Contour for the dummies...Like me

Hello Lovelies!
Today I am going to show you how I define my cheeks, with a Bronzer, Highlighter and a piece of paper.
The funny part is that I am really good at drawing on paper(I will show you lol), but I suck at Makeup! What is wrong with me ? (lol) But thanks God I always have little tips to help me achieve the results that I want.
Ps: excuse my face, I couldn't take decent pictures today.

What I do: I put the piece of paper under my cheekbone, and I apply the bronzer with a Kabuki brush, starting from the ear toward the mouth.

...I know the demarcation is very OBVIOUS but now you have to buff it in(doing the E or 3 movement) using the same brush.

...I then apply a bit of highlighter on top of the cheeks and Voilà, done!

Before/After

The Bronzer: everyday Minerals
The Highlighter: E.L.F in Luminance
The Brush: Everyday Minerals (I recommend ! less than $10 for an incredibly soft brush)
and a Piece of Paper.

...I love Fashion Toast lol

TGIF!
