Not too long ago a famous Instagram user, HudaBeauty, uploaded a video of her using tape to cream contour. Supposedly, the tape is used to help place your contour to make it more symmetrical.
Ok, now that my head is finally out of the palm of my hands and my eyes are tired of rolling, let's chit chat about this.
I get that contouring can be tricky and I know it can be hard to get your contour even but I just don't see why this would be a good idea. I love HudaBeauty, don't get me wrong, she's great with makeup. ..However, I think this is a little gimmicky.
I'm sure the tape pulls off foundation and messes up your base. It sure would suck to lift up a $45 foundation and lose coverage. It just seems like too much work for the same look without tape. I do, however, think this may be handy for nose contouring. Sometimes it can be hard to get those lines symmetrical and I'm sure most people don't need much coverage on their nose.
Personally I'm not going to try this. It would be a nightmare to lift the tape just to reveal irritated acne. 😖 I feel like it would take forever to get the tape just right. And I'm sure the bill for tape would dramatically increase, haha. Surely it's just a silly trend that will pass soon but still, I'm sure the beauty community can come up with a better hack... Like, I don't know, baking!
If you do try this let me know how it works out! Maybe it does work, who knows. I'm sure those of you with decent skin might enjoy testing it out.
Reminder: this is a bad idea if you have allergies to any kind of adhesives, etc.
