• Different face shapes require different contouring techniques. For example, round faces benefit from contouring along the sides to create definition, while square faces may need softening of the jawline. Or for example, if you have a longer face, focus contouring on the sides of the forehead and shorten the appearance of the chin. • Contouring isn't limited to the face. It can also be used to sculpt and define the body. You could contour to enhance muscle definition, create the appearance of cleavage and so on.
