I have been looking into wedding makeup for a while. I have noticed it is not easy for me (an East Asian) to find a makeup artist in my area, that works with my feature well. So I did some digging to see if I can do my own makeup, and I noticed something interesting:
In the state, we often go with the high contour heavy coverage look. This is because we don't want to look "washed out" in the wedding photos. Looking at a few popular makeup tutorials I have noticed Asian wedding makeup focus more on the natural look. The picture in the middle is already considered as "a lot of makeup" from what I have gathered. I do like the natural looks more, since I usually wear a little to no makeup.

Now I start to wondering, and maybe people who are more familiar with makeup and wedding photography... Does contour really make that big of a difference in HD photos? Will I look "washed out" if I have decided to go light on my contour?
