8 Game-Changing Secrets to Steal From Makeup Artists

Anyone can easily create instant cheekbones through the art of contouring, says Oprah's makeup artist Derrick Rutledge.

Step 1: Keep three products in your arsenal: a base foundation, a contour shade and highlighter. The contour color should be only a shade or two darker than your base.

Step 2: Highlight what you want to accentuate, like cheekbones, and use the contour shade to define the hollows of your cheeks, just beneath your jawline, and around your temples.

Step 3: Blend well with a damp sponge, and finish by dusting your entire face with loose powder. The key is to see subtle definition, not streaks—especially when you want a natural daytime look.
