How to Contour With Scissors
Get the Sharpest Cheekbone Contour of Your Life Using Scissors

Celebrity makeup artist Jose Martinez took to his Instagram account to demonstrate how he uses snippers to achieve cheekbones so sharp, they look like they could cut glass.

Trying this at home? We suggest sweeping all of your hair off your face, then using children's safety scissors as your defining tool. You don't want to risk giving yourself a new look — or worse, any injuries!
