4 Of The Best Contouring Hacks To Get A Snatched Look, Easy-Breezy
Eyes On The Prize
Many overlook the fact that contouring your eyes will actually help lift your visage in a jiffy. This video tutorial proves it. If you wish to opt for this contour, simply apply a cream contour shade to the crease of your lids and at the outer corners of your lower lash lines. Blend well and then apply a stroke of concealer at the inner corners and outer corners of your eyes to clean up. This will lift and make you look like you have upturned eyes. Proceed to apply your desired eyeliner or eyeshadows after this.
Tip Top
This nose contour for dummies is really giving. It features a V-shape contour on the nose which is quite unseemly, but the results are amazing. To perform this easy nose contour, begin by applying contour from the hollow beneath your brows. Then extend that line to the tip of your nose. Repeat on the other side too and join the points on the tip to form a V. Now that your contour is in place, apply concealer on either side of your nose. Blend carefully along the V shape by mixing in the applied concealer too. The results are a pointed and sculpted nose.
Pat-y Smith
Application is key. It is a common practice, to first draw on the contour product and then use a brush or a makeup sponge to blend. But this really requires an impeccable sense of placement and the results are often not that flattering. This amazing hack shown in the reel above, explains how picking up cream contour on your brush and then patting it on, instead of swiping it, is so much easier and offers seamless results too.
Double Down
Want to hide that double chin? Well face yoga is a way out, but what is easier and instant? This contour hack is crazy good at doing exactly that. It involves pushing your chin into your neck to bring the double chin to the forefront and then applying the contour on it. Brush your double chin liberally with contour product and then lift your chin back to its normal position. Just look at how that double chin gets hidden in the shadows completely.
Add these super easy contouring hacks to your list and try them out for a pro-like contour anyday.
