Contouring 101

Making Faces  by Kevin Aucoin

This picture taken from "Making Faces", authored by Kevin Aucoin visually depicts where the highlights and shadows are placed. I know at first it may look a bit harsh but when blended it looks very natural. When doing contours and highlights you can choose to use either powder or foundation or both. You apply the darker product in the recess of the face to diminish it while the lighter areas will be highlighted to give the illusion of a more defined look. Take a before and after picture and see the difference contouring makes in your facial structure.
