  (Un) Natural  Cheekbone Contouring If you read my last post on nose contouring, you will see that the good ol’ gene pool didn’t pass down a straight one. But it did however, pass down some cheekbones. But have no fear, you don’t need to have naturally chiselled cheeks to fake some seriously amazing ones. By using some contouring [...]

Flow from Progressive and I [...]

So I thought I would continue that fun and share them with you as well. We have all (including myself) at some point made a [...]
