Henna contouring is the weird younger sister of clown contouring, blending extreme colors to correct, highlight, and contour the face. Surprisingly, it works…if you are a professional makeup artist with top-of-the-line products and years of experience. For the rest of us, it’s just painful. And now the henna contour is becoming popular, serving as another reminder of our totally inadequate makeup skills.
It was created by Pakistani makeup artist, Sahir Saleim. Using henna art as her inspiration she put her own twist on clown contouring. It yields absolutely gorgeous results on people with mad skill.
