The secret to Underpainting: Get that glow-from-within look, even as we head into the winter months Underpainting is a technique that’s all about achieving a naturally sculpted look by applying your contour before your foundation. Appling your makeup products in this order means you can say goodbye to harsh lines and shadows that may otherwise linger on the surface. Learn how to pull off the technique to perfection with help from the experts at Morphe. STEP ONE Start by prepping your skin with a clean, moisturised, and primed base, before applying contour to the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, temples, and sides of your nose.
