I cannot tell you how many women skip the final finishing step of adding contour to the face! With these steps, you can take your face from FLAT to FABULOUS!
1. HIGHLIGHT
Dust a highligher onto cheekbones, bridge of nose, and forehead just above the brow line for a dewy glow.

2. CONTOUR
Pick a powder that is 1-2 shades darker than your skin, and starting above your ear, brush towards the center to create a shadow below the cheekbones, making sure to tap off excess powder before going to your face. Getting this just perfect takes practice, so try it a few times when you have some time. The key to making this work is blending, so get a really good buffing brush to blend the color.
3. BLUSH
Adding a hint of rouge to the cheeks will liven up your face, but with blush, less is more, so choose a subtle shade.
