How do I start developing with OpenCV3.1 and opencv_contrib in Visual Studio?

I want to be able to develop my openCV code in VS, my version is Professional 2015, Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1. I had intially just downloaded the OpenCV 3.1 executable and then linked my projects to the files from that, but then realised it did not have the extra face.hpp libraries.

So I followed this answer here on this stackoverflow question, which helped me compile x64 openCV3.1 with the extra opencv_contrib modules, but now my question is how do I create a project and have the dependencies for OCV3.1 with the extra modules configured?

Current OpenCV solution in Visual Studio:
