Makeup can help to emphasize natural beauty and make expressive accents. The right contouring techniques can even visually change the shape of the face and hide certain imperfections.

The so-called "triangle method" is gaining popularity online. You will need concealer, blush, and highlighter.

The point of quality makeup is primarily in its simplicity. Few people have the opportunity to spend hours in front of the mirror to create a professional makeup. With just three products - concealer, blush, and highlighter - you can emphasize your cheekbones and visually rejuvenate your face.

  1. Start with the contour line in the hollow of the cheek.
  2. Next, apply blush, but instead of spreading it parallel to the contour, create a conditional side of the triangle by turning the line at an angle to the temple.
  3. The most controversial part of this life hack is the next step, when the highlighter is blended to fill the triangle between the contour and the blush.

It doesn't matter if you place the concealer in dots or lines, as long as it's between the other two products. There is no need to blend the three lines. Just use a fluffy brush to blend them out and you'll have amazingly sculpted and radiant cheeks.

How to make perfect face contouring: the triangle method

Even if you don't manage to create a perfect triangular shape, don't be discouraged. After all, makeup is a field for self-expression. You won't make a mistake if you place the highlighter between the blush and the contour. According to experienced makeup artist Erica Taylor, this arrangement has a unique advantage over more traditional contouring methods.

This method creates a lifting effect, visually tightening the face. By applying the highlighter directly to the cheekbone in between other products, you brighten the high point of the face and emphasize the contour in general.

In general, the gold standard for contouring is to start with the hollow of the cheek, apply blush, and then finish with a highlighter, applying it closer to the eyes. However, after experimenting with the "triangle method" you will be able to evaluate the difference and choose the technique that best suits your face type.
