Contouring
This is the art of using highlights and shadows in order to create the illusion of concave cheeks, a strong jaw line, the perfect nose or an oval face. Celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Kim Kardashian and Kelly Rowland are all fans of contouring. Ensure that you have a darker and lighter foundation, or a highlighter and a bronzer to achieve this look.
