"Hi! I'm Kelli. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you some tips and techniques that I use to give your face an overall perfect canvas. The next thing we're going to do is just apply a little bit of highlighter to her cheekbones and her brow bone to give her a little bit of a lift. We're going to use this really nice soft shade of powder that has just a little bit of luminescence to it. We're just going to sweep this up her cheekbone. It just gives her a little bit of a shine, a little of light reflective property. You can put a little bit on her temples, her bridge of her nose, and just take a little bit and sweep it across her brow bone to lift the eye. This will just give her a really nice bright lifted appearance. It'll extenuate the cheekbone structure. It will highlight and lift the brow area. Since we did a little bit of contouring on each side of the nose, to slim the appearance of the nose, just a little strip of white there will really slim the appearance of the nose. That's how you would want to use a highlighter."
