simple combination that even the most inexperienced makeup artist can master. It's designed just like your favorite neapolitan ice cream!

Vanilla Highlighter: use a highlighter to line the peak of your cheekbone above the apples of your cheek to the tops of your ears, do this without smiling, like you would blush, it will make for a more fluid natural look

Strawberry Blush: apply your blush starting by swirling it on the apples of your cheeks & then sweeping it up towards the temples for a more youthful look, if you apply the blush too low on the face it will make you cheeks look droopy & aged

Chocolate Contour: using a contour powder, or even a bronzer, brush along the lower cheek line diagonally up to the lowest point of your eyes, going any further will make the definition seem unnatural & silly looking

There are other facial features that can be contoured & highlighted such as your brow bones, the jawline, the nose & a couple others. Always start simple when it comes to defining you face. Get the feel for defining the cheeks before you move to any other prominent features & soon you'll be a contouring pro!
