Or should I say cherub cheeks. Either way, I've got 'em and am looking for ways to make them a less prominent feature of mine. Advice?

You can look into contouring.

Well, I'm not going to going to attempt to explain that one because I tried to do so for a friend and she looked a hot mess. lol. Just go to YouTube and type in how to contour in the search box and a whole bunch of tutorials will pop up. I had to watch several different one's and practice many times before I got it down right. Once you do....you will be hooked for life and wonder why you didnt think of this sooner. The two tools I suggest getting your hands on....Sephora Contour brush #74 and Ecotools stippling brush. Oh, for the contour powder I suggest going with either a matte foundation powder that is a few shades darker than what you normally use or a matte bronzer that has no orange undertone to it. :)

I think you have great cheek bones :-) you wouldn't need to contour really because you have it already but if you want to try I would lightly add just a shade darker to the sides of cheek hallows with liquid foundation verses bronze powder. Like Shelley said it's kind of hard to explain.but blend till faint you don't want it to show a line just blend with brush upwards to your temple by then you should be able to see a difference then add your blush to the apples of your cheeks.oh and I use a contour shadow brush for my cheeks when contouring I find that it helps blend in well for me. Hope this helps :-)

you should embrace those cherub cheeks! dont worry i got em too. but when i got into blushes i thought it was so cute that it made my cheeks pop...not trying to sound conceited lol. As Shelley mentioned, start contouring your face, youll notice the difference instantly. its so cool
