Q: I'm trying to make my face look thin and gaunt, what tips would you give on using eyeshadow to create the effect? Eg. Dark eyeshadow on certain place, light on a certain place Cheers.
A: You mean, contouring? Contouring can be tricky because application depends on the natural shape of your face. Contouring will automatically make your face look thinner. If you're going for a natural contoured look, use a contouring brush [basically a medium sized fluffy brush] to apply a matte bronze shade [the exact color depends on how natural [or unnatural] you're wanting it to look and your skin tone] with downward stroke from about just below the temple in a curved line under the apples of the cheek.
