Hey, I would like to know how you ladies apply your bronzer, contour, highlight & blush? I would like to know what areas of your face you apply each to & also the order in which you apply them. Thanks! : )

I apply a matte bronzer to the hollows of my cheeks, the temples of my forehead, slightly down the sides of my nose, and very lightly on my jawline down to my neck. I put blush on the apples of my cheeks, but I do it so super soft that it looks like I'm barely wearing it, and as for a highlight, that's part of my foundation routine, I do it with concealer.

Thanks ladies. I know everyone has their own way of doing makeup but was just curious, especially when it comes to contour & bronzer.

I lightly apply a cream shadow contour by Ben Nye in the hollow of my cheek bones,my temples, and by the corner of my jaw before my foundation so I can blend everything together and avoid harsh lines. After I set my foundation with loose powder, I sweep a matte bronzer over my temples, my cheeks and jawline, and will dust whatever is left over the dorsum of my nose. I don't apply blush, ever.

Highlighting: If I use a liquid or cream I will usually dab it on the highest point of my cheekbones after foundation, and before I set the rest of my face with loose powder. If I am highlighting with a slightly lighter powder, I just press the powder into the skin on my under eye area and extend it to the point where my brow bone and cheekbone meet, and sweep excess with a fluffy powder brush.
