Neck Contouring: It is Really a Thing

I thought I had seen it all when it comes to makeup, but I was wrong! Today we will discuss the new trend of “neck contouring.” It is exactly what it sounds like, people are contouring their neck!

Why would they take the time to do this? To accent an updo, of course! When you have your hair up, the back of your neck is exposed, and contouring it accents the hairstyle by shadowing and highlighting the nape of your neck! Instagrammer “mwhairstyles” demonstrated this in one of her videos. Some people may think that contouring the back of your neck is total overkill and totally unnecessary, and I partially agree with them! I also think that makeup is art, and that people should be able to express them artistically through makeup. If they want to use their artistic abilities to make their neck look slimmer, more power to them! 😉 My worry would be…all of that makeup is going to rub off on my skirt! Yikes!

What are your thoughts on this new trend? Do you think it is a waste of time or will you try it out? Let me know in the comments below!

Contour Your Face in 5 Minutes

Contour Your Face in 5 Minutes

When I think about contouring my face, all I can think about how time consuming it is going to be. That is no longer the case with this brand spankin’ new contouring method that takes only 5 minutes! I’ll tell you all about it.

What you will need: a dark shadow for contouring and a highlighter for highlighting, and a tapered brush or a blusher brush.

The key: accentuate the places where shadows normally fall on your face. This place is below your cheekbones, and to accentuate this area use your brush to measure a straight line from your ear to the side of your mouth like you are sucking in your cheeks, then place the contour there.

The method: load up your brush with bronzer or whatever contouring makeup you are using, then brush the excess off on your hand and lightly bring the color along the line you traced on your cheek with your brush earlier. Bring the excess bronzer on the brush up to your temple and blend it to connect it with your hair line.

Next, highlight: Highlight the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, under your brow bone, and your cupids bow. Or, if you want to keep your look a little more natural, choose a few to highlight instead of all of them.

 

Wham bam, you are done! Just simple bronzer and highlighter can do the trick when it comes to a quick contour!

XOXO, Chels
