Think contour is making you snatched but somehow you end up patchy or clowny? 😅
Here’s what you might be doing wrong — and how to fix it instantly!
💀 1. Contouring Too Low = Droopy Face
👉 Mistake: Applying contour below your cheekbones instead of right on top of the hollow.
✨ Fix: Smile slightly and brush just above the natural shadow line — it lifts your face instead of dragging it down!
🎨 2. Wrong Undertone = Muddy Mess
👉 Mistake: Using orange or warm bronzers as contour.
✨ Fix: Contour should be cool or neutral toned — it mimics natural shadow, not a tan.
🌸 3. Blush Too Close to the Nose
👉 Mistake: Applying blush on the apples and dragging it inward.
✨ Fix: Keep blush on upper cheeks and slightly outward — it gives a lifted, youthful effect.
🌅 4. Skipping Blend = Harsh Lines Alert
👉 Mistake: Leaving visible contour stripes.
✨ Fix: Use a damp beauty sponge or fluffy brush to melt contour & blush together. Seamless > streaky!
💖 5. Wrong Order = Patchy Finish
👉 Mistake: Applying blush before setting foundation.
✨ Fix: Always set base first, then add powder contour/blush — or use creams together before setting for a dewy finish.
💡 Pro Tip: For a natural look, try the “C-shape method” — sweep blush from cheekbone to temple and softly blend contour beneath it.
It gives that flushed yet sculpted red-carpet glow! ✨
