How to use highlighter?
Using highlighter is a great way to add a luminous glow to your face and enhance your features.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use highlighter:
Prep Your Skin: Start by preparing your skin with your regular skincare routine, including cleansing, moisturizing, and applying primer if desired. A well-prepped and hydrated base will help the highlighter blend seamlessly.
Apply Foundation and Concealer: Apply your foundation and concealer as you normally would, ensuring that your base makeup is even and well-blended. This provides a smooth canvas for the highlighter.
Choose the Right Highlighter: Select a highlighter that complements your skin tone and desired look. Consider the shade, finish, and formulation that you prefer, such as powder, cream, liquid, or stick highlighter.
Determine the Placement: Decide where you want to apply the highlighter. The most common areas for highlighter application include:
Cheekbones: Apply the highlighter on the highest point of your cheekbones, starting from the outer corner of the eye and blending towards the temples.
Brow Bones: Apply a small amount of highlighter on the brow bone, just below the arch of your eyebrows. This helps lift and define the brows.
Bridge of the Nose: Apply a thin line of highlighter down the bridge of your nose to create a subtle glow and enhance the center of your face.
Cupid's Bow: Apply a small amount of highlighter on the cupid's bow, which is the curve of your upper lip. This adds dimension and draws attention to your lips.
Inner Corners of the Eyes: Apply a touch of highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes to brighten and open up the eye area.
Optional: You can also apply highlighter on the center of your forehead, chin, collarbones, or shoulders for an all-over radiant effect.
Apply the Highlighter: Depending on the formulation of your highlighter, you can use different application methods:
Powder Highlighter: Use a fluffy brush or a fan brush to pick up the product and gently sweep it onto the desired areas. Start with a light hand and build up the intensity if desired.
Cream or Liquid Highlighter: Use your fingertips or a damp makeup sponge to apply and blend the product onto the skin. Gently tap or pat the highlighter onto the areas you want to highlight, and then blend it out for a seamless finish.
Stick Highlighter: Apply the stick directly onto the desired areas and blend it out using your fingertips or a brush. The warmth of your fingers helps melt the product into the skin for a natural look.
Blend and Soften: After applying the highlighter, use a clean brush, sponge, or your fingertips to blend and soften the edges. This ensures a seamless transition between the highlighted areas and the rest of your makeup.
Build Up the Intensity (Optional): If you prefer a more intense glow, you can layer the highlighter by repeating the application process. Start with a light layer and gradually add more product until you achieve the desired level of luminosity.
Set Your Makeup (Optional): If you want to prolong the wear of your highlighter and set your makeup, you can lightly dust a translucent setting powder over your face. Be careful not to disturb or dull the highlighter in the process.
