Introduction

Welcome to the world of contouring. Ready to learn how to sculpt like a pro without the fuss? Let's dive right in!

Makeup By Nida & Team takes their contouring inspiration from the master Makeup By Mario's work. Our lead artist Nida is 2x certified by Makeup By Mario The MasterClass.

The Art of Contouring

  • Shadow Play: Contouring is all about creating shadows that define your features. Think of it as an optical illusion that carves out cheekbones and adds dimension to your face.


  • Cool vs. Warm Tones: The key to flawless contouring is choosing cool-toned products. They mimic natural shadows and give you that sculpted look. Cool tones are like the shadows cast by sunlight, with a touch of grey. Avoid warm-toned products; they're for bronzing, not contouring.

Layering Like a Pro

  • Cream to Powder: Contouring is a two-step dance with cream and powder products. Start with a cream contour; it blends like a dream, creating those natural shadows. Our top pick? The SOFTSCULPT® SHAPING STICK by Makeup By Mario, available in shades for every skin tone.

Conclusion

Get ready to transform your look with the art of contouring! Choose cool-toned shades, and embrace the magic of shadows and highlights. Instant glam is just a few strokes away!

Skin care is a journey, not a quick fix. Typically, it takes about three months of diligent effort to see significant improvements. The key is to start early, identify your unique skin concerns, and craft a personalized skin care routine that will make you shine on your special day. Disclaimer : Before embarking on any new skin care routine, especially in preparation for a significant event like your wedding, it's crucial to consult with medical aestheticians and dermatologists. They can assess your skin's specific needs and recommend appropriate products and treatments tailored to your skin type and concerns. Your skin's health and well-being should always be a top priority, and professional guidance will ensure that your skin care journey is safe and effective.

Hair extensions can transform your look instantly, adding length, volume, and glamour to your hair. When choosing extensions, it's crucial to opt for real human hair, or REMY hair, which can be styled just like your own hair. Steer clear of synthetic options that are hard to style and tend to look less natural. As a professional in the beauty industry, I’m often asked about the best places to buy hair extensions. Whether you’re a first-timer or looking to try something new, here’s my guide to finding the perfect extensions for you.

Planning your wedding beauty look is just like picking out the perfect dress for every occasion! Think of it like choosing outfits that are beautiful yet less intricate than your main wedding day attire for pre-wedding events like the Mehendi or Sangeet in Indian and Pakistani weddings, or a relaxed bridal brunch in Western celebrations. Then, for your wedding day, you opt for a more detailed and majestic dress. Your makeup should echo this transition. Just as you wouldn’t wear your luxurious bridal lehenga or your opulent white gown to a Haldi ceremony or a bridal shower, your makeup approach should also match the elegance of each specific event. Let’s explore how Bridal, Semi-Bridal, and Party Makeup packages differ, mirroring the way you’d select your outfits – from the understated sophistication of pre-wedding events to the full regal splendor of your wedding day.
