How to Define Your Cheekbones

Defining our cheekbones is all about using correct makeup tricks and shadow placements.

Step 1: Highlight

you will need a shimmery highlighter shade and a tapered brush.

Take a mirror, and observe where the light naturally hits the tips of your cheekbones

Begin by applying the highlighter diagonally along the length of your cheekbones.

Highlighter Recommendation

Contour

For this step, you will need cool-toned contour pigment and an angled bristle brush.

Blend

Place the pigment below your cheekbones and blend it toward your mouth corners.
