Highlighting and Contouring Course

Hey! 

Yesterday me and Issy went to London to do the MAC highlighting and contouring course we got for our birthdays. It was a long day and we got drenched but we had a lot of fun! I learnt some things I didn't know and we also treated ourselves to yet more make-up 🙈

We had to get the train up to London and then walk from the station to Makeup London Academy in Camden. Literally as soon as we got out the station it started tipping it down with rain, we got drenched and looked like drowned rats but luckily there was a cafe opposite the academy so we went in there for a cuppa to warm up and dry off a bit until our class started. 

When we went in we were shown downstairs where the class was held and we had our coats taken and offered drinks so it was a warm welcome. The class can consist of 1-8 students but in our particular one we only had 4 of us in total so it was nice as we could all see what the tutor was doing. 

Jules, the tutor, demonstrated on one of the girls that was there for the course. She demonstrated on half her face then once finished we went off to have a go ourselves. Personally, I have had contouring done on me before and I hated it so I opted to practise and Issy was my model. 

As we had a train to catch we had to make sure we were on time, Issy knew how to contour before this course so she does it in her daily make up routine anyway (luckily). I done half her face to make sure I got it right, the look was natural and I was really proud of it, I also added some eyeshadow and eyeliner to make her eyes stand out a bit more. By the time I finished half of her face and made eyes even it was pretty much over so it is a good job she contours anyway haha! 

Contour and highlighting is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and today I even tried it on myself and I like how it looks as I tend to do it quite subtle. There are many videos online which contour and highlight most of the face when really its not necessary as it creates a heavier look. 

I will be posting a video on my new make up routine when I can get round to filming one! So keep your eyes peeled ☺️
