Forget Contouring. Bye-Bye Baking. Chroming Is The Latest Make-Up Trend

All you need is lipstick (this is genius).

Chroming.

The beauty industry is buzzing. First, there was contouring and just when we had that perfected, baking came along.

We just managed that when stripe-ing became a thing and now there’s another technique to get on board with. Say hello to chroming.

Dominic Skinner, senior artist for MAC cosmetics, took to Instagram to show how to perfect the ‘chroming’ technique.

Cosmopolitan alerted us to the trend and it actually seems easy enough to manage.

Dominic used lipstick, MAC x Mariah Carey ‘All I Want’ FYI, to add a dewy touch of shimmer to eyelids, brow bones and cheekbones.

To be fair, this could be a game-changer because it means one product can double up as two, hence more value for money.

Another reason to love lipstick.
