Contouring and highlighting creates a more defined and bright face.

The picture below shows where to put bronzer and highlight. 

To find the hollows of your cheeks, make a fish face and see where your face creates a hollow.  Place the bronzer closest to your hairline in the hollow and blend forward following the line.  I don't drag my bronzer as far down as the picture shows.  I also put bronzer on my temples and blend down into my contour.  Think it as a 3 E motion on both sides of your face.  You can contour the sides of your nose to make it look slim.  Don't forget to blend the bronzer down your neck.  

Highlighting makes your face look luminous and bright.  Place the highlight on your cheekbones and brow bones.  You can put it down the center of your face to make your face glow and catch light.  Sometimes using too much highlight can cause your face to look shiny so make sure you don't over do it.
