TikTok’s Dot Contouring Filter Has Changed My Makeup Routine for the Better

Once you’ve applied everything to your face like the filter demonstrates, it’s time to blend. I used a stippling brush, but a damp beauty sponge could also work. In my opinion, the most difficult part about using this filter to do your makeup is deciding what product to blend out first. I started in the center of my face with the concealer and then moved onto the bronzer at the perimeter of my face. Finally, I finished with the blush. 

I recommend reaching for cream or liquid products that don’t dry down immediately because you’re going to need some time to blend everything out. If you don’t know what to blend first, start with the center of your face and move outwards. This blends everything together seamlessly while keeping the center of your face bright. 

Since discovering this dot contouring filter, it’s been my go-to for makeup when I’m not wearing foundation. However, I’ve also tested it out with foundation, and the results look good — I just prefer how fresh and glowy it is without it. Unlike other TikTok makeup-application filters I’ve tried, this one has changed my makeup routine for the better.
