I thought I would do a super quick post on the foundation, hilight and contour routine I use when I'm going out (I also just filled in my brows very messily to show full effect at the end).
The products I use are : Smashbox Photo Ready Primer, Inglot HD Foundation, NYX HD Concealer, MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, MAC Lightscapade, MAC Warm Soul and Seventeen Define and Conquer Palette.
I prime my face using the smash box primer and then apply the inglot foundation, both mentioned above.
Once that's done, I apply MAC Pro Longwear Concealer under my eyes, in the middle of my forehead, on my chin and on the bridge of my nose to Hilight, as these are the areas I want the light to hit. I apply the darker NYX concealer under my cheek bones, under my bottom lip, on the sides and end of my nose and along my hair line to contour, as these are areas where I want to create a shadow, for example, applying it under my cheek bones lifts them up and gives the illusion of a more sculpted face.
Once all of this is blended (I like to use the Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge for a flawless finish), I like to set it all using the Seventeen Define and Conquer Palette (dark on the contoured areas, light on the hilighted).
I then apply some blusher - MAC Warm Soul - to my cheeks, and MAC Lightscapade to hilight my brow bones and the tops of my cheek bones.
And voila!!
By the way, just LOOK at the glow that Lightscapade gives? It has definitely taken over the top spot in my favourite Hilight list!
Love the way you did the cheeks, they look amazing!
