Enhance Your Brows
Enhancing our natural brow shapes can help frame our face structures and add depth to our overall features.

Use Highlighter
If you love a healthy glow, then adding a highlighter is the way to go!
- Warm-toned and golden-colored highlighter shades work best with deeper skin tones.
- Take a mirror, and observe where the light naturally hits the tips of your cheekbones.
- Start by placing your golden highlighter on the highest points of your cheekbones.
- Next, apply small amounts of the pigment to the upper brow bone for that lifted-eye effect.
- Finish the highlighter look by placing a shimmer on the center of the forehead and the bridge of the nose.
