Most of us were not blessed with perfect bone structure and there is bound to be something that you wish you could change. With a little skill and practice you can change the features of your face with a subtle approach – it is called ‘Contouring’. Contouring is the art of highlighting and shading. It is where you simply use a highlight color one or two shades lighter than your skin tone to make an area more prominent and anything darker than your skin tone will make that area recede.
Here's how you can easily alter your face:
To Contour - Use a bronzing powder a shade or two darker than your skin tone To Highlight – Use a highlighting powder one to two shades lighter than your skin tone. (You can also use blush to highlight your cheek bones)
Refer to diagram
1. Contour – Pushes back a protruding nose
Highlight – Brings a flat nose forward. Slims a wide nose or elongates a short nose.
2. Contour – Flattens a protruding forehead
Highlight – Brings forward an indented forehead, enlarges forehead.
3. Contour – Slims a wide face.
Highlight – Widens a narrow face
4. Contour – Brings wide set eyes closer together
Highlight – Gives the illusion that close set eyes are wider apart.
Beauty Tip: If you want to look a little more awake use a cream colored pencil on the inside of your eye, it opens up your eyes and makes them pop.
