Contouring is tricky business: If its done correctly, and it can create cheekbones, make your face appear thinner, and help enhance your best features.
Blending in your bronzer, contour and highlight are essential to giving the illusion of naturally radiant skin. Remember that dark shades close in and light shades open up. An easy way to figure out your natural contours is to look at your face while standing directly under a light. The shadows cast by the light will give you an idea of the natural hollows and high points of your face.

Bronzer should be applied wherever the sun would naturally hit your face. Think of making a "3" shape on either side of your face (well, a reverse "3" on one side) to add colour across your forehead, cheekbones and jawline..
Start under your cheekbones and "brush the contouring color up toward your temple and dust it along your hairline," says Boehmer. Then do the bottom half of the numeral 3 shape: "Swipe the brush back under your cheekbones, then loop it down below your chin. By applying product to these areas in the shape of a 3, you're balancing the upper and lower parts of your face, creating an illusion of symmetry," he says.
And don't forget to highlight. "Finish the look by using a highlight color or loose powder on the higher points of the face to soften and diffuse the intensity of the contour," he says. "Choosing a pearly shade attracts light and contrasts nicely."
