1. Begin with a clean, moisturized face.
2. Highlight the triangle area underneath your eyes, the center of your forehead down the bridge of nose, and above and below the lip area.
3. Contour each side of your forehead, the cheekbone area and the sides and center of your chin.
4. Begin blending in the colors with a foundation that matches your skin tone.
5. Continue blending with your foundation.
6. Now we are going to lock in the highlights by placing a highlight powder in the same areas we placed the highlight cream.
7. Lock in the contours by placing a contour powder in the same areas you placed the contour creams.
8. Blend the edges together and voila!

1. Begin with a clean face and pull your hair out of the way with a headband.
2. Apply a primer or moisturizer. I used Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer.
3. Conceal any under-eye circles you may have. I used Graftobian HD Glamour Creme to do this.
4. Also using the Graftobian HD Glamour Creme, conceal any blemishes.
5. Apply your favorite foundation. I used MAC Studio Sculpt.
6. To make sure this lasts all day and to give your skin a matte finish, apply a powder to set. I used The All Natural Face Vegan Foundation.
7. Voila!

1. I begin my highlight and contour routine first by applying a cream highlight. The brighter and whiter the better, since it will fade a bit once you blend it out and apply your setting powder. I used the white concealer from the Coastal Scents Camo Quad (mine is Medium).
2. After blending and setting your highlight, go back in with a powder a few shades lighter than your skin tone to reinforce the cream highlights. I also applied a shimmer highlight to the tops of my cheekbones to enhance that area even more. Use a powder a few shades darker than your skin tone to contour the hollows of your cheekbones, the top and sides of your forehead, your chin and the sides of your nose. Continue with the rest of your makeup routine and voila!

1. Highlighting adds so much dimension to your look! Just grab a cream or powder that’s a few shades lighter than your skin tone… added bonus if it’s a little shimmery! Everything you lighten on your face brings it forward visually so use your brush or fingers to add your highlighter to the high points of your face or places that need a little light!
2. Dust it on the tops of your cheekbones to make them look higher!
3. On the bridge of your nose to slim it!
4. On your “cupid’s bow” above your mouth to make your lips look fuller!
5. On the center of your chin for a sharper jawline!
6. The center of your forehead for added dimension!
7. The inner socket of your eye to make them look more open and awake!
8. And right under your brow for a more pronounced eye!
