While this may work for some, it’s better to stick to make-up to enhance your bone structure. “TikTok is responsible for a trend where people apply tanning lotion like a bronzer, let it set overnight then await a more chiselled cheekbone the next day. Whether you’re using powder, creams or liquids, let all the colours melt into each other so they don’t stand out on their own.” – Jennifer Avoid Fake Tan This doesn’t mean you need to use loads of product: just use a little touch of colour under the cheekbones, a pop of blush on the apples of the cheeks, adding a little warmth with your bronzer and a slick of subtle highlighter to finish. For example, blending your contour with your blusher, bronzer and highlighter is a must. “For a naturally sculpted look, it's all about blending thoroughly and using products that work together. These formulas are so easy to apply and blend, making sculpting your skin a quick and easy task.” – Sophie Use Everything In Harmony It has light-diffusing particles that give skin a soft, luminous glow. Bouncy and mousse like, it’s a hybrid cream and powder, which means it lasts. I recommend Stila’s Heaven’s Hue Highlighter which feels like putty. “Texture is key for defining your cheekbones. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge is ideal for this – it gives an amazing glow.” – Hollie ![]() If your skin type is normal to dry, cream works well and will seal in moisture throughout the day. “If your skin type is more normal to oily, I recommend using powder formulas for your bronzer, blusher or highlighter. Look for ones with just a hint of shimmer so they catch the light.” – Jennifer Just a small amount tapped onto the highest parts of your cheekbones can be enough – especially if you’re short on time. ![]() “One of the most fool-proof ways to enhance your cheekbones is to use a cream highlight with minimal shimmer. Try to avoid anything yellow or too golden around your cheekbones, as this can end up looking muddy.” – Jennifer Oliver Don’t Forget Highlighter “To create a natural-looking contour or shadow under your cheekbone, you want to use products with a cooler undertone to them. Sweep it along the upper side of your cheekbone and blend it in with your fingertips.” – Sophie Find The Right Tone Use a highlighting stick like Westman Atelier’s. You then want to add some light and bring the cheekbones forward. This creates a shadow, and a slimmer face shape. Start at the top of your cheekbone – next to your ear – then sweep towards the nose, below your cheekbone. “Powders are great for contouring – I recommend using one like Kevyn Aucoin’s The Sculpting Powder. This will help to ‘lift’ the bone structure rather than flattening it.” – Jessica Kell You want any colour to stay beneath the cheekbones, not above them. Start by buffing the colour – be it a cream bronzer or powder – down the lines, stopping when you reach the points where the centre of your pupils would meet your cheeks. Imagine vertical lines travelling up from there to the tops of your ears. “When it comes to contouring, use the outer corners of your mouth as starting points. It’s the easiest way to create the illusion of hollow cheeks.” – Sophie Tilley Take A ‘Lip To Ear’ Approach Take a cream product, like Charlotte Tilbury’s Contour Wand, make a dot beneath where your cheekbone ends (near the sides of your mouth) and softly blend in circular motions until it’s smoothed out. You can also try the ‘Kate Moss’ hack that’s currently all over social media. Remember: highlight what you want to bring forward contour what you want to push back. “Enhancing your cheekbones with make-up is all about creating the right amount of light and shade. The apples of your cheeks are primarily where you begin most application of product, then you want to look for where the cheeks rise towards the temples – this is the line of application to follow for lifted and structured cheekbones.” – Hollie Ellis Remember The Light & Shade Rule “Everyone’s cheekbones start and end in different areas of their face. ![]()
