Brilio.net - Facial contouring is a makeup technique used to emphasize and shape the structure of the face using makeup products. This technique involves using dark contour products, and light highlighters to create the illusion of depth and dimension on the face.
Dark contour products are typically applied to areas you want to conceal or minimize, such as along the jawline, under the cheeks, and the sides of the nose, while highlighters are applied to areas you want to highlight, such as the cheekbones, forehead, and under the eyes.
In addition to making the face more defined, facial contouring can also provide a more youthful effect and a firmer face. Not without reason, because this technique utilizes the play of light and shadow to create the illusion of a slimmer and more lifted face shape.
Even so, it turns out that to make the face look younger and firmer is not only obtained using contour. Because the owner of the TikTok account @glowrieda, has a special makeup technique to make the face look younger and firmer, without using contour.

"WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF USING CONTOUR, which is QUITE TIME-CONSUMING, you can also use this technique to give the impression of FIRM SKIN and a YOUNGER-looking face," wrote the account owner in the video caption, which briliobeauty.net quoted from the TikTok account @glowrieda, Thursday (22/8).
The trick is quite easy, apply as many as 2 dots of concealer in the under eye area. Then, blend upwards using a beauty blender or brush. After that, apply blush on right on the high cheekbones. Blend back upwards to give a lifting effect.

Not only that, take loose powder and apply it to the area under the eyes upwards. Then, you can draw a thin wing eyeliner to give a long eye effect. Finally, lock it using compact powder. Apply thinly using a makeup brush. This trick will make the face look tighter and younger, without using contour.

However, there are some things to note when doing this makeup technique. First, do not use too much concealer because it will cause lines under the eyes due to concealer creasing. Second, apply blush on the highest cheekbones, to give the impression of a slimmer face.
Next, apply highlighter on the cupid of the nose and cheekbones, not only highlighting the bone structure but also making the skin look tight. Finally, apply eyeliner with a wing liner type to give the impression of a more raised eye.
