Kate Moss is the most iconic model of our time.

Her characteristic that really sticks out

are her prominent cheekbones,

so I m gonna show you how to carve those out

and really make your own cheekbones pop.

I m Kayleen McAdams,

and this is Beauty Icons, Kate Moss.

So I m dipping a fluffy contour brush

into a cream bronzer.

It has a tiny bit of shimmer,

but you don t want it to be too much.

You really wanna emphasize the hollows of your cheekbones.

So as you can see, I m drawing a line

from the top of my ear in towards the pupil of my eye.

And when you re looking straight on,

you don t wanna put the product any further

past the pupil of your eye.

And that s gonna give you that perfect line.

So I m just blending along the hollows of my cheekbones.

And now I m just going back over it with a powder bronzer

with no shimmer, just to help set the look

so it ll really give you a lot of staying power.

And just keep blending it in.

You can put a little on your forehead,

just to kind of give that defined look.

It s really subtle though, you re just using

what s left over on your brush.

And you can just do it on the corners,

but make sure you get it right along your hairline.

And now I m gonna take a powder highlighter

with a smaller brush,

and I m applying it right along the tops of my cheekbones.

And this is gonna simulate that light,

and it adds a lot of structure to your face.

You wanna highlight your cheekbones.

And now I m using just a really subtle rosy blush.

I m just applying it very lightly

onto the apples of my cheeks.

And that s gonna make this look really wearable,

it gives you that little glow.

And I m just blending it all in.

You want it to look seamless.

And there you go, runway-worthy cheekbones.

Okay, so this is my finished look.

I would love to know what you think.
