Whether you're wanting to draw attention to your eyes, highlight your cheekbones or plump your pout, (the right) metallic accents can make all the difference.

To illuminate the eyes:
For a soft, subtle finish, use a gloss or cream-based highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes, blending out towards the center. Crave a more dramatic finish, like Michelle's (above)? Opt for an opaque liner with a shimmer or glitter finish.

For the cheeks:
Sweep a sheer, shimmering highlighter on your cheek/brow bones to catch light and create that "lit from within" glow.

On the lips:
Create the illusion of a plump pout by dabbing a (matching) light-reflective lip gloss in the center of your lips, over your chosen lipstick/gloss.
