Precisely Apply Contour
“Contour and blush placement is key in achieving lift,” says Barry. To ensure you’re applying it in the right place, Barry recommends finding your cheekbone and applying a cream contour or bronzer beneath it to create shadow and depth, repeating the technique along the jawline. To blend it out, he swears by the Artís Oval 6 brush. “It really hugs the shape of the cheek bone giving you great definition,” he adds.
Stay Hydrated
“One extremely important nutrient that often gets over-looked is water,” explains Heather Mangieri, R.D.N., a sports and wellness dietitian in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “Even slight dehydration can negatively impact mood, energy levels, and the ability to focus.” She adds that dehydration can also result in dry skin that appears more wrinkled.
To make sure you get the amount of water you need, Mangieri says to start drinking first thing in the morning and continue throughout the entire day. “Filling a large water bottle in the morning and taking it with you wherever you go can help you remember to drink,” she adds. (Just ask Oprah!)
