Lately, I can’t keep up with the number of makeup trends online. Each new hack seems more absurd than the last.

HOWEVER, there is one that I tried and have started to incorporate into my daily routine. And yes this one looks RIDICULOUS when you start. It’s called CONTOUR MAPPING and it’s really just a quicker way of putting makeup on. As someone who wakes up for work at 2:30a, putting in extra effort in appearances doesn’t seem all that important at that hour. But this hack does seem to save some time.

The premise is instead of putting different makeup steps on one at a time, you do everything all at once and THEN blend. Your face will resemble a laughable paint-by-numbers sketch before you blend. I always hope my husband won’t walk in on me before the blending step. I’m afraid of his shock and concern over seeing lines and colors dotted all over my face.

But somehow it looks great when you blend it with one of those sponge blenders. Give it a shot (perhaps when you’re alone)!
