Step1

Step one is highlighting. Take the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Concealer Stick and use its light shade for highlighting under the eyes. Use it on the bridge of your nose and blend it out on the edges of your forehead. Apply some around the corners of the mouth and finally, on the sides of the nose.


Step 2

For step two, take the champagne shade from the Lakmé 9to5 Eye Quartet in Desert Rose and dab it onto the line of your cheekbones on both cheeks to make them appear more sculpted.


Step 3

Step three is contouring the face for which you either need a dark coloured foundation or a dark coloured concealer or even a dark coloured powder.  The trick is to use a shade lighter than your skin tone to achieve the right level of shadow play for a contoured look. You can opt for the Lakmé 9to5 Pure Rouge Blusher and use a dark shade to draw out the number 3 on both sides of your face. Use an angled brush and start making the three from the sides of your eyebrow, down to your cheekbone and complete it under you jaw bone.

This is the final step post which you should see your features more defined and your face a lot more camera ready. It’s no secret then that this is a celebrity trick for the red carpet and those cameras.
