Contouring for many is God’s greatest gift. This makeup technique allowing us to highlight our best features and hide our worst has been around since the 1900s. From actresses like Audrey Hepburn to Marilyn Monroe who used contouring to shade and angle their faces for glamour shots its obvious that the use of contouring is no new technique. Today we are wowed by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and models like Joan Smalls for their beautifully contoured faces that we spend hours watching Farah Dhukai and Raye Boyce trying to achieve; it's all for the perfect look, whether that be a slimmer nose or thinner cheeks. Unfortunately we’ve gotten a little carried away with what is “contourable” and have gone to areas that we didn’t even know we could apply makeup to. Here is a list of entertaining but shocking body parts that in my opinion shouldn't be contoured.

1. Boobs

Unhappy with your cleavage but don’t want a boob job? The makeup gods got you covered, or do they? Apply a little makeup to your breasts and you’re good to go. But what happens if you spill something or your shirt? Will your freshly painted cleavage smear? Think twice before you try and impress your date because that’s worse than having something caught in your teeth.

2. Feet

Yes, this is really a thing. But do people really look at your feet long enough to notice that your toes are thinner or do they even see your feet? The only time your feet are every truly exposed without shoes are at the beach or pool parties even then isn’t your contour at risk of being smeared by water?

3. Neck

Neck contouring most definitely takes the cake. Majority of the time our necks are covered by our hair and not normally considered a problem area, but I digress.

4. Collar Bone

I don’t know about anyone else but I tend to sweat around my collarbone and chest. Imagine the embarrassment of having to wipe away not just sweat but your freshly painted contour. When did having more a defined collarbone make or break your look.

5. Abs

Talk about deception. Throw away your workout DVDs and cancel your soul cycle memberships you can now paint on abs without breaking a sweat. What happens when you have to explain why your killer abs disappeared overnight.
