People are using clown makeup as a contouring method
If you thought that wrapping your head around normal contouring was tricky, just wait until you see was this beauty blogger is up to.
BellaDeLune is responsible for introducing the concept of ‘clown contouring’ to the world of beauty. With bonus use of emojis.
She explains in her YouTube video that clown contouring became her way of fighting back against the people who were bullying her online.
“I cannot tell you how many times I have been called a clown and many other names and been hated on,” she explains in the video.
“I just did this to show you what a real payasa looks like.” Payasa is the Spanish word for clown.
Bella describes the technique as an extreme form of colour correction and contouring, and although it started as a joke, people quickly caught up with the trend.
Over the past week Instagram has been taken over with countless selfies displaying the incrediblely detailed clown-like contouring tricks.
While the before pictures look pretty out there and the colours are quite intense, the results are actually amazing.
Who knew a sugar skull could help your brows pop so much? It seems like a joke, but the fact is that people are ending up with amazing make up results after all that blending.
In her video, Bella says that she wouldn’t do this kind of dramatic make-up every day, but she does see how much fun it can be.
We’re kind of tempted to try it out, we just need some free time and a pretty big contouring palette. Take a look at the original video (that has almost 1.5 million views in less than a month) to see why this technique is taking over the internet.
