I had mixed feelings: I liked the results — but I can't say I'd rush to do it again...
"I call this the lightbulb," the singer explained in the video. "We darken that so that it doesn't light up, like 'look at this chin!'"
I always make sure to bring my makeup below my jawline so I don't have any demarcation lines, BUT never have I put this much makeup on my neck. It felt weird, TBH!
From there I take my cream bronzer and lightly carve out my cheekbones. The only reason I use bronzer on my forehead is none other than to add some warmth there. I never contour my nose or my jawline. I blend everything as I apply each product, and lastly, I add my blush and highlighter.
It felt a little weird to do the reverse and apply my brightening and contour products first. Following J.Lo's routine, I specifically felt like I was applying SO much bronzer, and I honestly hated putting that much product on my jawline and neck. Yes, my jaw and neck did appear more sculpted and snatched when they were contoured this way, but in my opinion, it still wasn't worth drawing on all that bronzer.
The end result didn't look like I had on as much makeup as I really did. I noticed the main difference with my cheekbone contouring. My cheeks look more sculpted compared to when I usually contour, and I think that's because I had a heavier hand when following J.Lo's routine.
I think I'll take a few pointers from J.Lo — such as not being afraid to go dark with my contour — but I don't think I'll follow this underpainting technique again because it just felt like a lot more work and too much makeup for my liking.
