How to Place Contour, Blush, Brows & Highlight for Sunset Eyes

Sunset Eyeshadow: Color Placement

• Apply a warm orange or peach shade through your crease as a transition color.
• Blend a red or pink shadow onto the outer corner and along the lower lash line for depth.
• Press a shimmery gold or champagne on the center of your lid for a glowing effect.
• Blend edges thoroughly so colors melt together like a real sunset.

Contour Placement for Balance

Since sunset eyes are bold, contour should subtly define rather than overpower your features. For most face shapes, sweep contour powder or cream just under the cheekbone, blending upward. Lightly contour the jawline and sides of the forehead if desired. Makeup Check AI can scan your selfie to identify your exact face shape, ensuring your contour enhances your natural structure.

Blush: Shade and Position

Choose a neutral peach or soft rose blush to complement the warm sunset tones without clashing. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending slightly upward toward the temples for a lifted look. Placement may vary by face shape - use Makeup Check AI to see your ideal blush zone.

Brow Shaping and Highlight Placement

• Brow: Keep brows softly defined and in proportion with your eye look. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in sparse areas, following your natural shape. Avoid overly bold brows that compete with your eyes.
• Highlight: Apply a subtle, champagne-toned highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and just under the brow arch. For a cohesive look, avoid cool or icy highlights - stick to warm undertones. Makeup Check AI detects your skin undertone to match your highlight perfectly.
