"Hi my name is Lauren with makeup by Dodge and today we will be discussing how to make your cheekbones look higher. So when you look at your cheekbones you are going to see that there is a natural, there is the apple of your cheek and then there's the plain of your cheek just right under your eye socket. This will be followed by a hollow which you will use a shadow to pull just right underneath your cheekbone. This is a little dark so you can lighten it up with a little of your medium color and then also before we apply the highlight on top of the cheekbone if you put a little shadow just right above the cheekbone it will make it pop automatically. The idea between highlight and shadow is shadow is going to make the eye believe that that area is pulling away from the surface and the highlight will make the eye believe that it is coming towards the surface so naturally it will just pop. So for the highlight take your lightest color and put it just on your cheekbone. You can do this with powders as well, with contouring powders or to make it look a little more natural you can use foundation like we just did today."
