All About The Viral Contour Hack
This contouring technique was introduced to the internet by TikToker and makeup theorist Megan Lavallie. In her short video tutorial, she shows how a coin-sized dot placed in the hollow of the cheeks can be blended to sculpt your cheekbones perfectly. All this hack requires is good placement and a blending brush. The results are flattering for both your front and side profile. It also requires zero skill and can be used on any face shape.
How To Use The Hack
It is a simple two-step contour hack that anyone can perform. Just blend on your foundation and concealer and then get right to it.
Step 1: On The Spot
Begin by sucking in your cheeks to identify the hollow of your cheeks. You can then mark the hollow with a dot of your contour product. Let your cheeks rest and begin to make the dots bigger. The dots should be the size of a tiny coin and should be on both sides of your face.
Step 2: Soft & Sculpted
Now that you have the contour product in place, pull out a blending brush. You can use a rounded blending brush for best results. Begin by softly blending the dots in the hollow of your cheeks and then guide the contour upwards and outwards, toward your ears. Behold the sculpted effect it bestows.
Which Contour Products Work Best For This Hack?
To perform this contour hack, it is best to use a cream or liquid contour product. Powder contour products can work well too but you will have to be slightly careful when placing the dots as you may encounter product fall out. Contour sticks, palettes, pencils, or liquids are your best bet for that gorgeous sculpted effect.
