I get called a catfish for contouring my fat chin – trolls tell me to lose weight but makeup makes it disappear anyway
WE ALL enjoy experimenting with different make-up looks but one woman has been slammed for taking it too far.
Jasmine, from the US, regularly shared her make-up looks on social media but trolls have said she’s a ‘catfish.’
The term catfish refers to someone who pretends on social media to be someone different, in order to trick or attract other people – and some believe women can catfish people with the use of make-up, including Jasmine.
In a recent clip, Jasmine hit back at haters who claimed she should go and work out instead of hiding her ‘fat’ chin with contour.
In the clip, she finished her look by using a contour stick on her chin and wrote ‘NO’ before blending it out.
After, the beauty pro looked directly into the camera to show how she hide her double chin with make-up, so there was no need to work out anyway.
Another troll commented: “It’s not fat shaming it’s facts, if you go on a diet and work out you will lose fat therefore you will look better.”
But Jasmine wasn’t going to listen to some anonymous hater online.
She replied: ” I said I was fat, not ugly.”
The woman seemed completely unfazed by the hate, replying ‘yep’ to those who called her a catfish.
It seemed many of the people leaving negative comments came form men, while her female fan base loved Jasmine’s transformations which show just how much difference good make-up techniques can make.
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @wildflower.jasmine with over 13 million views and over 1.1 million likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts of her transformation in the comments and were seriously divided.
One person wrote: “Catfish max level.”
Another commented: “You’re gorgeous. Don’t listen to them.”
“You’re beautiful just the way you are don’t listen to all these insecure people on the internet,” penned a third.
What is contouring?
Contouring is a makeup technique used to define and enhance the natural structure of the face by using makeup products that are slightly darker and lighter than your skin tone. The goal is to create the illusion of depth and dimension, giving your face a more sculpted appearance.
Step 1: Highlighting
Purpose: To bring forward the areas of your face that you want to emphasize.
Choose a Highlighter: Select a concealer, foundation, or highlighter that is 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone.
Apply to Key Areas: Apply the highlighter to the high points of your face where light naturally hits. These areas typically include:
The centre of your forehead, The bridge of your nose, Under your eyes, in a triangular shape, The tops of your cheekbones, The centre of your chin, The brow bone area.
Blend: Use a damp beauty sponge, brush, or your fingers to blend the highlighter into your skin for a seamless look.
Step 2: Contouring
Purpose: To create shadows and add depth to areas of the face you want to appear more defined.
Choose a Contour Shade: Select a contour product, cream, stick, or powder, that is 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
Apply to Key Areas: Apply the contour product to areas where shadows naturally occur. These areas typically include:
The hollows of your cheeks, just under your cheekbones, Along your hairline and temples, The sides of your nose, if you want to slim it, Along your jawline.
Blend: Blend the contour lines well using a beauty sponge, brush, or your fingers. Make sure there are no harsh lines and everything looks natural.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Or just like leave her alone and let her do what she wants.”
“That’s crazy,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Some people are just mean you’re beautiful just the way you are.”
