Textures and shades that melt into skin do the hard work for you, and the rule of thumb is to strategically place product only where you need it – an overly-chiselled jaw or total nose reshape really isn’t for everyone. Think building up colour and definition with a brush and contouring stick over directly drawing on thick lines and tailoring your makeup for natural light, rather than an Instagram square. “The key to approaching contouring in a fresh and modern way is to be as light handed as you can, both in terms of your choice and use of products,” says makeup artist and brand founder Ruby Hammer. Skin texture and freckles are all part of the vibe, healthy looking colour is the order of the day, and the likes of contouring sticks ensure straightforward, on-the-go blending. 2022’s take celebrates what’s already there (rather than simply painting on what’s not), with an emphasis on highlighting your natural facial features and soft, easy, subtle sculpting.
Thankfully, modern contouring has moved on from the 50-step Kardashian routines of years gone by. I don’t love the connotations, either conventional contouring tends to focus on slimming features to an unrealistic degree, with the end result coming off unnatural, not to mention tricky to achieve for the time-poor among us (*me). The very word may make you shudder, conjuring up images of heavy, ‘paint by numbers’ techniques, badly-blended bronzer and tinman highlighter.
