Begin any beauty regimen with a good face wash and lotion. Keep your skin hydrated and clean to help lay the foundation for healthy skin that can naturally take makeup well.

Suck in your cheeks and look into a mirror to better see your cheekbones. Using a large makeup brush, apply a light bronzer powder in a sweeping motion directly below your cheekbones.

Start at the apples of your cheeks, near your nose, and lightly sweep the powder up toward your temples and hairline, creating an illusion of a shadow below your cheekbones.

Smile into the mirror to further define the apples of your cheeks and apply a light pink or rose blush in a circular motion to help them stand out against the bronzer.

Add a light shimmer for an extra glow. Apply a cream highlighting shimmer with your fingers or makeup sponge or a powder with a blush brush. Put this only on the apples of your cheeks and be careful not to add too much--a little goes a long way here.
