Master The Art Of Glowtouring

When two favourites—countour & highlight—come together for a flawless finish

If you ever needed an excuse to glow from head to toe, here’s one: The festive season. And this calls for a radiance that matches the sparkling lights. What better way to get it right than layering your favourite shimmery formulas to look extra snatched? 

#Glowtouring is the ultimate way to chisel your face and body while rocking a glass-like glow that even JLo and Hailey Bieber would approve of. “This soft, fresh take on contouring delivers a glamorous effect and is a major trend for the festive season. It’s all about combining highlighting and contouring for a radiant, sculpted look,” explains celebrity makeup artist Tanvi Chemburkar. 

Her best-kept secrets to ace the look? “Get your skin prep right with a creamy, dewy base. Carve out your cheekbones and jawline by placing a liquid contour onto the perimeter and hollows of your face. Apply highlighter onto the high points and blend it all in with a damp face sponge. Layer a liquid or cream formula onto the areas you want to enhance more,” says Tanvi. 

Add some warmth and fake a few Pilates sessions by glowtouring your body, too. “Prep your skin with a deeply nourishing cream or oil for hydration. Then, apply a cream contour onto your legs, chest, arms, and collarbones. Lift and illuminate by tapping a cream highlighter onto the areas you want to emphasise. Blend it all in with a makeup sponge or brush for a flawless finish,” advises Tanvi.
