SHAKE up your make-up by sketching symbols on your cheeks, forehead, nose, chin and lips to achieve a flawless finish.

Using shapes as stencils for contouring makes application easy and ensures the light and shade hit the best spots to bring out your features. Celeb make-up artist Lisa Sloneem explains.

Sketch symbols on your cheeks, forehead, nose, chin and lips for flawless contouring

Forehead: Heart

Draw a heart on your forehead with a lighter shade of foundation than your skin-tone

stewart williams

USE a firm concealer brush to draw a heart on the forehead using a foundation lighter than your skin, and fill. Blend down from the bottom point of the heart to highlight the centre of the nose.

Use pale shade from Stila Shape & Shade Custom Contour Duo (£31, stila.co.uk).

Cheekbone: Letter C

Make a C-shape around your eye socket from above the brow to the top of the cheek with a highlighter

stewart williams

PAINT a C from the top of the cheekbone, around the eye socket and above the brow, using a pale, shimmery highlight such as Revolution Liquid Highlighter (£6, Superdrug). Blend.

The contrast between the dark contour and pale highlighter will really sharpen your cheekbones.

Cheek: Triangle

Sketch a slender triangle with a darker shade of foundation from the hairline to the centre of the cheek

stewart williams

USING a darker foundation shade from the Stila Shape & Shade Custom Contour Duo, start at your hairline and draw a slender triangle under the cheekbone, narrowing until you reach the centre of the cheek.

Use a soft brush to gently blend into your foundation.

Nose: Letter U

Follow the line of your nose down one side, around the tip and up the other side with a contour shade

stewart williams

USING a dark contour creme, or the dark shade in Stila Shape & Shade Custom Contour Duo, draw a fine U down the nose, with the bottom of the letter round the tip, so the nose appears narrower and shorter.

Leave a highlighted space in the centre. Then blend very softly.

Lips: Letter V

Mark your cupid’s bow with a lipliner in a symmetrical V-shape and blend inwards onto the top lip

stewart williams

DEFINE your cupid’s bow and ensure your lipline is symmetrical by drawing a V using a lip liner like Laura Geller Pout Perfection Waterproof (£14 , Debenhams).

Blend from the line into the centre of your lips using the same pencil. Fill with a lipstick to create sheen.

Chin: Circle

Place a circle of pale concealer onto the centre of your chin and blend into your foundation until seamless

stewart williams

DRAW a circle on the chin with a pale concealer and fill to make it appear more defined. With a blending brush, keep the palest colour in the centre and brush out to merge with foundation.

Use the pale shade from Stila Shape & Shade Custom Contour Duo.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
