Use Light Tones to Highlight
One of the best ways to define cheekbones that I've found is using light tones to highlight your cheeks. You can actually use light blush, light foundation (which we'll explore next!) and even use some lighter colors to really highlight those cheekbones!

Contour
Contouring is another key thing that you've got to do if you want to really learn how to define cheekbones! Contouring might seem really difficult in the beginning, but it's easy ladies! You just have to make sure that you look up the right tutorial and you should have no problems contouring at all and really highlighting your cheekbones!
Contouring involves using a matte shade slightly darker than your skin tone to create shadows and depth, just underneath your cheekbones. By sweeping this darker shade in the hollows of your cheeks and blending thoroughly, you give your face a sculpted look. Don't forget to highlight! A touch of shimmer on the top of the cheekbones can make them pop and enhance the effect of your contour. Remember, blending is your best friend to achieve that seamless transition. Practice makes perfect, and with time, your contouring skills will make those cheekbones look sharper than ever!

Oh, how I love blush! Whether you are using pink or coral blush, blush is absolutely another way to define cheekbones that a lot of people don't use! Just a little, tiny bit of color to the apples of your cheeks can go a really, really long way ladies!
