Defined cheekbones are the most coveted facial trait of them all. Made famous by the likes of Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn, high cheekbones are both sexy, and youthful because of the slimming effect they have. And if you’re not naturally blessed, Lancôme’s senior make-up artist Stafford Braganza gives you the cheat sheet in three easy steps.
Contour: Start by sucking your cheeks in and apply blusher or bronzer one shade darker than your skin tone in to the hollow of your cheeks. The trick here is to dust the colour under and not over your cheekbones. Blend in an upward diagonal direction towards your temples.
Highlight: Apply a gold or copper highlighter high on the cheeks blending it in circular motions outwards towards your temples. A highlighter catches and reflects the light, giving the illusion of prominent cheekbones.
Colour and sculpt: Finish off by blending a light colour (peach or pink) directly over the apple of your cheeks, maintain the blending motion upwards towards your cheekbones. The key to achieving this look is to always, always blend properly.
