When Doing Your Makeup, Do You Always Contour and Highlight?

News related: highlight

I've always admired women who take the time to do a full face of makeup every single day. Much like Kim Kardashian, whose face is perpetually 'beat to the Gods' (translation: absolutely perfect). I know she uses a professional makeup artist for events and public apperances, but on a regular day she does it herself. And whether you love her or hate her, you can't deny how gorgeous the final result usually is...

I've figured out precisely why it always looks so amazing. It's because she goes full throttle and does it all. In addition to foundation, blush, mascara, and lip gloss, she also takes time to highlight and contour, using the '3-technique'. (She talks about it here.)

I'm just going to go ahead and file this under 'not me'. While I'd love to master the art of H & C, I doubt I'll ever get to a point where I do this on a daily basis. I'm happy to do it every now and then, but for my day-to-day look, I subscribe to the naturally gorgeous 5-minute face theory. Always have, always will.

And you? Do you highlight and contour on a regular basis?
