Weather you like it or not highlighting and contouring plays a major role in the facial structure of an individual there by sliming and adding dimension to the face, you either want to use a highlight powder, bronzer, foundation or a concealer one or two shades lighter than your normal skin tone to highlight the under eyes.
Foundation, matte powder, matte bronzer, dark brown eyeshadow or even concealer like mac studio finish can be used to contour the face. When it comes to setting of foundation the best way to set your foundation is to use a POWDER BUFF or FLAT TOP BRUSH because it pushes and glides on the product onto the skin as well as keeps it in place all day and makesure to knock off the excess with big fluffy powder brush. Please DO NOT use a fluffy brush to set your foundation because it does not glide on the powder to the skin it just sits on the surface of the skin.
Highlighting Tips:
