How to get dolphin skin:

Step 1: Apply a generous amount of metallic gold illuminator to the higher portion of your cheekbones, on the temples of your forehead and gently down the bridge of your nose.

Step 2:Add a vibrant pink-toned blush to the apples of your cheeks, and tap it in using your fingertips from your cheek to the upper temples of your forehead.

Step 3: Finish the look with a glowy setting spray.
Olivia's pick: Iconic London Prep Set Glow Hydrating Spray -- available in two radiant tones.

Bonus tip: Add an extra pop to the look by applying a clear glass-like lip gloss to your pout.
