30 New Ways to Contour That You’ve Literally Never Heard Of
Contouring has officially gone off the deep end. And then some. What started as a makeup artist trade secret has turned into an Internet phenomenon that’s morphed into full ridiculousness over the past year. We’ve seen everything from tontouring with self tanner, circus-status clown contouring, henna contouring, and now nontouring, AKA just-woke-up-like-this striping. Which means…what, exactly? Low maintenance contouring? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
This makeup move, which has blown up thanks to a certain famous family, has drifted from faces — to necks — to arms and legs — to cleavage — to feet and now even, to butts. Yes, you read that right, people are actually trying to sculpt and highlight their rear ends. 2016, people. Here at Teen Vogue we’ve had enough of endlessly covering the latest "trend" in shading and highlighting, so we took matters into our own hands and invented all of the clever contouring puns you could possibly think of, so we’ll always be one step ahead of the game. If you can’t get rid of it, you might as well make it your own, right? Introducing Teen Vogue’s guide to the only contour trends you need to know.
