HIGHLIGHTING:

Highlighting can be a lot of fun! White and light colours reflect light and make the subject advance (come forward). So when you apply a lighter shade to an area of your face or body, you are making it appear bigger than what it really is.

Try using your eyeshadow brush to apply some white shimmer eyeshadow to your cheekbones, just under your eye. Or, use a smaller eyeshadow brush and highlight your brow bone (just under the corner of your eyebrow) with a matte cream or a shimmer eyeshadow that matches your look.

Just like shading, highlighting can help create the illusion of size and shape. Using a foundation brush, or a small powder brush, run your highlighter over your collar bones to "bring them forward". You can also apply the same effect to your shoulders by using a kabuki brush, or a large powder brush.

The possibilities are endless with highlighting and shading. If you have a weak chin, use a small powder brush, or an angled brush to add some cream or shimmer eyeshadow. If you have a small or flat nose and you want to make it look bigger, apply some matte cream eyeshadow with a foundation or eyeshadow brush, about one shade lighter than your foundation, to create a larger or wider looking nose.
