While it may seem super simple, let us assure you that getting a flawless makeup look is far from easy. When we look at celebs we think that all one might need to do to get chiselled cheekbones is to put on some contour and then dust off some highlighter and we'll end up looking perfect. However, things like how you apply the products and where you apply them matter a lot. Take a look at these tips from MUA's that will help you get those perfectly chiselled cheekbones.

While it’s extremely essential to apply a highlighter on your cheekbones to make them pop, you can also accentuate the effect by modifying the way you do your base. Begin by applying a concealer a shade or two lighter on your under eye. Powder this area well. As you highlight the under eye, it creates a three dimensional look, making your cheekbones prominent in the process.

This step is often ignored, but trust us, if you want your cheeks to look chiselled, you'll need to turn your face into a seamless canvas. “The most important stage of applying makeup is prepping the skin,” says Geoffrey Rodriguez, a celebrity makeup artist. So make sure that you face is clean and moisturised before you start applying your makeup. Once your face is prepped, move on to your foundation.

Once your face is prepped, opt for a foundation shade that is exactly the same shade as your skin is. If you opt for something lighter or darker it will show. Then use a bronzer or foundation that is two shades darker than your skin tone and use it to contour. “Apply just below the cheekbones, then gently blend into foundation and set with a loose powder. Next, apply the highlighter at the top of the cheekbones.”

One thing all you girls need to keep in mind is that when it comes to making your cheekbones pop, less is definitely more. “My preference is to opt for a more natural, not overly-contoured look, so I like to use highlighter sparingly,” says editorial makeup artist Maddie North. She says that you should apply the highlighter in parallel lines to the cheek hollow as this will give you the best results.

With a blush, you won't really know what works best for you until you try a few different shades. Try and opt for a slightly darker shade as it'll help create the illusion of more sculpted cheekbones. Whatever colour you choose, start by brushing the colour slightly inwards, towards your nose starting from the very base of the cheekbones.

There are a number of fab highlighters out there that you can use. Just apply some of it on your cheekbones (remember less is more) and you should be good to go.
