"A great way to add glamour to your makeup look is to add a little bit of a shimmer or a highlight to the high points and I am going to demonstrate to you how to do it. I am basically using a cream shimmer product and I am going to apply it with a concealer brush. First I am just going to spread out the product a little bit so I don't have too much on my brush. Now I am going to look at Sheena's high points and they are clearly the cheekbone area, the brow bone, as well as the bridge of the nose. And that is where I am basically going to apply a little bit of the shimmer. It s going to give her a nice almost out of this world glow which I think look really pretty at night in sort of a candle light situation or dim light situation. And you can always use either your hands or a little blending sponge to blend it into your skin. This particular shimmer is almost, has a little bit of a silver quality to it. You can find shimmer in any possible shade with either gold or bronzy colors. I am going to do the same thing on this side as well. Again, brow bone, cheekbone, and at last I am going to add a little bit also right on the bridge of the nose."
