Thanks for this info Alison, which would suggest that we sue the same term in English, although I have never come across it. I think perhaps sculpting would be better understood by most readers.

Some definitions/explanations found in patents de tels effets sont dits de « morphing », c'est-à-dire de sculpture de la peau sur laquelle elle est appliquée, par la possibilité d'alternance de zones plus sombres et de zones plus claires. http://www.google.com/patents/EP1195155A2?cl=fr
Un tel effet pourra être qualifié de « tridimensionnel » et plus particulièrement de "pulping" pour les lèvres ou de "morphing" pour le visage et le corps. http://www.google.sc/patents/EP1382323A2?cl=fr
cet effet de maquillage particulier correspond à un effet de sculpture du visage, appelé également en terminologie anglo-saxone effet « morphing ». http://www.google.com/patents/EP1427382A1?cl=fr
Recently cosmetic products have been developed to have facial sculpting or “morphing” properties where the visual contrast between the shadowed (the sides of the face for example) and highlighted areas (the forehead, cheekbones and chin for example) on the skin is accentuated (example of sculpting foundation).
“Morphing” particles are those which give rise to a sculpting effect when applied to a structured feature in particular the face. http://www.google.com/patents/US8597628
