Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Contoured Cheekbones
Severe contouring may be too heavy for summer, but you can still use contouring techniques to fake Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's chiseled cheekbones.

After applying foundation, suck in your cheeks to see where shadows naturally fall. Then, use a contour brush to apply a foundation two shades darker than your natural complexion under the cheekbones. Use the brush to buff away any harsh lines, until your skin looks natural and blended. Dust blush on the apples of the cheeks, and add highlighter on top of the cheekbones to complete the look.

Rihanna's Tailored Brows
To recreate Rihanna's flattering brow shape, start by making sure the inner edges of your brows are in line with the top of your nostrils. Sweep your brows upward with a spoolie brush. Then, use a brow powder brush to fill in each arch with brow powder (choose one that's slightly lighter than your natural brow hair), starting from underneath the brow and working upward. This will help you create a defined edge. At the top of your brows, use a powder that's another shade lighter to fill in any patches.

Jennifer Lopez's Luminous Highlighter
Brighten your eyes and overall complexion with J-Lo's go-to beauty weapon: highlighter. Use a curved contour brush to blend a shimmery cream highlighter on top of your cheekbones, in the center of your forehead and under the arch of each brow. You'll exaggerate the points of your face where light naturally hits, making your skin look more radiant and youthful.

Karlie Kloss' Lifted Lashes
Steal Karlie Kloss' hyper-curled (but falsie-free) fringe by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler, starting from the root. Press on the curler a few times from root to tip for maximum curl. Follow up with three to four coats of your favorite volumizing mascara. Separate the lashes and remove clumps with a lash comb.
