Best Contouring and Highlighting Tutorial With Kandee Johnson This makeup tutorial from crimson-haired YouTube doll Kandee Johnson removes all of the mystery surrounding contouring. (Sure, we know everyone says contouring is out, but that doesn't mean makeup artists aren't still using it on their celebrity clients.) In this video, she shows us how to contour as well as highlight the face from all angles (see our strobing makeup tutorial here) for that lit-from-within glow.

Along the way, Kandee explains the ideal face shape as well as makeup color theory, in a way that only she knows how -- with tons of humor. She also shows us how to spotlight our best features, while downplaying our less-favorable ones. When her entire face is covered in highlighter and contour, and we worry she's steered us wrong, she pulls out her trusted Beautyblender and shows us the way to a beautiful, chiseled end result.

Kandee's Tools: RCMA VK 11 Palette, $72, L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Crayon Concealer, $8.95, Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation, $42
