What If you’ve been Contouring your Face the Wrong Way

In one of her makeup tutorials, a TikToker has demonstrated that in order to sculpt a face like models, Bella Hadid in the lead, you need to be sure of the used technique.

When talking about contouring, many thinks about Kim Kardashian; the woman who has changed the face of beauty. Makeup is not the only thing that can change the form of your face; games of shadow and light can also make a huge difference. There are various ways to follow in order to contour the face; however, having a lighter hand than the influencers’ is a must. A trick that both models and makeup artists keep in mind. In fact, International model Bella Hadid masters the best contouring technique.

In a video shared on TikTok platform, influencer SarahSuperSpa has unveiled her contouring technique that is worthy of the greatest models on the catwalk. She showed her followers that the steps they usually follow when contouring their face are will not give them the wanted effect. It’s all in the art of handling the brush, or the sponge. "The way we are taught, which is rather inefficient, is to draw your outline very high and blend it up or at the same level, then correct the bottom part with a concealer," she said.

To master the right technique, she recommended the following steps:

• Start the contouring under the cheekbones (in this video, she used the Amber color of Fenty Beauty's Match Stix Matte Contour stick)

• Continue to draw the line towards the chin

• Draw another line on the jawline in order to sculpt the cheekbones and hollow the cheeks

• Add a little highlighter or concealer on the cheekbones by blending towards the temples

• Powder to finalize the set

She specified in the comments that this method is to follow if you want hollowed cheeks and more pronounced cheekbones. However, she highlighted the necessity to choose the right shades.
