According to the folks at Fashionista, clavicle contouring is a secret ace in the hole that the cognoscenti of the beauty world pull out of their back pockets when a little extra oomph is called for.

Typically deployed for major events like a wedding or a red carpet foray, contouring one's collarbone can impart a more "lifted" look to your body by helping to define your "lines". Translation: If you accent your bones just so you'll look more angular and dancer like.

Naturally, this trick isn't something you need employ if you're wearing a turtleneck or anything else that covers up your shoulders but if you have a strapless dress or a cute tube top lined up for an event this summer, you may just want to give your clavicle some love.

Here, according to Smashbox's Laura Scheirhorn, is how to call attention to this under-appreciated part of your body in two simple steps:

• Apply a shimmery body moisturizer to your entire upper body. (Scheirhorn and GOOP-y Gwyneth both give two phat thumbs up to Prtty Peaushun for just this sort of thing.) Follow with a douse of luminizing primer over the exposed chest area.

• Swipe a facial highlighter that's at least a shade lighter than your complexion on top of your collarbone -- anywhere you imagine the light would/will hit it. "I'll apply it literally right on top of the collarbone so that it's popping up a little bit and it gives a beautiful, really ethereal contrast," Scheirhorn says. (Smashbox makes the Halo Highlighting Wand which "changes the way light reflects on the skin" that's perfect for use in this situation.)

And, that's it -- much more simple than attempting to contour your face and purportedly the type of thing from which compliments are born.
