    Q) What's the best technique for faking cheekbones?
    A) Blush is not the best way to enhance or create cheekbones and can instead leave you looking like Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington Colby! Bronzer provides a much more natural look and also imparts a sun-kissed glow to your complexion. Pout’s Bronzer Duo has a darker and a lighter side and is perfect for adding a sculpted look to your cheeks. Start with the darker side, placing it just under the apple of your cheek and blend the bronzer out towards the centre of your ear. Finish with a sweep of the lighter side over the ledge above your apple and voila, you've got a natural-looking contoured cheek! – Adam Dargan, international make-up artist, Pout

    Is this even possible...ah I am a klutz! No prominent cheekbones, but can not fake them either...

    I have brush palette set which I think includes bronzer and highlighter :)

    My MUA told me to do a Nike tick to sculpt my face, which is pretty much the me a the tip above.. I wish I had seen this earlier though, less costly haha

    Great little tip - glad I came across it!

    contouring is really difficult on chubby cheeks, at least that's why i've experienced.

    Agree that contouring with bronzer can be useful if you can find a non-orange, matte colour. I start further back than below the apples of my cheeks though as I find that looks much more natural.

    I find contouring really difficult, hopefully these tips will help.

    I have been trying to achieve this contour thing, but failed, all the time.

    I do love a bit of bronzer for defining my face!

    great way to apply the bronzer. i loved the idea of having 2 shades in on product !

    Ooolala, this is great, I have never really known how to apply bronzer properly, this tip will be great for me to experiment with.

    The best bronzer I have found so far is a two in one from Estee Lauder, im loving it.

    I've tried bronzer before and it just looks so wrong on me.

    Works wondefully if well applied- be sure to practice BEFORE the day on which you want to go out and cause a scene, or it will be for all the wrong reasons!

    I wear a two in one bronzer and blush but I add a little underneath and it works wonders!!

    DanniiBeauty 4 Dec 2009 8:49 AM

    I love bronzer - its the best!!

    Tanh01 24 Aug 2009 11:58 AM

    I've always used a blush to try and contour my cheeks without much success. Definitely gonna try a bronzer after reading this article!! ^_^

    I dont do well with bronzers, though I have a contouring and highlight palette that is amazing :)

    akalalouie 19 May 2009 10:25 AM

    I'm quite fair-skinned so finding an appropriate bronzer is really hard; however, I am lucky to have ok-ish cheekbones, I'll just have to work on contouring them
