Skowhegan is also where Alex Katz developed beyond his inspiration of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning within his work,

When using a powder, I like
utilizing two
brushes to highlight: a medium sized blush
brush (like # 300 from Real Techniques) for larger areas, like the top of the cheekbone, and an eyeshadow
brush with medium density (think something like the # 217 blending
brush from MAC), for
small points like the bridge of the nose and the cupid's bow.
