"The next thing we're going to do is lightly contour the face with a bronze and a blush. It's really important to just slightly contour because it's going to make you look a little more define in your photos. So I'm going to start with a soft bronze color and I'm going to lightly swoop it right across her face, right underneath the cheekbone. And make sure you pull your brush all the way back to your ear because you don't want it to stop right there where you have a line. And just make sure you blend it really well so you don't have any edges cause you want it to all fuse together and look natural like you naturally have that indented cheekbone. And you can use the tip of your brush if you would like. It helps get really in that one spot. And then turn your brush and kind of blend it out. Also, I'm going to lightly go under her cheek, under her chin and on her neck cause a lot of the times necks are whiter right in this area than your chest or your face. You kind of want to just put it altogether, bring it altogether by brushing a little bit of bronzer. And then lightly dust it all over, to add that extra warmth. And then I'm going to go in with a nice little pink blush on the apples of the cheek, "smile", and then I'm going to pull my brush back right along the cheekbone, right above where you just did that contour, and that's going to give you a nice glow. Then I'm going to go in with the highlight color on the top of the cheekbone. It's just about a shade or two lighter than her natural skin, and I'm just going to lightly apply that to the top of her cheekbone, right to the top of where you just applied that blush, and that's going to give her really nice contour and make her cheekbones stand out a little more. And then you can kind of just blend it altogether. So that's how you want to contour your cheeks for your wedding day."
