Kouturekiss - Cheek Perfection

Between contouring, highlighting, and other beauty buzzwords right now it can seem a bit confusing when it comes to cheeks! Pulling out all the stops is fun for special occasions but on a daily basis it’s nice to simplify. Here are 3 products to add to your routine to get that perfectly sculpted cheek everyday!

  1. To start, you’ll need a matte bronzer, a shimmery highlighting powder, a blush, and an angled brush and a blush brush.
  2. Start with your angled brush, swirl it into your matte bronzer and apply in a line to the hollows of your cheeks. Sweep it back and forth so it’s blended.
  3. Dust off your same brush and sweep your highlighting powder on the tops of your cheekbones.
  4. Take your blush brush and apply your colour starting on the high point of the “apple” of your cheek. Don’t know where the apple of your cheeks are? Just smile! That round higher “cheeky” part that goes up when you smile? That’s the apple! The majority of your blush goes here.
  5. Now blend your blush back towards your temples. Don’t reload your brush, just use the remainder for this. This will blend everything together!
  6. Voilá! The perfectly sculpted cheek!

Step 1. Start with tangle free hair. Start with a section of hair behind your ear and divide it into two equal pieces.

Step 2. Twist the front section over the back section.

Step 3. Grab a piece of hair from the top and place it between your two first sections. Once the new piece is laying between your twist, pull it tight and keep it out of the way. (more…)
