Ariel called it first, forks belong in our beauty bags. Don’t buy it? Head on over to TikTok to have your mind swiftly changed because the kids are contouring and highlighting with this kitchen utensil and it looks damn good.
While it’s not the first time TikTok have introduced us to a weird yet wonderful beauty hack (we’re still removing our nail polish with tampons), it’s certainly one of the most impressive.
So, how exactly does fork contouring work?
Instead of attempting a sharp contour line by hand, consider the gaps within the head of your fork as a stencil. Starting with your nose, use the middle gap to highlight and the outer two lines to contour.
@rikkisandhuu Nose contouring using a FORK? This is one of the weirdest trends I have ever tried! 😂💜✨ #contourtutorial #makeuptrend #beautysecrets #foryou ♬ original sound – Tik Toker
Oh, but that’s not even scratching the surface of what your fork is capable of doing. Gillian Grace (@gillianxgrace) demonstrated how to complete an entire look – contour, highlight and blush – using her fork to guide her strategically placed criss-cross markings.
And while it initially looks like a complete and total mess, the second Gillian gets out her damp makeup sponge and starts melting the product into her skin, you’ll be amazed. Don’t believe us? Just watch.
@gillianxgrace Replying to @bti_04 Oh this was a JOURNEY! What should we use to contour with next?! #makeup #makeuptutorial #makeuplook #blending #contour ♬ Sweater Weather (Sped Up) – The Neighbourhood

What do you think about this fork contouring trend? Will you give it a try?
Bubble wrap and fork contouring! Really. Some people have too much time on their hands!
I wouldn’t myself however I would totally let someone try it on me. 😁
only if I trusted them to be careful
Seems a bit dangerous. Not for me.
More social media silliness, lol
Yeah it can get a bit over the top
Omg the 2nd video 🙈. I won’t be doing this. Don’t think it’s necessary.
Never heard of this before
It looks funny,but I don’t do contouring .
Yikes. No.
Forking ridiculous! I’d like to challenge her to use some of the attachments on a Swiss army knife – I could use the laugh.
😆 lol
Hehehe, yes I’d love to see that 😀
That sounds dangerous! But I’m sure they would do it.
Not sure I would or could manage it.
Me either – I’ll be sticking to my simple skin02 contour & highlight pen thing and my clinique chubby one too.
What is that? Sounds fancy!
We just do what we know
A fork? Hm, couldn’t you just draw the lines without the fork?
Why is my comment above awaiting for moderation again??
Some of my comments from a week ago are still awaiting for moderation! Argh! Including a new forum thread. So frustrating!
So I said above.
A fork, hm, couldn’t you just d raw the lines without the fork?
Still awaiting moderation from the 26 Oct.
Is anyone reviewing the comments?
I would be sterilising before using a kitchen utensil.
Can you imagine your make up person approaching your face with a fork! I’d want to check their name wasn’t Hannibal!
hahahaha…good one
worse if they had a knife and fork
Good one @JuJu47 😀
Haha!
That would be quite scary!
HAHA, I feel like Ill pass on this idea.
me too
Me too.
I love your reaction.
It’s a no from me!
I prefer not wearing makeup like this. This is just for social media, something to do.
Whatever next!
It is just to get the clicks!
sounds interesting but not for me
Yeah no thanks
Umm ….. o-kay 😀
Clever gimmick but probably not something I’d try.
This is different??
No I won’t be doing this.
Tik Tok holds no appeal for me whatever – this is just ridiculous in my opinion and just one of the many reasons I ignore Tik Tok.
I have avoided for these things as well.
Why would you?
I’m not liking the way she did her freckles – I love a good freckle smattering but not keen on her attempt!
Not for me, who thinks up these ideas?
Someone who has too much time on their hands.
