Chrissy Teigen Shows Us Exactly How to Use Face Highlighter

Chrissy Teigen may have quit twitter, but thankfully her Instagram is up-and-running. This is good news since her posts are beautiful, hilarious and now educational!

In a recent snap, the star shows a close-up of her stunning face covered in what may seem like some funky Avatar Halloween makeup, but she’s actually mapping out her highlighter (the final step in contouring).

Since models spend most of their life getting glammed up (must be tough!), they often have the best makeup tips, so we’re sure that her highlighting game is totally on point.

Want to get a Teigen-worty glow? After applying your foundation, tap an illuminating concealer or highlighting cream in the areas that she has them here. Then blend with a makeup sponge or your fingertips. Top with some translucent powder and you’re done!

Are you a fan of highlighting and contouring? Will you try Chrissy’s technique this weekend? Let us know in the comments section below!
