I tried the viral fake tan contour hack but it was a total fail…I look like I have a beard & don’t start on my hairline
A WOMAN has revealed that she tried the viral fake tan contour hack to get a snatched face, but unfortunately for her, it was a total fail.
If you haven’t heard of the hack, it involves using a few pumps of a foam tanner on a fluffy makeup brush to contour the face.
You simply apply the product on your cheekbones, nose, hairline and jawline and use a round brush to blend it in.
Then, you should let the fake tan develop overnight and wash it off in the morning.
Chessie King Carter, an influencer, decided to give the popular method a try, but things didn’t go quite as she planned.
When she woke up the morning after, Chessie was stunned at her face, so much so that she took to social media to show off the fail.
Posting online, Chessie shared her clip with the caption ‘fake tan contouring ART, it’s the hairline rim for me.
As she showed off her extremely dark face, she said: “You heard it here first, I’m officially banning myself from watching TikTok tutorials.
“I have a beard. I have a brown beard, a very white chest, a very uncontoured face and a gorgeous hairline.”
Then after trying to wash it off, Chessie continued: “So what it’s done is the opposite to contouring, it’s actually made my face and my facial features, especially my nose, look even bigger.”
Chessie’s TikTok clip, which has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 229,300 views.
Social media users were left in hysterics at Chessie’s clip and many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “The realism. I’m here for it. Thanks for the honesty.”
Another added: “I appreciate you sharing this, I really do.”
A third commented: “I was thinking of trying this. No more. Thank you for your service.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “Hot a date tomorrow and was just about to try it. I won’t now, thank you.”
At the same time, many beauty fans were quick to share how to correctly do the hack.
One woman explained: “Blend it out and then put some tinted moisturiser or foundation on top and it’ll look flawless!!”
Whilst another user posted: “I do it sometimes and it always turns out great. Maybe use one that isn‘t too dark, use a wet brush and blend blend blend.”
