Can't master the art of highlighting and contouring? Don't feel bad. Even the selfie queen Kim Kardashian is no expert!
Almost every woman at some point has made some questionable makeup decisions. But the highlight and contour technique is the hardest to perfect. Here are five common highlighting and contouring blunders that even celebrities fall prey to sometimes.
Harsh Lines
Who would think that the always-perfect Kim Kardashian — the woman behind the highlighting and contouring revolution — and a massive make-up entourage could allow the star to step out in public without blending her nose contour? Remember to blend away any harsh contour. Your contour should look like a shadow on your face, not unnaturally dark lines.
White Undereye Highlight
Don’t get caught like Eva Longoria and Aishwarya Rai with glaringly white undereye highlight! Instead, use a yellow or peachy powder that's more suitable for South Asian skin tones.
Wrong Colours

If you're going to contour your chest like Kylie Jenner, remember to bring the foundation down so you don’t end up with a two-tone chest. Even a self-proclaimed makeup guru like Kylie makes mistakes.
All-Over Highlight
Avoid making the same mistake as Gauri Khan by walking around looking like a shiny disco ball. Use very little highlighter and apply it with a fan brush to the high points of your face. A little goes a long way!
Excess Powder
Completely whisk away any excess powder with a fluffy brush so you don’t end up looking like Miley Cyrus and Rakhi Sawant in these wince-worthy shots!
