Although we’ve seen the makeup techniques of contouring and strobing make a splash amongst beauty mavens who are aiming for sculpted cheeks and a dewy finish, a new highlighting trick may be worth incorporating into your makeup routine. For makeup lovers obsessed with highlighting their cheekbones and brow bones to give them a radiant glow, chroming may help you perfect your highlighting technique to accentuate your favourite features and further define your face shape.

The term “chroming” was coined by MAC Cosmetics UK senior artist Dominic Skinner, after he used a champagne-coloured lipstick with a frosty finish to highlight the cheekbones, brow bones and eyelids. When catching light, the result is said to offer a fierce highlighted effect with a warm, bronzy finish. This simple trick is also a great way to save some money for those not wanting to splurge on expensive cream or powder highlighters.

For anyone looking to try this easy technique to illuminate their skin, simply swipe on the coppery, frosty lip shade on the tops of your cheekbones, underneath your brows and on your temples and blend with your fingers to give you a gorgeous and youthful glow. Here is a closer look at this new beauty trend, which has been making waves on social media.
