CONTOURING & HIGHLIGHTING KIT

By: Australis Cosmetics!

So every now and then there is a beauty product that has everbody talking. This is one of those

products. Raved about by beauty gurus, bloggers & vloggers all over Australia. A brilliant must 

have staple item perfect for beginners and professionals alike. The kit makes the confusion around

contouring simple. Broken down into 9 thouroughly explained, easy to follow steps using the 6

skin toned shades inside.

Now, if you're new to the art of contouring, let me break it down for you.

Contouring is a bit like magic. When done properly it can give the illusion of the perfect face.

Perfectly highlighted with chizzled cheek bones, a slimmer nose, face and that double chin, what

double chin? Know what I mean? If you've ever wondered how some women can transform them

selves with makeup and look almost unrecognizable, then you can bet your bottom dollar (along

with other makeup & other clever tricks) they've contoured the heck out of their whole face!

Ahh! Pretty packaging!!

RRP: $16.95 (Buy!)

Not to be confused with a similar looking Concealer Palette, which is designed to combat any redness, dark circles and imperfections 

on the skin.  The Contour Palette does a totally different job, yet both are brilliant essentials I recommend investing in your makeup collection. They are perfect to someone starting out in makeup who just want to concerntrate

  on getting the base right before delving into wearing loads of or any makeup. Without 

getting your base right, the icing on the cake will never look anywhere near as good as it could.

Just play around with products, practice and see what shades and techniques work for you.

You'll get there & with the help of products such as this one who break it down for you with

step-by-step instructions and pictures, you'll be contouring like a pro in no time! :)

SWATCHES!

From top to bottom/left to right as the palette shows above.

I'll admit taking the time to contour my whole face everday is not something I always do.

I am a busy mum of 2 toddlers so getting to spend time on my makeup is a treat.

However, this palette has so far changed my life as it makes contouring to much quicker

with all of the shades I could ever need all in one place! 

I feel like this has really helped my to perfect my base before applying the rest of my makeup

and it actually looks really natural on the skin and doesn't cake up with all the layers as I'd feared.

Do you contour?

What products do you recommend giving a go?

SCUNCI UPDO CLIP

Scunci

~ Ultimate Updo Clip ~

Simple Step-By-Step Guide! 
____________________________

#1
_______
You can create this look on either the left
or right side of your head or even in the
centre. Low or high, this look works well
whichever way you choose.

#2
_______
I have decided on a low bun on the left
side. Begin a loose, messy plait. The messier
and less care you take with this step will give you a softer
more textured effect.

#3
______
Wrap the plait around itself to create the
bun. This can be as loose or tight as you
like. Each way will result in a totally
different look. Both will work.

#4
______
Next hold your bun in place with your
fingers. Once you've decided where
you want to place the clip get your
Ultimate Updo Clip ready!

#5
______
I found the best place to insert the clip
is where the left over loose hair are from the
end of the plait.

#6
______
This Ultimate Updo Clip is stronger than it looks!
It will firmly hold your hair in place with just
the small bit at the top showing which
almost seems invisible on my dark hair anyway.


The Finished Look!

Scunci Criss Crosser

Scunci

~ Criss Crosser ~

Who remembers the famous fishtail braid from their school days?

I haven't rocked this style probably since then, and that's going on

....uh let's see, (counts) eeek has it already been 13 years!?

Ok, lets just get on with this simplified way on how to achieve

this tricky braid. This Criss Crosser gives you a helping hand

so anyone can do it! :)

Step #1

Brush all of your hair to one side.

Step #2

Separate all of your hair into two equal parts.

Step #3

Place each section of hair into the Criss Crosser as shown.

Step #4

Here is where it gets a little tricky. It took me a few goes, 

so don't stress if at first you don't succeed. :)

Take a small section of hair from one side and remove it out of the Criss Crosser.

Place it diagonally across to the other side and place it back into the Criss Crosser.

Step #5

Repeat step #4 on the other side and keep repeating until you have created 

a criss cross fish braid style to the length you desire.

Step #6

Secure with a clear elastic and decorate with hair accessories if you wish.

How To Achieve The Perfect Hair Bun!

Using The Scunci Bun Maker!

(Pictured Below)

Here is my Step-By Step Guide!

-

Step 1:

Pop your hair into a normal pony tail. Can be any height you choose.

Step 2: 

Place the bun maker around your hair tie. Don't worry if it a bit loose.

Step 3:

Spread your hair around the bun maker. You can do this in sections, but also works pulled around all at once as I have done.

Step 4:

Secure hair around the bun with Bobby Pins.  You can use extra if needed but I found the four provided in this pack was surprisingly all I needed.

Step 5: 

Spray with hairspray for extra hold and to smooth down any fly aways.

(I have not used any hairspray or any other products in the photos above)

Too easy! 

Literally only takes 2 minutes!

You can also watch how to achieve this look in the video below!
