How to Get Sculpted Cheekbones

Sculpted cheekbones, like those of actress Keira Knightly, are in high demand. Not everyone is born with structured cheekbones, so we have to work with what we got. Knowing the right makeup technique can make all the difference. With the technique discussed in this article, it's possible to achieve a Keira look of your own.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Apply a foundation to the face as normal. This should be a foundation that is as close as possible to your natural skin color.

2. Using a foundation that is darker than your skin, apply a diagonal line directly under your natural cheekbone line. Use a wedged sponge applicator to apply the foundation.

3. Blend in the foundation in an upper motion. Up and then towards the temple of the face.

4. If you decide to wear blush. Use the same technique. Use darker shades directly under the cheekbones and lighter shades on the apple of the cheeks.
