I will like to thank Gina for the request. I know how important it is for every woman to know how to do this.
HERE IS SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CONTOUR & SCULPT TO ADD DEPTH:
HOW IT WORKS:
Using deeper hues to contour or sculpt selected areas reduces emphasis on these features, causing them to retreat into the background of your face. Contour features that you want to camouflage (think a wide forehead or nose), give depth to or make appear smaller, which results in a more narrow or oval facial shape, commonly associated with youth.
COLORS TO USE: Darker colors (about 2 to 3 shades deeper than your natural skin tone), tans, browns ans in some cases deep shades of red.
HIGHLIGHT TO DEFINE
HOW IT WORKS: When facial features are highlighted, they become exaggerated, drawing more attention to them. Highlighting is important as it can lift areas of the face, like the brow bone and cheekbones, and gives the skin a youthful glow.
COLORS TO USE: Lighter shades, hues of white, nude, beige & creamy, pale shimmery colors.
