Hi everyone!
So I'm in the middle of writing an article about contouring (I'm a beauty blogger but also a journalism student, so this is for a class.)
I decided to write it after I saw an Instagram tutorial about contouring the back of your neck and immediately though "okay, this is going too far." Recently, I also saw one about contouring your legs and was a) horrified at the massive waste of product it seems to be and B) so surprised to think that people might actually consider doing this on a daily basis.
I really want to get the advice of other beauty bloggers / makeup addicts about what you think of contouring and whether or not you think it has gone too far. And if you do think it has gone too far, what might the potential consequences of this be? Are we spreading a bad message to young girls who might now think they can't leave the house without contouring their face, neck, and legs?
Open to any and all opinions on this matter, and it's one I'm genuinely interested in. I personally am still trying to figure out where I stand on the matter... I am 100% of the opinion that if makeup makes you happy and you like experimenting with makeup, then why the hell not? If this means contouring your face every day, then so be it! But the more I think about it, the more my eyes are being opened to the potential consequences of this mindset..
Anyways, please share away! Would love to get in a discussion about this /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> xo :wub:
