Lets begin on part 2...
Round Faces: Give an illusion of slenderness by applying blush in a sideways V on the cheekbones. Blend it well and add a little to the chin as well.
Square Faces: Soften the square angles of the face with a dab of blush on the forehead and shin. Apply blush from the center of the eyes toward the cheekbones and blend.
Rectangular Faces: Applying blush below the outer corners of the eyes will reduce the elongated square shape.
Oval Faces: Apply blush to the prominent part of the cheekbone and blendit carefully toward the temples.
Contouring can do the following:
Accentuate the cheekbones by using a slightly darker shade in that area, while blending it down the cheek for a more natural look.
If you have a full face, focus your blush near your hairline.
If you have high cheekbones, apply the blush into the center of your face and DO NOT apply to the underside of your cheeks.

Contouring creates illusions on the face. It is an art of using shadow and highlight to sculpt, emphasize and accentuate features. *A great example of this is with cheekbones: highlighting above the bone and shadowing just below dramatically draws out the cheekbone.
To truly understand contouring, you need to understand the structure of the face. Symmetry is actually what makes a face "beautiful" and more photogenic, and so contouring can be used as a tool to create the illusion of balance and symmetry in the face.
Even the most subtle for of contouring has the power to transform, creating a natural look without the need to add colour and "makeup".
Contouring can do the following:- Give more defined cheekbones.
- Define the jawline/chin and minimize a "double" chin.
- Minimize a large forehead.
- Create fuller lips.
- Straighten and/or narrow a wider/larger nose.
- Lift sagging eyes.
KEY POINTS:
***The key point to remember is that the dark colours draw back and make things appear smaller and lighter colours make features appear larger and closer.
***ALWAYS use a matte shade when creating shadows. For achieving a natural look, this should be between two and three shades darker than the skin tone.
***You can use a matte or shimmer product to highlight, although for more Mature Skin it is recommended that a matte shade is used, as shimmer products will accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.
***The level of blending you do will determine how natural the contouring looks. ALWAYS check all angles in natural light before completion, to ensure there are no obvious streaks.
***Highlighting is the opposite if contouring. With darker shades, you create a shadow, such as under the cheekbone, to help create "shape", whereas the highlight colour, applied where the light would hit the bone-above the cheekbone, not on the cheekbone, helps create the "depth" of the shape.
