I have a round face and big cheeks.Because of this I look a lot younger but on the downside my face doesn't look slim or defined. Any tips or suggestions?

I recommend a liquid foundation a shade darker or use a foundation stick a shade darker and draw from temple towards side of your cheek bone you know when you make a fish face you should be able to get it.don't contour all the way down you want to blend well the purpose of contour is to make it look like its your true features.if you have really chunky cheeks you want to make a half You..I call it building your face :-) and add a lil on to you jaw line but you don't want it to be obvious blending is a must.Its a little confusing as I'm use to showing how too.

Half You is when you smile you should notice the structure of your cheeks.

Contour cheek bones, temples of forehead, sides of nose and chin, and jawline and down the neck! You can use NYX blush in Taupe, Benefit Hoola or Nars Laguna to contour.. as long as its darker than your natural skin tone(and not too orangey, and no shimmer.

Visit youtube and checkout gossmakeupartist I believe he gives a tutorial on contouring different facial shapes.

Keep in mind you don't have to contour everything on your face.
