·         To emphasize cheekbones, use shader to draw a line under the cheekbone, from under the center of the eye out toward the top of the ear. Draw a second line toward the bottom of the ear, then fill and blend.

·         If your nose is too broad, narrow the wide area with triangles of shader at the sides.

Lift a heavy jaw by shading shapes just above the heavy part; blend well into the natural shades of the face and neck.

If your nose is crooked, straighten its appearance by applying a little blended shader to the crooked side.

To give a wide forehead a better proportion, apply shader to the temples and blend it with the hairline.

Blushers

Blushers are strong colors that add a healthy warmth and tone to the skin. Even faces that do not need contouring will look better with a little blusher, and mature skins are enhanced by soft shades of matt blusher. It is important to place blusher properly. If the color is too near the nose, it can give the face a pinched look; always blend toward the hairline to give the face an open aspect. Blusher should usually be at least two tones darker than your skin tone. Blusher should always be within the same color group as eye make-up used.
