It's supposed to make your face look slimmer, so if you do it wrong and don't blend it well, it obviously won't do that. Many people apply a contour line across their cheeks and blend it out, but this makeup artist shared a way to get a defined face without the line. Take a look. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><div data-type="SOCIAL_CARD"><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsmakeupbymelissam/video/7260201870247988523" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7260201870247988523"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsmakeupbymelissam?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="@itsmakeupbymelissam"> @itsmakeupbymelissam </a> This also looks more natural bc you use way less product!! <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/makeuphack?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="makeuphack"> #makeuphack </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/contour?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="contour"> #contour </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/contourtutorial?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="contourtutorial"> #contourtutorial </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/makeuptutorial?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="makeuptutorial"> #makeuptutorial </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/naturalmakeup?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="naturalmakeup"> #naturalmakeup </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/makeuptip?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="makeuptip"> #makeuptip </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7260201858386414378?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - Melissa Murdick"> ♬ original sound - Melissa Murdick </a></blockquote></div> "This spot right here is such an underrated contour spot," celebrity makeup artist <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsmakeupbymelissam" rel="nofollow"> @itsmakeupbymelissam </a> said, as she applied contour to her cheek. "This is what I do on a lot of my clients because I hate that full stripe." We've either all seen it, or all have done it, where we make that line along our cheek to contour. Melissa said that it can look very unnatural, and I agree, especially when it's a harsh line that hasn't been blended out. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> "So instead, I like to hit the hollow, right in the center of the cheek and blend out," she said. Melissa used Kiko Milano's Sculpting Touch Stick in shade chocolate to demonstrate where to <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/applying-different-contour-products" rel="nofollow"> place the contour </a> . With a <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/ombre-concealer-look" rel="nofollow"> small concealer </a> brush from Rare Beauty, she began to blend the product. "I can place the dark color right in the center, and then blend gently out from there," she said. "Both up and in a little bit to diffuse that contour." I was amazed at how well this hack worked because it worked to give her a natural and soft contoured look that didn't look harsh or exaggerated. To blend it even more, Melissa used her <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/foundation-nose-hack" rel="nofollow"> foundation brush </a> that had a little bit of product on it. She also said that this contour space works well for those with a <a href="https://bellatory.com/hair/httphubpagescomhubFind-The-Most-Flattering-Haircut-and-Style-for-Your-Face" rel="nofollow"> round and heart shaped face </a> . She said she's done this technique on people of Asian descent who tend to have a flat appearance. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> This <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/brush-cut-contour" rel="nofollow"> contour hack </a> is totally a game changer because it's way easier to blend a circle out then it is to get that contour line to look natural.
