I've been looking up tutorials on how to make your face look smaller using make up and they seem to use this dark powder or similar but I don't have one of those, what can be an alternative?Oh and how can you make the eyes appear darker besides eyeliner, and eyeshadow? And lastly how do you make those nike like eyebrows?(sorry I don't know the exact term) thanks!!

I have a really round face and chubby cheeks and contouring works like a charm! Just bronze over your cheek bones and jaw line and that will make your face appear slimmer by a big amount x

I use a darker foundation for areas that I want to contour. Blend that in with the rest of my foundation. A contour powder or bronzer will do but really, anything darker than your skin tone should work. As for eyes appearing darker, I'm thinking color, you can use a base that is the same shade as your eyeshadow to bring out the color. As for brows, I recommend you follow your own natural arches and fill it in. Of course you can extend the brow to your liking. Full brows are in. Never heard of Nike like brows...lol.

Define your cheek bones depending on your skin tone get a bronzer or a type of brown, a blush brush where you can streak right below your cheek bone to slim out your face you can also do this along your jaw lines good luck...

The picture that Jasi posted of the heavy contour and highlight on the woman is a kevyn Aucoin picture from his book Making Faces. The words of Keyvn explaining why the picture is Exaggerated ( This photo is really an Illustration of the Contour of the face.The application is Exaggerated and Not to be taken too Literally.It's just to show how highlighting and contouring (when sparing-ly applied and carefully blended) can add definition to the face.You can use this photo to understand your own bone structure and make the most of it.Practice at home in the daylight and test your progress.You may never do this for everyday life But for special occasions or photographs,it can really make a difference.
I just want to add that when doing this illusion use a cool tone color,Not a Orange tone.

Well there's Contouring for make up, and then to actually slim your face I recommend doing massages that drain your lymph nodes... there are lots of YouTube videos explaining how to them it. It's a common practice and I've been doing it for awhile now and have noticed it.
