My wardrobe of white tees and medium denim (with a couple all-black outfits thrown in for good measure) is my own established norm. So colour me shocked when this season I found myself drawn to sparkle and shimmer.

Don’t be confused”I haven’t started wearing sequins and lamé©. That would be a step too far past my comfort zone.

Move over contouring”it’s strobe time. Bringing light to your face is always a good idea to illuminate those stunning features you’ve got going on. Our recommendation?

Apply right to the high planes of your face (brow bone, cheek bone, nose and cupid’s bow) for a lit from within high impact look. For a more subtle glow, use your finger to apply on the skin and blend to the sheerness you want, suggests Grace Lee, lead makeup artist for Maybelline New York Canada. The more you blend, the less shine.
