Quick Tip

Hi loves!

People always compliment my cheekbones, so here's a quick tip on how I make my cheek bones look higher & slimmer.

 You will need..

A piece of sturdy cardboard or card that has a straight long edge. (Length of cheekbones) 
A medium sized angled brush. 
A darker shade Bronzer (I used MAC give me sun skinfinish) 
A blush or you can use a highlighter.
(I used MAC baked mineral blush & LORAC TANtalizer highlighter)
A regular blending brush.
A medium sized blush brush. 

Ok, so first you want to prime your face with your foundation or powder. (I used MAC studio fixit powder). Next, wet your angled brush, just a little to make the drama effect. Next, place your card just below the middle of your cheekbones. Move it so it is lying on an angle. Dip your angled brush into your Bronzer and swipe back and forth along the edge of your cardboard (you can wet your brush more if you want a darker looking effect.) When you take the card away you should have an angled line across your cheekbone. Use your regular brush to blend in the line using a circular motion under the cheekbone. Now, the line should be somewhat visible, but not as noticeable. Dip your medium sized brush into your blush or highlighter and gently swipe the insides of your cheekbones. Moving the brush back and forth horizontally. This will help blend & give you more definition. Finish with a spritz of NYX's Dewy Setting Spray. 



*For a more highlighted/wetter look, wet your angled brush again and swipe the outside lines of your nose with Bronzer. Swipe the middle/inside of your nose with the highlighter and blend it all together with your blending brush. Finish with setting spray!
