No matter what your thoughts are on contouring -- hate it, love it, still can't figure it out -- we have to agree that it's basically ingrained as the beauty zeitgeist of our generation. Short bobs and cupid bow lips might have dominated the 20s and fluttery lashes and long, pin-straight hair the 60s, but the 2010s are ALL about the contour.

And if you thought we've contoured everything there possibly is to contour -- the face, the collarbone, even your decolletage -- you're dead wrong.

Modern Family's Ariel Winter just posted an Instagram of makeup artist Kip Zachary getting very up close and personal with her booty in a way that suggests that he might just be contouring it. That's right, ladies: Butt contouring is a thing, and we must all learn to adapt.

This raises several questions. First, is there a way to contour an a** without outside help? If not, just how flexible do you have to get? Where do you place your shadows and your highlights, if you have a perfectly rotund behind? What about product -- do you use a cream? A shadow? My vote is for a matte or low-shimmer self-tanner.

Teach us your ways, Ariel.
