How To Fake Supermodel Cheekbones

With Spring 2015 New York Fashion Week still fresh in our minds, there has been quite a buzz around the beauty and fashion trends seen on the runways. While these trends vary from season to season, one thing that remains the same is the ever-adored and coveted supermodel cheekbones. So what's the best way to recreate this look even if you aren't a regular on the runway? Here's a simple guide on how tofake it ‘til you make it as the next big thing.

Step 1: Start with dewy skinMakeup artists are constantly creating dewy-skin looks on models, which gives a healthy glow and sheen. Mix a little illuminating serum with your foundation or BB cream to give your skin instant radiance.

Step 2: ContourThis is the easiest way to define your cheekbones, but it must be done right. There is nothing worse than contouring that is muddy-looking or is too dark.  Highlighting and contouring can be a tricky undertaking at first, so I’ll let you in on a little trick: Make a fish face in the mirror. Contour where the natural hollow forms in your cheeks. Although the choice between a cream- and powder-based product is totally up to you, I think a natural-looking bronzing powder is a great product to start with. Using light strokes,  apply the product with a blush brush to the hollows of the cheeks until you see definition start to form.

Step 3: Pop the cheeks 
Adding a pop of color to the apples of the cheeks will bring the contouring technique full circle, by allowing your cheekbones to stand out more. I love using cream blush on the apples of the cheek as it blends smoothly and leaves a dewier effect, blending well with the concept of tip #1.

The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.
