Highlighters and shaders are designed to contour the facial features. To use highlighter you want to accentuate certain features e.g. if you have a narrow face you would brush highlighter down the sides of the face near the hair line to give width. To use shader you want to deminish features e.g. if you have a broad forehead you would use shader near and above the temples to make it appear smaller.

What do you use first shader or highlighter?

Shader first (the best thing is pressed powder at least three to four shades darker than your overall face powder--for instance, if you wear Cover Girl Ivory, Cover Girl Creamy Natural or Buff Beige would be good) , then highlighter, which is that whitish-pink blusher no one ever wears because they don't know what to do with it. Shader goes under your cheekbones, highlighter on top of them and on your temples, blush (the pinkish-reddish powder most people put under their cheekbones) on the apples of your cheeks.
