Ariana Grande has set the Internet ablaze with her recent looks — from bleaching her brows temporarily to modelling her natural-looking curls on Instagram, the 29-year-old singer is showcasing unending versatility in her approach to beauty. Gone are the days we’d associate the God Is A Woman singer with a sky-skimming ponytail punctuated by ribbons and cat-shaped headbands. This is a new era for Grande, and nothing is off-limits.
The founder of r.e.m. beauty was recently seen wearing contour on an unconventional part of her face, and it made us wonder…why have we never thought of doing that? This aesthetic doesn’t require you to know anything about contouring — and it looks stunning. Here’s what you need to know about the technique, and how to recreate it yourself. Trust us — it won’t take more than 30 seconds.
Ariana Grande Contours This Part Of Her Nose…
Okay — What’s The Big Deal About Ari’s Contouring?
Grande doesn’t just dust some of the product over the sides of her nose. Nope. She sweeps some horizontally across the tip of her nose — the same way you dab some blush over it to achieve a sunburnt, rose-tinted aesthetic. All you have to do is draw a line (horizontal) just before the tip of the nose, and blend. That’s how simple it is. Notice how she has also contoured the jawline, temples, and cheekbones to further play into the sculpted end result. You can recreate this chiselled look with a cool-toned bronzer.
This technique is perfect for those who find contouring difficult. Because all it requires is dabbing some product on the tip of the nose. But why contour at all? Know how applying foundation and concealer endows you with a smooth, crease-free base? It also robs your face of any dimension and depth. That’s where contouring comes in — the technique enhances bone structure, creates depth, and allows you to define and shape your features in the best way.
So — what’s the verdict? Are we contouring this part of our face?
