I have a dramatic heart shaped face with very wide, high cheekbones. This didn't used to bother me until I lost some weight, and now my cheekbones are extremely high. I literally have these hollows in my face underneath my cheeks. Is there a way I can apply makeup so my cheekbones don't look so high?

Apply your blush slightly below your cheekbones.

I have very high cheekbones too, but I don't have hollows under my eyes. I think that you are seeing something wrong here. Kiera Knightley? High cheekbones with hollows under them. It's considered beautiful. Feel lucky you have high cheekbones. Thousands of people wish for what you have and never get it. If you REALLY don't want such high cheek bones, rub some foundation on so that the dark shadow that makes cheeks look skinny isn't so dark. For my models that I photograph ( amateur, not professional ) they sometimes will put a slightly dark shadow on their cheeks, aiming for the look you have. :)

Try a natural-looking bronzer instead of blush, and apply it softly (not "sculpting" the cheekbones) to the apples of your cheeks. Choose a nice shade that will reflect a bit of light. That should soften your angles a bit.

you can try to apply foundation to your whole face and apply blush a little off of your actual cheekbones.

i have high cheekbones, and the way i apply blush is i smile, and it will show you where the apples of your cheeks are. apply the blush to the little "fat" areas while smiling.

try a neatrual face toner on your whole face then apply a LITTLE bit darker toner on your cheeks not cheekbones

I think you should get in touch with a cosmotologist since they specialize in such things along with hair grooming. Good Luck.
