Accenting Checkbones

Either with a cream foundation or powder blush, use a shade 2-3 times darker applied under the cheek bone area - extremely well blended. And in the same vein, only shades 2-3 shades lighter can be applied on top of the cheek bone to bring them forward.

After contouring and highlighting, then add your hint of blush.

Tip: Blend, blend, blend

Eyes and cheeks are best defined by the age-old method of contouring with a taupe or golden-brown powder before adding any other colors.
