Makeup Artists can completely transform facial appearances through their artistic cleverness using cosmetic highlights and shadows. The challenge Makeup Artists confront are the different ranges of face shapes, which can be either oval, square, round, heart or oblong. (Note: the oval shape face is considered the ideal face shape). Additionally, we have to consider other facial features such as the eyes, nose, lips, cheeks and brows and how they are balanced on the face.

Makeup Artists depend on corrective techniques of such as shading and highlights to restore near perfect facial symmetry. Here are some key points to keep in mind as you shade your face.
- The purpose of shading is to create shadows to restore the natural dimensions to your face.
- Since the purpose of shading is to replica shadows, the appearance should be flawlessly natural.
- If too much product is deposited while sculpting and shading you will end up with a mucky effect, however, insufficient shader will result in a lacklustre appearance.
- Shading products are available as pressed powder or a cream product.
- When selecting a shader, choose a shade two to three times darker than your skin tone for successful contrast.
