As the technique suggests, contouring will help you add dimension to your face and we are all blessed with a different face shape. This one thing will make you question all the contouring guides available online. While some contouring tutorials are specifically curated as per face types, others are universal methods that work well for all face types.

One such technique is rainbow contouring. What is it, why is it going viral and how can you do it? Here is a quick guide for you. Read on.

What Is Rainbow Contouring?

Rainbow contouring involves swiping stripes of your blush, bronzer, and concealer, all together on your face. The technique is much easier than traditional contouring because you don't have to be perfect with your lines while you draw them on your cheekbones, forehead, or chin.

Once the stripes are in place, you just blend in the products and you have your perfectly contoured face. If those hard contour lines bother you, this is the technique you should try. Rainbow contour gives your face a more natural, defined face.

How To Do Rainbow Contouring?

You Will Need -

• Blush (5 best blushes)
• Bronzer
• Concealer

Directions -

• Begin with swiping the blush along with your cheeks.
• Underneath the blush, apply your bronzer.
• Next, apply concealer below your bronzer.
• On your forehead, apply your blush in the shape of a rainbow and then follow with a bronzer.
• Apply 2 vertical lines - bronzer and concealer on the chin.
• Spritz some setting spray and then using a damp sponge or blender, start blending in the products.

It might look like a struggle to blend in all the products but your setting spray and damp blender will do the magic and it won't really take that long even if you are new to makeup. Make sure you gently dab in the product rather than moving the blender in a circular motion.

If you want more coverage, follow the technique over your foundation. Finish off your makeup with a nude lipstick, mascara, and a thick wing liner and you are good to go for any event.
