Corrective contouring
The shape of your eyesβ
Correcting protruding eyes
What it looks like: generally, protruding eyes tend to have a rounded shape and particularly prominent eyelids.
How to correct it: apply Shadowlight Shadow to the entire upper eyelid to disguise the excessive protrusion, then highlight the brow bone with Shadowlight Light to harmonise the area.
Correcting downward turned eyes or droopy eyelids
What it looks like: in both cases, the effect is eyes that look sad and tired because the outer corners of the eyes look lower than the inner corners. If you have downward turned eyes, this is because the outer corner is actually lower. If you have drooping eyelids, the skin above the crease weighs down and "engulfs" the eyelid, visibly pulling down the outer corner.
How to correct it: apply Shadowlight Shadow just above the outer half of the eye crease and shade outwards towards the end of the eyebrow to lift up the outer corner. If necessary, shade along the upper lash line as well, then finish by illuminating the inner corner of the eye with Shadowlight Light.
Correcting sunken eyes
What it looks like: the eyes are deeply recessed into the socket, and so are often in shadow and do not stand out.
How to correct it: make the whole upper eyelid area (above and below the crease) more prominent by applying Shadowlight Light.
Lip volume
In generally, to increase or alter the volume of the lips, all you need to do is apply Shadowlight Light to the centre of the lower lip and Cupid's bow. The shape of the point of light at the centre of the lower lip alters the shape of the lips: you can try the different suggestions illustrated here and choose whichever suits you best.
