4. Highlight
Get controlled shine by using a liquid highlighter, like L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glow Amour Glow Boosting Drops ($15, at drugstores), on the bony parts of your face. (Think cheekbones and brow bones.) "Blend well with damp fingers so it's not too concentrated or shiny in any one spot," says Warren.
