High cheekbones vs low cheekbones
Introduction
High cheekbones are considered a desirable facial characteristic and are also called a “facial beauty.” They’re typically inherited, so if you have them, consider yourself lucky. Low cheekbones, on the other hand, aren’t as widespread and can be caused by several factors including genetics, poor diet or medical conditions. If you want to appear as though you have high cheekbones but don’t naturally possess them, there are makeup techniques that can help.

If you have high cheekbones, it means that the bones just below your eyes are higher than the rest of your face. High cheekbones are considered a desirable facial characteristic and are also called “facial beauty.” They’re typically inherited.
A person with low cheekbones has facial features that appear to be sunken in or hollowed out from behind their eyes downward toward their jawline. A person with low cheekbones may have other features that make them look older than they actually are.
In general, high cheekbones are unique to each individual since no two faces are alike; however, some people who have high cheekbones do not consider themselves beautiful because they may find these prominent bones unattractive or distracting from their overall appearance

In contrast to high cheekbones, low cheekbones aren’t as widespread and can be caused by several factors including genetics, poor diet, or medical conditions. Genetics is a common cause of low cheekbones. For example, if you have parents with pronounced cheeks then it’s likely that you’ll inherit their bone structure as well.
Poor diet is another common reason for having low cheeks. If you’re not getting enough vitamin A in your food during childhood it could affect how much fat you store around your face and make it appear more sunken than normal.
Medical conditions such as celiac disease (an allergy to gluten) can also contribute to this shape by causing malabsorption of nutrients like calcium and iron which hinders the growth of bones including facial ones
High Cheekbones Contour
High cheekbones can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the shape of your face. If you have high cheekbones and a rounder face, then highlighting and lowlighting will help draw attention away from the widest part of your face (your cheeks) and instead focus it on your eyes. To do this, create an inner shadow with a matte bronzer that is one shade deeper than your natural skin tone along the inner corner of each eye and along the top of each cheekbone extending up towards the temples. Be sure not to apply bronzer directly onto these areas but rather use it as an accentuation tool by applying it in small amounts or using a brush or makeup sponge to blend it into your existing foundation/primer/base products.
To prevent looking overdone, apply just enough product so that there are no harsh lines between where you’ve applied product and where you haven’t! This means doing small sections at a time until all areas are covered evenly with color – even if this means repeating steps like blending out edges over again until they look flawless!
Contouring is a makeup technique that uses different shades to create depth and dimension.
Contouring is a makeup technique that uses different shades to create depth and dimension. It’s used to emphasize certain features of your face, such as your cheekbones or jawline, creating the illusion of higher cheekbones or a more defined jawline.
This can be done by applying a darker foundation and concealer on areas where you want to look more sculpted, like the hollows under your cheeks or around your temples. Using a lighter shade of foundation in these same areas will help make them appear less deep when they’re blended together with the darker shades.
Contouring also works well on wider faces since it gives shape and definition while slimming down any excess width (in other words: drawing attention away from a large forehead).
Highlight and lowlight contour
There are two different types of contouring: highlight and lowlight. The main difference between them is that the highlight contour applies a shade lighter than your natural skin tone to create a shadow effect, while the lowlight contour applies a shade darker than your natural skin tone to create definition.
The purpose of both highlight and lowlight contouring is to define the shape of your face by enhancing certain areas while making others recede into darkness so they appear smaller or less defined. This creates a more flattering appearance overall because it makes your features appear softer and more balanced, with no harsh lines or edges anywhere on your face.
The highlight can be applied under the eyes, down the bridge of the nose, and over the top cheekbone.

Powder contouring is a technique where you apply a light shade of powder to only the high areas of your face. This will create shadows on your cheeks, jawline, and forehead that give off an illusion of depth and dimension. The easiest way to apply this is with a large powder brush!
Powder contour
To create the illusion of high cheekbones, use a powder that is a shade or two darker than your natural skin tone. Apply it with a soft brush to the high points of the face and blend upward and outward with a large, fluffy brush. This will help to emphasize those cheekbones while making them appear more prominent.
Apply powder only to the high areas of your face.
The high points of your face are the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and forehead. Highlighting these areas will make your face appear slimmer and more defined. Apply powder only to these areas with a brush or puff, as opposed to sweeping it over the entire face with a brush or sponge.
Tips for contouring
If you have low cheekbones, you’ll want to highlight them. To do so, use a small brush and apply a light dusting of powder high in the hollows of your cheeks. You can also use a cream contour shade or even an illuminator if you don’t want anything too dark—just make sure it’s blended out!
For those with high cheekbones, creating shadows is key. Use an angled brush to apply darker shades right where your bone structure starts (right underneath the apples) as well as on any other areas that need definition. Be careful not to go too heavy here—you don’t want to look like Dracula! For even more depth, blend matte bronzer into this area followed by highlighting above it with light shimmery shadow or highlighter.
It’s important to use the right tools when using makeup to contour your face.
If you have high cheekbones and want to highlight them, it’s important to use the right tools when using makeup to contour your face. A brush or sponge will help you apply the powder evenly across the skin, while a foundation that has a matte finish will give you an even base for contouring. Choose a bronzer with a matte finish as well; too much shimmer can make your cheekbones look unnatural. Lastly, set everything in place with a translucent powder to create long-lasting results without giving off any unwanted shine!
Now that we’ve got all our tools together and know how best to use them, let’s move on from application tips and get into where exactly on our face we should apply each product:
A person who wants high cheekbones if they don’t have them can use makeup to give them definition.
If you’re a person with high cheekbones, you are lucky! You have a natural advantage when it comes to makeup application. You can highlight and contour your face without having to do much work. However, if you have low cheekbones or just want more definition in that area of your face, there are still some products available that will help lift them up.
- Highlighters: These products give the illusion of higher cheeks by using light reflection to make features appear raised on the surface of your skin. They’re usually used on areas like the bridge of your nose and the inner corner of your eyes.
- Contouring: This technique makes shadows look like they’re coming from underneath cheekbones as opposed to above them (which is what happens when applying bronzer). Contouring involves darkening areas underneath bones so they appear higher than they actually are—like how it looks when someone has hollowed out their cheeks with a knife before going out into public.”
Conclusion
High cheekbones are considered a desired trait, but it’s important to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their own ideas about what makes someone beautiful, and you can use makeup to your advantage to create any look you want.
