Make Up Basic & Essential Must-Knows/Tips : Highlighting

Highlighting to eccentuate your features;
-Tear DuctHighlighting the tear duct area will instantly make you look more awake and make your eyes appear brighter.
-Brow Bone

Highlighting the brow bone will give an uplift to your eyes as it makes your eyebrow arc appear higher.
-Nosebridge
Highlighting your nosebridge (as wells as contouring the sides of your nose) will help to give an illusion that you have a higher and sharper nose.
-Cupid's Bow

Highlighting your cupid's bow will give an illusion of fuller looking lips and create a bit of a pout.
-Cheek Bones
Applying a highlight on your cheekbones(and contouring the hollows of your cheeks) will instantly make you look like you have high cheekbones and make your face appear slimmer.
