Are you referring to her cheeks?

Not exactly sure whether she used blush, bronzer, or a contouring powder, but you use any of those. And then she applied a highlighter. It could either be powder or liquid. That's just a preference. Not sure about drugstore highlighters, but a good high end liquid highlighter is Benefit highbeam. It would definitely match the highlight she has in the picture.

It actually doesn't look like she used bronzer or a contouring powder. It's probably a peachy blush.

First of all, the picture is probably slightly retouched in some way. But, for the effect, it looks like she began by contouring under her cheekbones like this: http://www.kissablecomplexions.com/2013/12/cream-contour-tutorial.html
Then, she set the contour with a contour powder (you could use a bronzer in this case because it's warmer), and maybe even a peach bronzy blush right above the contour and blended into it. Then, there's a very light highlight - I love ELF's Mineral Highlight (I believe the lightest shade is Spotlight) or Physician's Formula Pearls highlighter for that glowy effect right on top of the cheekbones.

She said she uses benefit hoopla to contour, and mac soft and gentle to highlight her cheeks.

Don't use bronzer to contour. Her cheeks are warm because of the peach blush but the contour is definitely a contour powder or cream contour because it has that cool almost grayish tone. Keep in mind that contouring does not go over the entire cheek its just to create an illusion or enhance bone structure creating a shadow. She definitely is using a highlighter as well. It looks like she had really dewey skin which could be created by using a dewy setting spray or mixing liquid highlighter with foundation or just a really luminous finish foundation.

Pearl cream color base from mac looks very similar to the highlight.

Thank you ladies!
Yes, the picture has been retouched but I still love her makeup, specially the colors she used on her cheeks. :)
