How so you highlight what does that do and what are some good ways or like looks on putting eyeshadow.

Good question. There are two things makeup artists can do to sculpt the face- highlighting and contouring. Contouring uses a shade slightly darker that the skin to recede it. For example, bronzer is applied to the hollows of the cheeks to give the appearance of a thinner face. Highlighting is just the opposite- you are using a shade slightly lighter than the skin to bring a certain feature foreword. For example, you could apply a highlight to the highs of your cheek bones to bring attention to them. When you highlight a feature, you are bringing more light to it, and thus drawing more attention to it. Below is an example of highlighting/contouring.

As for eyeshadow looks, what sort are you going for? Are you looking for a pop of color that will make a statement, or a natural look that just enhances your eyes?
