It looks like contouring isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. In the beauty realm, the term is used to describe the makeup methods that define, sculpt, and, at times, even serve to alter our features. You can brush some bronzer along your cheeks to make them appear more taut, shade in your nose to make it look slimmer, line your lips to create a fuller pout, and now, you can even contour your hair to sculpt your face shape.
Hair contouring, a trend launched by UK-based hairstylist Marc Trinder, is a tailor-made approach that uses detailed highlighting and lowlighting to enhance the face shape. The bespoke method is personalized according to a person’s specific face shape and the features they would like to sculpt or accentuate.
Take the example of social media influencer Yalda Golsharifi; the brunette beauty has a diamond face shape, which means that her face tapers towards her chin. By keeping her roots dark and meticulously placing warm rose gold highlights down her lengths, her tresses help create the illusion that the bottom half of her face is softer and makes the elongated face shape appear more oval.
If you still haven’t gotten the hang of the popular face-sculpting trend, you can try your hand at hair coloring to get killer cheekbones without any makeup.
