ENHANCE YOUR FEATURES

 

1. CREATE A CONTRAST: 

Using a bronzer that has "zero" shimmer and fewer orange tones is key. If you have a darker complexion, try using a bronzer that is two shades darker than your skin tone. Be sure to blend, blend, blend {this is crucial} as you don't want a distinct line on your face.
{My favorite bronzer is Nars Laguna}

2. HITTING THE HOLLOWS:

Using a face brush or any type of brush that you prefer, you want to start at a point that is parallel and center of your ear and stroke the colour downward to the outer corner of your mouth. Afterwards, you want to blend upward to soften that line. Once you have done that, then sweep a little bit of bronzer around your temple to the outer corner of your brows as well as sweeping a little along the jaw line and down the neck.

3. LET IT GLOW:

 Next, you want to add some contrast and further emphasize your cheek bones by applying a cream or powder luminizer {highlight} directly onto the cheekbone just above where you have contoured, a little on the temples and under your brow bone. You will then want to highlight the bridge of your nose {applied to the bridge of your nose and then downward until you are halfway down your nose} as well as little on your cupids bow {upper lip}.
{My favorite highlighter is MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl} This is actually a cream eye shadow base but I like to use it as a highlighter}

4. BLUSHING IT:

With a blush brush, simply sweep on your favorite blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards towards your hair line. "Optional"- I sometimes like to add a little dusting on my nose from whatever is left over on the brush. It adds a little warmth and colour to my face that I love.
{I am currently switching through MAC Pink Swoon, MAC Fleur Power and Nars Orgasm}

5. FINISHING IT OFF:

 With a large powder brush, set your makeup by dusting a sheer or transparent powder all over your face and down the neck.
{I am using MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Medium plus}
