Contouring Cheekbones

Lauren’s makeup tip of the day: Contouring Cheekbones!

• Suck in your cheeks.  Using an angled brush, blend your contour shade (if you’re new to this, use powder one shade darker than your skin instead of bronzer) under the cheekbone from the hairline to the hollow of the cheeks halfway down your cheekbone.
  
• Apply your highlighter along the top of the cheekbone from above the hollow to the temple.
  
• With a soft brush, apply your blush to the apples of your cheeks only.

Tip: I find the most natural blending once all are applied occurs with gentle finger blending. This will keep you from looking like you stepped out of a music video from the 1980’s. The goal is that it doesn’t look like you contoured at all.

Practice, practice, practice! Have fun!
