Here are a few tips to create bone structure for days!
The defined cheekbone look is back in! But don't feel left out if you're thinking your apple-cheeked self can't rock this look. Any girl can get cheekbones worthy of a "Harper's Bazaar" cover with a few of these tips.
Suck It In
Yes, we're talking about that famous face that all women make when trying to apply rouge. Suck in your cheeks and fill in the hollows just below your cheekbones with taupe color to create the illusion of a "shadow." We like CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush, which is only $5.99 at Walgreens.
Just Relax
Once you've applied the "shadow," relax your face and put a bit of golden-beige blush on top of your cheekbones. This will highlight them. Bonus: The CoverGirl cheekbones kit we mentioned above also has the colors you'll need to highlight.
Lighten Up
When you've finished the steps, make sure that your look is not too severe. (This is a NOD to the '80s, not a direct recreation!) If the lines between the colors are too obvious, use a clean brush to soften everything up. For $15, Sephora's BCA Pocket Brush Set should have you covered. And voila, you'll have cheekbones that -- as Rachel Zoe would say -- will shut it down. And you didn't even have to hire an uber-expensive makeup artist to teach you how!
