SOME ladies fork out thousands of pounds on a boob job, but one beauty blogger has shown how to get the same breast enhancing effect using make-up.

shows how to increase your cup size without going under the knife – using a contour stick, highlighter and other items you probably already own.

The 21-year-old registered nurse, from Brisbane, Australia, tells her many make-up loving fans: “I’m going to be showing you how I use my secret little tips and tricks to go from small little boobs, to nice big accentuated boobs.”

Natalie starts her tutorial by using a dark contour stick to draw a V-shape around her boobs, a line under her collar bone, and marks around the natural hollows in her chest.

She adds: “Now I’m going in with a light cream highlighting shade. I’m just gonna put this anywhere that I haven’t used that dark contouring colour.

“The purpose of highlighting and contouring is to create shadows, and bring the lighter areas forward. So by doing this we are going to accentuate that area.”

Natalie then begins blending with a brush, before switching to a damp blending sponge.

She adds: “I’m going to blend out even more until my arm feels like it’s about to fall off – and really soften out any of the products that we’ve put on our chest because we want it to look like skin, not lines.

“Now I’m just taking my regular face setting powder and dusting this all over my chest, because we want to set those cream products in place so they don’t smudge.”

Natalie then uses yet ANOTHER dark contour powder, over the top of the cream stick she started with.

She adds: “This is going to deepen up those areas even further, and create that shadow like appearance.

“This can look super harsh at first, so it’s really important that you blend that product out as much as possible.

“Now I’m going back in with my natural powder brush again. Like everything in make-up, we don’t want any harsh lines.”

Next, Natalie uses a Naked illuminator to highlight her chest.

She adds: “We’re gonna really bring this area forward and give us a beautiful shimmer that’s gonna pop those areas.

“If you’re going to an event, putting a little bit of highlighter on your body can give that extra little bit of glamour and it really does up your look.

“Especially if you’re wearing something that shows your chest off.”

She then uses yet another shimmer, adding: “Now for the last step put on your best push up bra, and we’re pretty much done.”

What do you think? Is it worth the effort for that extra lift?
