Contouring and highlighting are makeup techniques that add dimension to the face. Contouring involves applying a product a few shades darker than your normal foundation at points on the face to help define your natural features, while highlighting involves applying a product a few shades lighter than your normal foundation to the high points of the face to bring out those features. Here are some products that can be used for contouring and highlighting:

Contouring Products:

• Cream foundation sticks
• Cream bronzers
• Liquid concealers
• Powder bronzer
• Face powders

When shopping for a contour product, the first thing youll want to determine is whether you wish to use a cream or powder formula, and then pick your shade. "Youll want a color that works with your natural undertone and is at least three shades deeper than your natural complexion. You can go darker based on how dramatic you want the final effect to be," says Black.
