You have to contour for your shape. You can use either concealer, matte bronzer, cool toned shadow/powder/blush, or a contour palette.

This video might also help. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4nhaORsSPj4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D4nhaORsSPj4

I'd say jus start contouring in the hollows of your cheeks...make sure you blend no matter what you do cuz it can look harsh or fake if you don't blend well...trust me been there done that!

You can use a grey to cool toned bronzer, foundation, eye shadow, or blush. There ate also sculpting kits designed specifically for contouring.

Try to avoid warm toned , shimmery bronzers. Bronzers are used to warm up the face, and add color. And shimmery bronzer will only give off a dirty effect when used for contouring.

You can contour the hollows of your cheekbones, temples, sides or the nose, jawline, etc.

This is how I contour and highlight. You can definitely substitute the liquid foundation highlight with a bronzing powder but I wanted to try something a little different in this video!

I learned a great trick when I was trying to use makeup to transform myself into a celebrity look a like. Take a picture of yourself head on looking at the camara. you then go to your editing program and convert the picture into a sketch drawing. the drawing will have all the parts of your face shaded that need to be contoured. It makes it easy to see what features of yours stand out and what you should embellish on. Here is a picture of me turned into Micheal Jackson using this technique.
