I swear by this method of snatching your face if you're new to makeup/contouring or even if you're just in a rush. It's just that simple!
Use your favorite liquid bronzer, contour or even foundation (in a contour shade). And as a finishing step in your liquid/cream phase of makeup (aka before powdering your face) put a small dot where your face “sinks in." You can find this spot by either opening your mouth a bit or making the "bird" face.
I like doing this as one of my final steps because it helps you not over contour (yes that's a thing) because you already have the blush and bronzer in place.
Then with a very detailed blending brush - a blending eyeshadow brush specifically- blend in small strokes going upwards and backward (this helps lift the face a chisel it!). Never blend down as we don't need to help gravity do it's thing.
