Killer cheekbones like
Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s can be yours with just a swipe of blush in a few key places.
• For cheekbones that pop, sweep a sheer shimmer powder along the top of your cheekbones and just under your temples. This will highlight your bone structure to make it look more pronounced. Next, pucker up to find the hollows of your cheeks, then dust a deep nude blush in the sunken area just under the cheekbone. Now smile and apply a peachy blush using the "cinnamon bun method"—use circular motions, starting at the apple of the cheek and slowly make larger circles with the brush. Try Mally Beauty Shimmer, Shape and Glow Face Defining System, which has all three blush shades.
• To hide a double chin, you'll need a contour powder which is a cool deep nude blush. It shouldn't have any sparkles or warm undertones. We like: MAC Powder Blush in Strada Sweep it just behind your ear, then under your jawline and all the way to your chin. Make sure to gently blend the powder into your neck as to avoid an unsightly line. "This little trick creates a shadow, which in turn makes your chin look less noticeable," says Roncal.
• If you want to make your nose less prominent, use a skinny crease brush and, starting at the inner part of your eyebrow, sweep a contour powder down both sides of your nose, over both nostrils. Join the lines under the tip of the nose. "Be sure to blend so you don't see lines, just shadows," says Roncal. Then gently swipe a matte highlighting powder down the center for a slimmer straighter nose. We like: Mary Kay Mineral Highlighting Powder in Pink Porcelain

For those of us over 40 that need to hide that double chin what a great story and glad someone finally told us how to do it! Keep up the good work Daily Makeover.com
The mineral powder really is the best for slimming a too wide nose, it doesn't get cakey or shiny and blends beautifully! Makes a big difference when you start at the eyebrow and not just the top of the nose. Great tip!
I like the suggestions very much about the double chin and the cheekbones. I have both these problems. I guess when I lose some of the weight I have put on recently, I will see a better outlook? Thanks for the advice until that day comes, Later from Debrinconcita in Portland, Oregon.
i guess it could help a little. not much though for me. Do you have any cheap makeup tips?
Wow. This sounds great. I am going to try it and see what results I will get. Thanks.
I Hope It WOrks
I reaaly wants that my makeup dosn't see..
who I do?
I love the Mary Kay mineral highlighter in porcelain. I have cool toned skin that is very fair & very sensitive. Does anyone know of a good cool toned matte mineral alternative to the MAC powder for camoflaging a double chin?
if you haven't already found something by now...I like Physician's Formula. It's great for sensitive skin and lasts well. I buy it in translucent, b/c my skin in very fair.
Thank you so much! I love the cheekbone idea,
I loe the idea of the nose (my nose is kinda wide) Hopefuly its works with my fair skin
Hey gals... you need to watch a beauty video in order to pick up the right steps for your make up. I love to watch beauty videos. It is great because I can see other people doing looks and the step by step approach makes it less complicated.One of my favourites is the MY Make upDVD trailer on You tube. International make up artist Fjordur Oexenhave gives plenty of general tips and tricks. check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Bj0yk1mZk. Iam sure you will like it the way i do.
