Highlight – the foolproof way!

Okay, so you’ve read all about contouring but are still wary of trying it? We get it! It can be daunting – you’ve barely just found your perfect foundation now you have to learn to fake cheekbones? If done wrong, the effect could attract attention for all the wrong reasons.

So let’s start with the simplest way to add radiance and subtle sculpturing: a highlighter. 

We love using a crayon like Clinique Chubby Sick Sculpting Highlight(R395) as it’s easy to use. Now draw it along these areas before you blend well:

– down the bridge of your nose

– into the cupid’s bow of your lips

– dot the centre of your chin

– dab onto the middle of your bottom lip

– create a C-shape at each temples 

– pat into the inner corners of your eyes

Viola! Radiance within seconds.
