頭號最愛眉筆－Benefit 塑形眉筆
美國品牌Benefit選下產品不多，專注眉部及胭脂修容產品，所以產品品質更加出色，深獲化妝人士喜愛。高Ling最愛這個品牌的塑形眉筆，筆頭幼細，能精準地描畫眉毛，她表示自己用了這個品牌許多年了。

持久防曬：Cle de Peau Beaute - 全效修護細胞防曬乳霜
貴婦級品牌Cle de Peau防曬霜，售價近千，高Ling指雖然質地有一點厚重，但無損她對此的喜愛，大讚這支防曬相當持久，有一次工作曬了一整天補了無數次妝之後接受皮膚測試，獲讚所用的防曬不錯，仍有防曬霜留在面上，她因此而一直用下去。

一盒成眼妝修容：Dior Backstage Contour Palette 專業後台修容塑顏組合
簡單4色修容塑顏組合，就可以完成眼妝和修容，非常方便！（影片截圖）
高Ling只用這盒4色眼影，就可以完成眼影與修容，非常方便，打造簡潔高級妝容。高Ling尤其喜歡用左下角的暗灰啡色來打鼻影，因為帶灰tone所以非常自然。

因為高Ling近來走中性路線，所以眼影以加深輪廓為主，不會用太多顏色，她會用左下的暗灰啡色混合右上帶珠光的淺棕色加深眼部輪廓，然後用右下的啡色眼影加深眼頭，令眼睛看起來更深邃一點，最後用左上的珠光色提亮眼頭、眉頭、眉骨以及鼻樑。

I Tried Contouring for the First Time with Dior Backstage’s Contour Palette
I have a confession: I’ve never contoured before. Not in earnest, anyway. Don’t judge me. I’ve always been a bit lazy when it comes to putting on makeup, opting for a light blush with Glossier‘s Cloud Paint, or using tinted highlighter such as Too Cool For School’s Pearl Bay Invasion. What do both of the aforementioned products have in common? They can be applied with your fingertips. The main factor that has caused me to run for the hills whenever the concept of contouring comes up is that any makeup applied with a brush seems like too much work to me. Even so, I recently had the opportunity to try out Dior Backstage’s Contour Palette and I might just be a changed woman.
The Dior Backstage Contour Palette contains four different shades that are customizable, according to your skin tone. There are two light-capturing hues that are used to highlight, and two darker matte shades perfect for sculpting the contours of the face. Contour and then highlight – the how-to portion sounds easy enough and thankfully, it really is. The palette effortlessly adds definition to my face and the highlighting powder has a slight iridescence so that I had a subtle glow on my cheek bones after blending the product out. Thanks to the finely milled texture of the feather-light powder, a world of difference is made when blending into the skin, leaving virtually no harsh lines.
Note that the contour is richly pigmented, so a lot goes a long way (I found this out upon my first application after picking up the product on a brush). Even so, the powder is truly buildable, so with the correct lightness of touch, the colors can come out beautifully natural. I also found that the palette can actually be used as a bronzer, if you so wish. I applied the lighter of the dark shades very gingerly on my cheeks, as well as on my forehead and jawline and was pleasantly surprised to have achieved a delicate, sun-kissed effect. My final verdict: contouring is not evil and I may very well do this on the regular.
You can shop the Dior Backstage Contour Palette now at Dior Beauty counters, where it retails for $45 USD. You can find out more at dior.com. For more beauty news, read up on how Dior Beauty’s new Rouge Blush has the lasting power of lipstick.
