The forehead should also be treated, but not just one stroke, but three that will converge to the bridge of the

Face contouring scheme

Of course, faces of all are different and such a universal scheme can not be named, but necessarily at least a few recommendations will suit every woman.

Remember the following: it is necessary to darken those areas that you would like to visually hide, and lighten - those that I would like to emphasize, "stick out".

Lighten normally:

• Nose on its back
• Center part of the chin
• Face area under the eyebrows
• Upper cheekbones
• Areas around the mouth, namely the hollow that lies above the upper lip and the corners of the mouth

Obscured usually:

• The area of ​​the cheekbones - more precisely, thatthe zone that lies beneath them and forms the basins of the
• . The area under the chin is quite common for girls with problems with the chin line. In addition, darkening at this place will seem to bring a dark shade to the desired balance, added over the entire face area
• Nostril
• The closest site to the hair growth line
• Strangely enough, but the neck area, breasts are also often obscured - so the lines of the body becomemore elegant and smoother

• But that you need to "stick out" is the nose, nose and lips , because the round face often looks flat. Therefore, the relief of these parts does not interfere with what can be achieved by using a light-colored matte texture.

You can add a small amount of
• blush. Pay special attention to the chin - the fact is that in this case the chin is often visually heavy, and it is simply necessary to give it lightness. Make it a clear remedy, applying first a small semicircle in the center, and then two on the sides. As follows, shade the lines of
