Tutorial 1: Contour and Bronze

Lucinka Under The Sea Box

The Shell brush is perfect for precision contouring and bronzing. Bronzer is a must-have for a healthy, sun-kissed glow. I also use a bronzer to subtly define features too. The velvety finish of thisĀ Chanel Bronzer, Ā£40,Ā leaves your skin with a beautiful sun-bathed look.

I apply this lightly onto places where youā€™d usually contour: under the cheek bones, on the hairline, the temples, the sides of your nose and yourĀ jawline. The thin edge of the Shell Brush makes this really easy! Of course, blending is key so blend, blend and blend again to get a subtle look.

1. Apply bronzer under your cheekbones, in your hairline and on your nose

3. I then used the Shell Cheek Brush to add very subtle definition to my features, nothing to heavy or obvious.

Tutorial 2: Highlight Your Face and Body

Highlighter is a must-have in the summer and it’s my favourite way to add a healthy glow. Although cheekbones definitely get the most attention when it comes to highlighter, I don’t stop there, I also love to highlight my cupid’s bow, my nose and my collarbones to add definition and shimmer for a special event!

I love theĀ MAC Highlighter Palette from the brandā€™s Hyperreal range.

I adore this trio of pearlescent hues – they add such a high impact sheen!

1. Highlight your cheekbonesĀ 

2. Highlight your nose

Highlight down the bridge of your nose and on the tip of your nose. This really opens up your face and add glow where your skin would naturally shine.

3. Highlight your collarbones

Now for my favourite part! If you are wearing a strappy top or strapless dress, this tip is a must. Add some highlighter to your collar bones for supermodel definition.
