title: Cosmetic camouflaging techniques.
abstract: Cosmetic camouflaging techniques can be used to minimize the appearance of facial scarring due to trauma and/or surgery. Facial pigmentation defects are minimized through the application of facial foundations of complimentary colors. Principles of high-lighting and shadowing are used to conceal surface contour defects by combining opaque facial foundations with colored cosmetics.
