If you have a very broad jaw, then the best way to mute it is to apply a darker shade of blush or a bronzer on the sides of your jaw, as these are usually the areas that come across as the heaviest. Such smart contouring works wonders to create an illusion of a shorter and smaller lower jaw area and a larger and wider upper face, that balances out well. On the contrary, if you have a narrow jaw that you want to make appear broader, then use a lighter shade of foundation or blush on the same area to highlight it, as it will then give you the opposite effect or a broad jaw.

Step 1: Take your 127 Blush Brush and dip it either into a dark shade of powder/blush/bronzer. Apply this color at the sides of your client’s jaw, taking it upwards till right next to her ears. This will give the illusion of a shorter or smaller jaw area and a larger and wider upper face.
