I'm 47 and have tried Victoria Beckham's contour trick, it helps with a 'jelly roll'
A MAKEUP enthusiast has tried a contouring trick made popular by Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham.
She said it helped with a tricky facial feature and left her looking groomed but soft after the cosmetic hack.

Professional makeup artist Erica Taylor (@ericataylor2347) has been in the industry for over 25 years and looks younger than ever.
The 47-year-old has seen several trends come and go throughout her career and offers anti-aging beauty advice.
Inspired by Victoria Beckham, she recently tried out a new contouring process that aims to “bring out the face,” and shared play-by-play on TikTok.
Erica first drew two medium-sized X's on either side of her temples.
She used an affordable product, the LA Colors. Contour stick, $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
She then drew a solid line a little further down, under her cheekbone on either side of her face, making her look “a little torn away.”
Erica followed that by drawing two equidistant lines on the bridge of her nose and a small line at the bottom.
What 'sold her' was Victoria's technique of also drawing on the outside of her nose.

The technique helped conceal her “fat pad” around the area resulting from “adulting.”
She then drew lines right under her jaw for a slimming effect.
Erica also thought Victoria's method of contouring under the eyes and then in the crease of her eyelid was “genius” because it helps with puffiness.
Using a brush, she blended her forehead, cheeks and jaw to create shadows and let her face 'go in', 'bringing it all together'.
She ditched the brush and blended the area around her nose and eyes with her fingers, creating a “slimmer bridge.”

Contouring under her eyes helped alleviate the “little jelly roll situation” that made her look puffy, and contouring the eyelid enhanced the natural shape and lifted it.
Erica said it gave a “sculpted yet soft” look without harsh lines.
She admitted she can't wait to try the Sandstone color from Victoria Beckham's Contour Stylus collection, $38.
Viewers were impressed by the beauty tip and made it known.
“Now we're blending like Beckham,” one person commented.
“I have no idea how these celebrities did it, but her brand is absolutely amazing and so is Lady Gaga's. Literally blown away,” one woman chimed in.
“Omg, when you put it around the eye it instantly made you look younger and deprived!” another wrote.
“The nose trick looks really great,” said one TikTok user.
