Before Contouring
When it comes to my everyday makeup, I typically only wear foundation, eyeshadow, mascara, and cream blush. I like to keep it simple so that when I'm not wearing makeup it's not too much of a difference, but for the love of cheekbones, I knew it was time to try contouring (even if my face looks less sculpted when I take my makeup off). As an entry-level contour-trier, I watched this helpful video prior to applying the new product.
During Contouring
I decided to start small, and only do two strokes of contour per side. I did one line right under my cheekbone and another one a bit above my jaw. Much to my surprise, I found the gel went on very smooth, and while the color was pigmented it still felt extremely lightweight. (I expected it to be much heavier.)
I messed up the first line of contour I put on my cheek, so I wiped it away with a paper towel and it came off easily. Since it's so lightweight, I was able to start over without having to take my foundation off or redo it, since the gel didn't set yet.
After Contouring
I used a wet BeautyBlender to blend the contour into my skin. I should note that the product description says to "swipe it on, then use your fingers or a dense brush to blend + build wherever you want to add depth" but since I'm new to the contour game, I wanted my overall look to be more blended than bold — and that's the exact result I got. If you want a stronger shadow, simply use your fingers to blend, and add more of the product as desired.
Finished Look After Using the KVD Beauty ModCon Liquid-Gel Contour
With a more defined jawline and cheekbones to match, it's hard not to love a product like this. Since I started small, I've already decided that I'm going to add more of the product to my skin the next time I use it to get an even more defined shadow.
Still, for a first-timer, the ModCon Liquid-Gel Contour was extremely easy to use and delivered results that are just enough to make a difference. Whether you want bold or blended, dark or dewy, this new KDV product can give you the best of both worlds. Welcome to my makeup bag, KDV Beauty.
