15 Makeup Tips All Older Women Should Know

11. Contour in the Kitchen

Or at least get your contouring tool -a spoon, to be more specific- from your kitchen and get ready to sculpt like a pro! There are so many videos on YouTube demonstrating this trick. Some have even gone so far as to trying it with a chef’s knife, but for obvious reasons, we do not recommend that!

Apart from the fact that it’s utterly dangerous, a spoon provides a more natural result than a knife. Hold the spoon at an angle pointing slightly downward, so that the head of the spoon cups the apple of your cheek. Use the spoon as a shield and apply bronzer or contour underneath it. Use only what is already on the brush to keep blending until the product is diffused. Once you remove the spoon, blend out any residual harshness. Your cheekbones should look sharp enough to cut!
