Highlights & Shading
A major trick of the makeup artist trade, is highlighting and shading. With the proper ivory/beige and dark tone browns, you can virtually reshape the face. For light skin, the highlight goes on the top and contour on bottom. For dark skin it is the opposite, dark tone browns on top and highlight at bottom. The colors featured in this section are specifically designed for this purpose.
