About

Before and After Contour is a series of images comparing two different illustrations or photographs, joking that the second is the result of a drastic makeup transformation.

Origin

In November 2013, a series of makeup transformation photographs reached the frontpage of the /r/WTF[5] and /r/MakeupAddiction[6] subreddits with the title "Contouring in the new photoshop" (shown below).



On November 5th, 2014, Tumblr[1] user colabrat posted several different illustrations of the cartoon character Arthur with the caption "it's not plastic surgery it's contour, you're all so ignorant, im quitting this toxic site" (shown below). Within two years, the post gained over 342,000 notes.
