Not to say that contouring is new to me. Matter of fact, I do my best to chisel down my cheeks and forehead with a little matte bronzer on the daily. But despite the numerous YouTube videos instructing to contour the jawline, I never really liked the idea. I mean, BRONZER, on the JAWLINE?? That is just asking for your face to look way darker than your neck, an huge makeup no-no by like, everyone in the universe. Clearly, I had the wrong idea. So, just like Miley, I applied some Hoola Bronzer on that stretch of skin right under the mouth and around the chin, and voila! Was it really that simple all that time? I think the key is avoiding the outer corners of the jawbone (unless your contouring-product-of-choice is very similar to your skin tone, or minimally orange-toned), and blending down your neck just a little.

But back to Hoola. This is like the perfect inbetween of a contour shade (ideally a grey toned, matte bronzer) and a bronzer shade (a slightly orange or red toned brown shade, sometimes with shimmer or sparkles– I typically avoid the latter). It’s matte, and the depth of the shade makes me look a ‘healthier’ shade of very fair while defining the shape of my face. All that without looking streaky and orange? I’ll take it!
