Sounds like you're asking about contouring. I'm actually not familiar with it but there are many posts on here that explains it. sorry I couldn't help.

You want to contour. Use a powder two shades darker than you to achieve this look. Apply the powder in the hollow of your cheeks & your jawline.

What you're mentioning is contouring, which is adding dimension to your face and making it appear slimmer. A lot of times when we use foundation, it's coverage is so heavy that it takes the dimensions of our face away.
You can either use a darker foundation shade, a contouring kit, or a concealer to contour with.
It should be an ashy brown shade, and bronzer is for after contouring. It doesn't matter how 'matte' the bronzer is because at the end of the day, it's not the right color! It'll look like a muddy streaky mess, and meant for a glow when the sun hits.. so it'll look rather funny in direct sunlight. You can also contour your nose ( It's like a painless nose job. ) Contouring can be tricky at first but once you get it- its fun to play with :)


I think the best place to learn how to properly contour your face is by watching wayne goss, he explains the 'magic line' ;) and how Kim Kardashian contours and highlights her face. He also explains proper techniques for it and how to find the hollow of your cheek bones.
