Using the darker contour shades, apply color in areas where you wish to achieve a slimming effect; such as along the sides and beneath the tip of the nose, in the hollow of the cheeks, along the jawline, and along the hairline on the sides of your forehead. Use the matte brightening shade to add light, lift, and create defined angles on the top of the nose, chin, and center of the forehead. Use the highlighting shade on the top of the cheekbones, below the brow bone, on the cupid's bow, and on the temples for an illuminating glow.
