Highlighted cheeks

Ysis Lorenna at Le Beauty Girl has perfected the art of highlighting, as demonstrated by this natural cheek highlight. It's so natural we had a hard time spotting it in the first place. To get the look, try one of our top-rated highlighters, like Benefit Watt's Up, $30, or work in a touch of blush and bronzer with The Body Shop Shimmer Waves, $22.

A dab of gloss

In addition to making your lips, well ... glossy, dabbing a sheer gloss with a high-shine finish like MAC Plushgloss, $20, at the center of your done-up lips promises to create the illusion of fuller, more luscious lips. Do you agree?

Contouring and blush

Blogger Orla Richardson of Makeup Over Mind shows the slight definition contouring can add to your cheeks and how it only increases when you blend in a blush. Want to try it for yourself? Pick up a contouring blush like NYX Powder Blush, $3.50 -- bloggers swear by the Taupe shade for contouring.
