Natural Makeup Contour: DIY Techniques Using Organic Products

Contouring is a popular makeup technique used to define and enhance facial features. However, many store-bought contouring products can be expensive and may contain harsh chemicals. If you’re looking for a more affordable and natural alternative, DIY natural makeup contouring is the way to go.

In this article, we’ll provide you with an easy and effective DIY makeup contouring technique using natural ingredients, so you can sculpt your face to perfection while keeping it healthy and glowing.

Ingredients Needed

• Vaseline
• Natural beeswax
• Aloe Vera gel
• Eyeshadow palette with neutral skin tone shades (this may be replaced by a compact powder)
• Natural unsweetened cocoa powder

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

Items Needed

• Mini whisk
• Bowl
• Mini container

Measurements

• Three-fourths (¾) of a teaspoon of Vaseline
• 1 gram of beeswax = 0.03 ounces
• One-fourth (¼) of a teaspoon of the desired shade from the eyeshadow palette
• One-fourth (¼) of a teaspoon of cocoa powder
• One-fourth (¼) of a teaspoon of aloe vera gel (optional)

Steps: How To Make Natural Makeup Contour

1- In a small bowl, add ¾ teaspoon of Vaseline.

2- Add 1 gram of beeswax.

3- Scrape approximately ¼ teaspoon of any shade you want from the eyeshadow palette. Choose the shade that is suitable to your skin tone. Add the scraped eyeshadow powder to the mix.

4- Finally, add ¼ teaspoon of the cocoa powder to the bowl.

5- It is now time to melt the ingredients in a hot water bath. A hot water bath is done by placing a small bowl in a large pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually melt whatever is inside the small bowl without causing it to burn. As it melts, make sure to mix every now and then.

6- Once melted, you may consider whether the color is suitable for your skin. If not, you may either darken or lighten it.

7- For the aloe vera gel, this step is optional. If you decide to add it, use only the tip of a teaspoon, about ¼ of a teaspoon. 

8- Using a mini whisk, mix the aloe vera gel thoroughly.

9- Pour the finished contour product into a box and leave it to cool down.

10- Once the contour cools, you may start using it!

Why Do We Use Contouring

Contouring is a makeup technique that involves using shading and highlighting to enhance and define facial features. It’s a popular trend that many people use to create a more defined look. By using darker shades in certain areas and lighter shades in others, you can create the illusion of a slimmer face, higher cheekbones, and a more defined jawline.

One of the primary benefits of contouring is that it can help balance out facial features and make them appear more symmetrical. Additionally, contouring can create a more youthful appearance by adding depth and dimension to your complexion. It’s a versatile technique that can be used to enhance your natural features and give you a confidence boost.
