Contouring

The purpose of contouring your face serves to recede features or to give them depth. This is done at the hollows of the cheeks (under your cheekbone), at the side of the nose, at the chin and at the jawbone.
Please note that in contouring these areas you are placing a shadow on them.
Almost any type of product can be used to do this: powder, cream or liquid. It all depends on what you are comfortable working with.
Highlighting works in opposition, as it puts emphasis on features.  Areas to highlight are the bridge of the nose , above the eyebrows, the top of your cheekbone and the Cupid's bow.
Just remember not to contour with products that contain shimmer, matte should be what you are looking for.
Also, please. do not use products with frost or shimmer on the 'tip' of your nose, unless you are trying to get a glow similar to that of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
