Face Contouring Makeup

I was taking some notes on basic makeup layout for "contouring" which, for those uninitiated, is using makeup to emphasize attractive contours of the face by highlighting or shading. I only made them as part of my personal note-taking, so it's all way overdone and not very subtle, but I thought I'd share them here as they are broadly applicable to painting, modelling, and texturing of faces:


Other than the red, the colors are not meant to be taken literally, but as broadly representative of either darker shading makeup or lighter highlighting makeup. Hope it helps somebody to have this laid out for them clearly :).
