When applying makeup, contouring with light colors will always have what effect on the face?

• A. Narrowing
• B. Broadening
• C. Highlighting
• D. Moisturizing

Answer: (B)

Light colors reflect more light, which creates highlights and makes the chosen areas appear more prominent. In contouring, using a lighter shade is meant to brighten and lift features forward, so the effect is highlighting. It’s about drawing attention to those areas, not reducing them. The other options don’t fit because moisturizing is a skincare step, and narrowing would come from dark, recessed shading rather than a light shade.
