3 finger face lifting contour rule is the easiest and fastest makeup application hack.
The perfect "lazy girl" makeup hack for those who don't have time to do the makeup or simply doesn't know the proper placement of the contour, blush and highlighter.
Simply place your three fingers diagonally upwards, placing the the ring finger on the cheekbone and the pointing finger on the temple.
Pro tip - make sure to keep finger tips on the same line / slightly behind the outer eye corner. The further you'll place your finger tips, the further will be the placement of the contour.
Keeping fingers placed diagonally up will give the face lift effect. Keeping fingers straight will give more rounded, fuller face effect.
Simply dot cream contour in front of your ring finger.
Repeat the same process with the choice of your favourite cream / liquid blush. Simply dot liquid blush next to your middle finger.
Follow the pattern of the makeup placement and add a dot of your favourite cream / liquid highlighter next to the pointing finger.
This should take you 3 seconds to complete.
Now for the blending, we highly recommend choosing Flat Head foundation brush, as it's perfect fro blending liquid / cream makeup to the flawless perfection.
Start by blending contour shade diagonally up. Starting from the point of the contour placement and finishing at the hair line. Try to keep the makeup placement and blend only upwards. Do not mix / blend all the makeup products at once at this point.
Next step is to blend the blush. Using the same makeup brush you used to blend the contour shade, blend the blush in a tapping motion, without mixing with other makeup products that we just applied. Aim to blend diagonally up for that face lift effect.
Now for the highlighter, you can use the same brush (the ultimate "lazy girl" hack) or you can switch to new clean brush this time. Once again - aim to blend in a tapping motion, diagonally up for that face lift effect.
Lastly, to prevent any harsh lines - using flat head makeup brush in a tapping motion blend all products. Simply gently tap with makeup brush on the top of the contour, blush, highlighter that was just applied for that softer, more natural look, or leave it the way it is for more snatched, face lift like look.
