The tricky part about using this filter to do your makeup is the blending and more specifically, what to blend first. I started at the perimeter of my face with the contour and moved inward. I used one brush for all of the blending, but in hindsight, it may be beneficial to use a makeup sponge or to have another, smaller blending brush to blend the under-eyes and nose contour


After trying this filter, I can say it totally changed the way I do my makeup. I struggle with contouring my nose, and this filter mapped out the perfect contour and concealer placement for it. However, my issue with this filter is that it looks the same on everyone. When you contour, it’s very important to take your unique facial shape and features into account, and this filter does not.

The revenge filter’s cheek contour is very reminiscent of the viral supermodel contour hack, and while I love how it looks on others, I don’t think it’s the most flattering choice for my face shape. 

While I don’t see myself using this filter daily, the nose contour is a permanent part of my daily makeup routine. My advice is to try this filter and replicate the elements that work for you. If I’m dressing for revenge, I’ll stick with TikTok’s dot contouring filter for most of my face, but I’ll definitely have this filter to thank for my sculpted nose contour.
