Highlighter, you’ve heard of it and it’s amazing abilities to give you a glow like no other product can but have you used it? It’s common for makeup beginners to have trouble figuring out exactly where highlighter should be placed, don’t worry here’s the guide for you!
If you didn’t know highlighter is a product that gives your face a glowing finish. It’s a shimmery product, that is applied to the face. It comes in both liquid and powder forms, but is commonly used in powder form! Highlighter is very easy to use and gives your skin a bright and rejuvenated glow like no other product can.
It’s good to apply a highlighter where your face naturally catches light, in other words, the high points of your face. Let’s go over where that is exactly!
How do I apply highlighter?
It’s fairly simple, grab a highlighter brush it looks like this:
- Dab the brush into the highlighter palette, if you think you’ve picked up to much highlighter hit the brush against the pallete and any additonal fallout will come out
- Gently brush the highlighter on your cheek above your blush: This will give your skin a dewy and bright glow pretty awesome right?
- Lightly apply some highlighter on the tip of your nose, you can also apply a bit on the bridge of your nose.
- Right below the brow bone: This is going to give your eyes a bigger apperance, while also giving them a defined look. Also it’s best to use a smaller, more defined brush when doing this area.
- A tiny bit on the cupids bow: This can actually give your lips a fuller and plumper appearance!
- Inner Corners: For those of you who really love highlighter then this is for you! You can apply a little bit of highlighter on your inner corners to give your eyes a subtle glow!
- The center of your chin: This is for those with a oval or longer shape face, and if you want to round it a bit applying a bit of highlighter on your chin can help you with acheving that.
