Heres the verdict.

Chanel does note that vertical contouring is best when used for big events or photoshoots.
As mentioned, shade choice is key, says Chanel.
Overall, subtly and blending are your best friends here.
As Chanel says, vertical contour uses aspects of theater makeup to change your perceived face shape.
I prepared my face with my typical skin care routine (which includes sunscreen, of course).
I started by finding where my cheek hollows out and drawing downward.
Comparative to traditional contour, the vertical hack does create more of a shadow effect.
By contouring vertically, my cheekbones looked more lifted and my jaw structure appeared stronger.
Like Chanel said, unless its a major event or a photoshoot, its probably not worth the effort.
Still its nice to know that there are always fun ways to play around with makeup.
