Contouring:

Blasco used a grey-brown shading medium to mimic naturally occurring shadows. It was applied under the cheekbone to define and enhance it. To thin and define the nose, shading was placed from the beginning of the eyebrow along the upper sides of nose and around the nose tip. A sponge was used to blend and soften the shading after application.

Highlighting:

Additional definition and corrections was achieved with use of highlighting. A light yellow highlight was mixed with a small amount of medium olive beige base to create a custom color that is relative to the base tone. The highlighter was used on the cheekbone, eyebrow and nasolabial fold where natural shadows caused by depressions and folds interfere with the smooth, youthful continuity of the face. An orange highlight was used under the eyes to raise the depression and neutralize bleuness. Highlights were blended with a sponge.
