A little crazy, but whoa, we are totally intrigued. Cue the heart-eye emojis!
What Is Cookie Cutter Contouring?
It turns out, the technique is exactly what the name implies. Using the cutest, most adorable cookie cutters to contour your face. Who knew you can get glam by raiding your baking supply drawer?! The real magic is when she blends it all in. It’s pretty mesmerizing…

Ready to give it a whirl? Below, Gillian tells BEAUTIFY how it’s done:
1. I like to squeeze and spread out the cream contour I am using on a makeup mixing palette and use a spatula to spread it out into a thin, even layer. This helps ensure each part of the cookie cutter is coated evenly with the product when you press it into the mixing palette.
2. Stamp the cookie cutters where you would normally apply your cream contour products.
3. Use light pressure while stamping and have a steady hand to avoid smudging the product.
4. I love to apply a hydrating makeup priming and/or setting spray all over my face prior to blending the Cookie Cutter Contouring. This adds hydration to the skin and your sponge/brush, making it easier to blend, especially if the products dry down.
5. My most important tip: HAVE FUN! Makeup artistry is all about expressing yourself, being creative and having fun. Happy Cookie Cutter Contouring, it’s so cute you might not want to blend it out.
