Lol! I put highlighter in all weird places I'm not sure where exactly to put it.. I want to achieve a slight glow dewy look.. does puting it on your nose make smaller?

When I highlight and contour I use a powder contour palette and apply small amounts of colour at a time. I contour mainly under the cheek bones, under the chin and down the sides of the nose and highlight on the centre ofbthe forehead and top ofbthe cheek bones. using a powder brush and small amounts of powder makes it easier to blend.

First colour correct, foundation, loose powder then contour and highlight and blush.

The loose powder sets the foundation so the dark pigments of the contour just set in, loose powdering first makes it easier to blend the contour and highlight in to make it look more natural instead of blocky.

Here's a link on how to highlight and contour just like Kim. It has links throughout the article and even includes a video of Kim showing how she does it herself :) good luck!

I like a matte bronzer 2 contour with no sparkle 2 it. Suck in your cheeks n apply it in the hollows, up the outside of your face 2 a little way along your hairline & back down the outside of your face & a little way along your jawline, sorta makes a 3 shape on each side of your face, then blend, blend, blend. That will slim your face, if you want your nose 2 appear slimmer dust a little along the sides.
Blush goes on the apples & up & oyt towards the top of your ear.
Highlighter goes on the area's you want 2 bring 4ward n catch the light so the cheekbones, also under the brows if you want, on your cupid's bow 2 make your lips look fuller & a little down the centre of your nose 2 make it look slimmer tho b careful with that cos it's easy 2 overdo & make your nose look 2 long. x
