Three dimensional makeup is used to add or alter facial features. It can be used to add warts, make a nose look slimmer, shorter or change a face shape into an ideal form.
As much as I adore a flawless tan , it can leave you looking a little flat and one note. Anytime you even out the skin, either with a foundation, tinted moisturizer, or self tanner, you take away depth and dimension.
That’s why shadows,bronzers, blush, and highlighters are so important. You need to put the “life” back into your face so to speak.

When my clients tell me they love when their tan because they can get away wearing less makeup, I agree with them but only to an extent. If you look at someone who has a natural tan they still have a youthful glow and some color in their cheeks. That’s why when I do makeup on clients, I never just stop at bronzer, I use blush as well.
Started to introduce this technique not only for the celebrities I’ve worked with but also to my clients which they realized that its makes a huge difference. The combination of the blush+bronzer leaves you looking the most natural and youthful, which is what you want from your makeup. To further enhance your features, some well placed highlighting adds radiance and depth to your makeup.
Using a cream or powder highlighter, you can sculpt your eyes, cheekbones, even slenderize your nose. When you even out your skin tone with foundation, you need to go back in and add life and color to your face, that’s why it’s called foundation, it lays the framework for everything you put on top of it. When it comes to natural looking makeup and avoiding looking one dimensional, adding texture and depth with bronzer and blush is crucial.
As you can see , the round parts are the highlighted area to create an illusion of light and the sharp lines shows the shadowed area to make the face closer to the desired shape.
