Cheek Highlights

Adding Cheek Highlights

 
Adding cheek highlights is another makeup step to accentuating cheek bones. 
 
After applying all of your makeup, highlight your cheeks by sweeping a small amount of highlighter along the outside corner of your cheekbone below your eye.  Don't apply too much highlighter or it will look unnatural - a very little amount will do the trick.
 
For a bright and fresh look, place a tiny dot of highlighter on the center of the cheek apple and blend the edges outwards. 
 
 
For warm skin tones, choose highlighters with gold undertones.
 
For cool skin tones, choose highlighters with silver undertones.
 
If you are fortunate, you have a makeup compact with two or more blush colors. Use the lighter blush to highlight your cheeks; the darker blush for color.
 
When adding cheek highlights, think of a day laying on the beach, and then think about where the sun's rays first reach out to touch your cheeks.
