Watercolor Makeup: Step 3
Watercolor Makeup: Step 3 Next, you want to highlight the key features of the face. Apply highlighter on the bridge of the nose, the Cupid's bow and the inner corners of the eyes. Fun fact: You don't have to use a traditional highlighter. Actually, a rose gold eye shadow works even better for this look. (Barnes used the E.L.F. Aqua Beauty Molten Liquid Eyeshadow, $4, in Rose Gold, but if you want something even more reflective, try Milk Makeup Holographic Stick, $28, in Supernova.)

Barnes says watercolor makeup is all about the mood (much like an Impressionist painting). So, the goal is to make the cheeks look a little more theatrical and "magical." In order to increase the dimensional quality of the cheekbone structure, he used E.L.F. Aqua Beauty Blush & Bronzer, $6, applying the blush higher on the cheekbone near the hairline, and brushing a bit of bronzer across the jawline, cheeks and hairline.
