A MAKEUP lover has attempted a contouring trick popularized by Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham.
She said that it helped with a troublesome facial feature and left her looking sculpted but soft after the cosmetics hack.
Professional makeup artist Erica Taylor (@ericataylor2347) has been in the industry for over 25 years and looks younger than ever.
The 47-year-old has seen different trends come and go throughout her career and provides anti-aging beauty advice.
Inspired by Victoria Beckham, she recently tried a new contouring process that is supposed to “bring the face in,” sharing the play-by-play on TikTok.
Erica first drew two medium-sized X’s on both sides of her temples.
She used an affordable product, the L.A Colors. Contour Stick, $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
She then drew a solid line a little more down, below her cheekbone on both sides of her face, and made her look “kind of snatched.”
Erica followed that up by drawing two equidistant lines on the bridge of her nose and one small one at the bottom.
What “sold” her was Victoria’s technique of drawing on the outsides of her nose as well.
The technique helped conceal her “fat pad” around the area that came from just “maturing.”
Next, she contoured lines right under her jaw for a slimming effect.
Erica also thought Victoria’s method of contouring under the eye and then in the eye crease on her lid was “genius” because it helps with puffiness.
Using a brush, she blended her forehead, cheeks, and jaw to produce shading and made her face “go in,” thus “bringing it all together.”
She ditched the brush and blended the area around her nose and eyes with her fingers, which gave her a “slimmer bridge.”
Contouring under her eyes helped alleviate the “little jelly roll situation” that made her look puffy, and contouring the lid enhanced the natural shape and lifted it.
Erica said it was giving a “sculpted but soft” look without any harsh lines.
She admitted that she can’t wait to try the shade Sandstone from Victoria Beckham’s Contour Stylus collection, $38.
Viewers were impressed by the beauty tip and made that known.
“Now we’re blending like Beckham,” one commented.
“I have no idea how these celebrities have done it but her brand is absolutely amazing and Lady Gaga’s is too. Literally blown away,” a woman chimed in.
“Omg, when you did it around the eye it immediately made you look younger and snatched!” another wrote.
“The nose trick actually looks awesome,” a TikTok user chimed in.
