I did a very subtle contouring (Hollows of the cheeks, eye crease, side of the nose) and highlighting (upper cheek bone, eyelid, bride of the nose and center of the lips) using an intensely dark and light powder. I always keep the contours matte and the highlights with a little bit of sheen and dewiness :)
This will give an illusion of a more dimensional than our usual flat, non-flattering face. Not limited to photography, once can wear this look at any time! This one is my fave go-to look simply because its easy to do but very crisp and fresh :)
One may also use cream highlighters and a darker liquid or cream concealer for contouring to create the most natural skin finish. Blending is the key for the most subtle effect.
In this photo, I used a newby in the market, IT cosmetics. Though this one is not yet available here in the Philippines. Among my favorite are: Smashbox Suntan Matte, Bare Minerals in Warmth, MAC MSF Naturale and Matte Bronze, Fanny Serrano 2-way powder, Bobby Brown, NYX Taupe blush, and so many more brands..
