Lift your Face with “Ice Cream” Contouring

The “ice contouring”: an unusual technique that is drawing positive attention and interest on social media. It is said that it ensures a “healthy” complexion, smoothing the features of the face.

One of the social media platforms that offer beauty tips on how to sculpt your face with makeup is TikTok. Contouring techniques are really popular among users to redesign their face in 3D, as Kim Kardashian likes to do.

A new method called “ice cream contour” is going viral on TikTok. It is not about eating ice cream to have a beautiful skin, but to give it a tensor effect in a few brush strokes.

The steps to apply the ice cream contouring

This makeup technique relies on applying 4 layers of different complexion products in a diagonal way and in parallel, on each side of the face. Here are the needed steps to follow for the perfect result:

• Draw a line on the cheekbone with a liquid concealer, starting from the outer corner of the eye, up to the temple

• Draw a second line just below the first one, using a cream blush

• Draw a third line using a bronzing powder stick

• Finish with a last touch of concealer

• Blend each line one by one with a big fluffy brush

As a result, your skin will appear slightly lifted upward, and your cheeks will appear more chiseled. Your face will also benefit from a healthy glow.

A meticulous technique

This subtle optical effect requires a minimum of experience in makeup. To make sure that the trick causes a tightening effect and does not pull the face down, it is necessary not to apply the product by starting further than the center of the eye.

Even if influencers apply generous layers of makeup on their skin, it is not necessary to do the same if you want a natural result. It is important to know that the thicker the stripes are, the harder it will be to blend them without mixing all the colors together.
