Or more conventionally, a beauty dish which, with its round profile, would create a butterfly shadow.
A beauty dish and honeycomb grid is on my shopping wish list, but for now I figure the odd shadow is an acceptable tradeoff. Hey, it's a unique signature, like the odd shadow from ring lights. :-) Two lights would actually cast two shadows either side of her nose, which is also pretty fatal. Plus it would spoil the nice contrasty fall-off I'm getting that so prominently carves her cheekbones.
