Did you ever wish you could change your nose? Or your chin?

Well, contouring can help change your facial features temporarily. By using darker shades of make-up to contour, and lighter shades to highlight; imperfect features can appear more attractive so you can enjoy looking in the mirror.

Smart Cover is ideal for contouring. You can highlight with the Perfect Touch Camouflage Crème to soften undesirable shadows under the eyes, at the corners of your mouth, or wherever deep wrinkles or furrows appear. You can even make a receding chin have better definition by highlighting the jaw bones.

Use dark shades to contour a nose that’s too wide. Apply down both sides to make the nose appear slimmer. For a forehead that’s too broad, apply a shading product like the Smart Cover Stick to the outer corners and blend to the hairline. You can also watch chubby cheeks seem much thinner by shadowing beneath the natural cheekbone to create a more sculpted look.

Don’t let the idea of contouring scare you. Use just small amounts of a crème makeup to get started. And, make sure to blend the edges so it looks natural to your eye and set it with some finishing powder and apply with a brush.

Remember our golden rule — highlight your best and contour or shadow away the rest!
