She is beautiful, but I find this picture misleading I could be wrong. when contouring you really don't put on a great amount of color or product to the face,I have no idea where that came from but in Kevyan Aucoin book making faces he has a picture that looks a lil similar to this but he says near the picture that this example of placement and amount of product should not be taken too literally it was just to show ideally the placement and I think most don't get that and ran off with what they seen in the picture versus reading why he did that lol and another thing is if she did do this I say about 50% of it was wiped off because I pretty much think that most of us know what it looks like when a great amount of product of a lighter color is on our faces it does stand out and does not really look flattering in person and on top of that the color choice of terracotta used for contour doesn't seem to match the finish to the picture in the right.Yes she may have blended it but I think it was more wiped then anything and some help from Mr.Edit.I know a lot goes into a look but I also know what goes into it to deceive the eye and the placement seems off when you compare the two.But if she truly did this then she is the most amazing makeup blender I've ever seen  :-)

Alma, I'm glad you wrote that. I was looking in particular under the nose and the isn't of product used doesn't look correct on comparison to the outcome. Same with the lips and nose.

Thanks ladies, the placement and knowing what that kind of finish looks like just seemed funny And the fact that when ones forehead is wide why would you want to make it look wider by adding your highlight almost covering the whole forehead? to me that doesn't make sense if that's the case there was no need to add that great about all over the forehead but yet use a thin layer of terracotta color (which is not ok) to shadow what? Lol you just highlighted your whole forehead! lol but that's also off in the other pic as well.
