Illusory Treatments of the Basic Types of Head Forms
With a colorant darker than the com-coloring on parts which are too wide or too long.
Shadowing (Illusory Treatments)
With a lighter colorant of parts which are too narrow or too short.
Highlighting (Illusory Treatments)
Is accomplished by painting within the natural borders.
Thinning (Illusory Treatments)
Is accomplished by painting short of the normal ends of the lips.
Narrowing (Illusory Treatments)
The lower lip is commonly thicker than the upper lip, so a thick upper lip may require balancing.
Thinning the upper lip and thickening the lower lip.
