But for this it is necessary to correctly emphasize the cheekbones. We at joy-pup give 5 practical tips on how to highlight your cheekbones.

Choose the right makeup product

To highlight your cheekbones, you can use contouring powder or cream. This product helps make cheekbones more expressive. Choose a shade that is 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin color.

Using a highlighter, you can add shine to your cheekbones. It is applied to the top of the cheekbones to visually lift them.

You can also use blush, which gives your face freshness. Shades of peach or pink suit any makeup.

How to contour

To make your cheekbones more expressive, you need to clearly define your cheekbone line. To do this, you can stretch out the cheeks to see where it is. The contouring product is applied under the cheekbone using a brush or sponge. Move from the ear to the middle of the cheek. It is important to shade the boundaries carefully, otherwise sharp lines will be very noticeable.

How to add volume to cheekbones

Use highlighter, which should be applied to the top of the cheekbones using a brush or fingers. Also lighten the nose, under the eyebrows, the area above the upper lip and the inner corners of the eyes.

How to refresh your look

For these purposes, use blush. First you need to identify the apples of your cheeks, which is done by smiling. Blend the blush, applying it upward to your temples. This will make you look natural.

Consider your face shape

To make your makeup look natural, you need to highlight your cheekbones, taking into account your face shape. In particular, for an oval face, contouring is applied under the cheekbone, and blush is applied to the apples of the cheeks.

A round face is characterized by applying intense contouring to the cheekbones and blush above the apples of the cheeks.

If you have a square face, soften the corners with contouring, but apply blush closer to the center of the cheeks. In the case of an oblong face, it is better to apply contouring to the lower part of the cheekbones, and blush to the middle of the cheeks.
