In the context of makeup, contouring refers to the technique of using makeup to create the illusion of a more defined and sculpted facial structure. This is achieved by applying darker shades of makeup to the areas of the face that you want to recede, and lighter shades to the areas you want to bring forward.

Typically, contouring involves using a darker shade of foundation or powder to create shadows under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and on the sides of the nose to make it appear slimmer. Lighter shades of foundation or powder are then applied to the areas of the face that you want to highlight, such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and forehead.

Contouring can be used to enhance your natural facial features or to create the appearance of a different face shape altogether. However, it's important to use the right products and tools to achieve a natural-looking result, and to blend the makeup well to avoid harsh lines or streaks.
