Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, you'll have probably realised by now that we're obsessed with all things Love Island. From Faye's ICONIC brown lipstick to the £20 blowdry potion Millie and Liberty both rave about- we can't get enough of the Islander's beauty tips, tricks and product recommendations.
And in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it getting ready moment from last night's show, we noticed nearly every single Love Island girl contouring like a pro. It was an explosion of cream bronzer and we won't lie - it made us want to rummage through our beauty bags and start sculpting like it's 2018 again.
So, if you've been admiring the cheekbones and razor-sharp jawlines of this series, you might want to rediscover the world of contouring again. Need a refresher course? Keep scrolling for your ultimate contouring guide below…
How to contour like a Love Islander…
1) First of all, you want to make sure you're selecting the right shade of cream bronzer. Ideally you want one or two shades darker than your skin tone - and a formula without glitter or highlight. (For our favourites, keep scrolling to shop.)
2) For sculpted cheekbones, draw a line (or series of dots) from the hairline (near the top of the ear) down towards the outer corner of your mouth. Stop when you get half way there - which should line up towards the middle of your eye. Do the same on the other side so that it looks symmetrical and blend, blend, blend.
3) To add definition to the forehead, use your contour product to shade along the hairline - from the temple and over your forehead until you reach the other temple. Make sure you blend the product well into your hairline to avoid any stripes.
4) For the jawline, sweep your contour product under your jaw, stopping about 2cm before you get to the chin. Blend the product along your jaw and down your neck for a natural shaded effect.
5) Want to contour your nose? Draw two narrow lines (it's easiest to use a fluffy eyeshadow brush for this) down each side of your nose and blend.
You can blend either as you go along or do as the Love Island girls do and wait until you have a full face of stripes - before blending and buffing into place with a brush or damp beautyblender.
