The contouring beauty trend is still showing no sign of slowing down. We've had boob sculpting, neck slimming and now the full body contour.

Posted on Instagram, the video below shows makeup artist Jose Martinez applying cream bronzer and highlighter to a model's face, neck, shoulders, cleavage and stomach.

The result? Instant definition.

But maybe not one to try if you're going anywhere near water, or clothes, or people with normal fields of vision.

When Contouring Goes Right (And Wrong)

Xtina's bronzer-blush competes with her faux glow and platinum curls. While her highlighting powder appears to be in all the right places (above the brows and cheeks, on the cupid's bow and chin), it fails to bring light back into her face because of excessive contouring. Getty Images

To brighten up a fair complexion like Sandra's, use a peachy bronzer-blush combination to brighten cheekbones. Highlighter is also key to soften up a square jawline. Getty Images

Harsh contour lines drawn down her cheekbones instead of along the midpoint, make Kim appear unnatural. Getty Images

For women with darker skin tones, the supermodel's use of highlight powder on the T-zone and deep shadows along the hairline, sides of the nose and underneath the cheekbones is a perfect example of spot-on contouring. Getty Images

Lindsay painted bronzer onto her face as if it were war paint. A softer shade brushed gently along her cheeks and jawline (plus, subtler, smokey eye makeup) would've made a HUGE difference. Getty Images

Dawson's facial features standout even more thanks to a contour powder that isn't extremely darker than her olive tone complexion. Getty Images
