Anyone who loved drawing or colouring as a child (or adult) is sure to love this new beauty tip!
TikTokers are going crazy for the "cup contouring" technique as a means to obtain a flawless complexion and a perfectly contoured face.
This new method involves drawing circles – lots of circles – from the forehead to the chin, over the cheeks and the nose, then blending them in to obtain the ultimate finish.
It's often said that contouring is child's play, but we didn't think that TikTokers would take it literally.
As a result, the new method that's buzzing on the social network looks more like a kid's pastime than a revolutionary method borrowed from the hands of the greatest makeup artists.
Nevertheless, "cup contouring", or the "cup contour", is gaining quite a following on TikTok – so much so that some videos already have millions of views. Not bad, for a bit of colouring.

Given the number of posts on this new method, it's hard to pinpoint the exact origin of the trend.
But the user Serena Lakkiss remains, to this day, the one that has made it into a viral hit, with no less than 7.8 million views for her initial video, and nearly 700,000 for the final result – the technique having been shown in two stages.
And it has evidently led others to follow suit on the favourite social network of Millennials and Gen-Z.
But while you have to admit that the result doesn't exactly seem revolutionary, it is nonetheless quite nice – if not mesmerising – to watch.
To follow the process shown by Serena Lakkiss, all you need are contouring sticks – or, if you prefer, some sort of stamping tool designed to print circles after being covered in the product of your choice.
