I'm glowing with highlighter, can't you see? The highlighter has become an essential element in any makeup bag. Its main task is to highlight the cheekbones or the nose, but the truth is that it has other applications such as eyeshadow for the eyelids or as a lip liner. Do you want to know how to use the highlighter to get the most out of your looks?
With this trick you will be able to highlight your upper and lower eyelids with the intensity or subtlety that you need. To illuminate the contour of your eyes, you should use a shadow with a metallic finish or a specific highlighter, instead of a normal one, since the pigment particles that come off during its application could damage your eyes. Also, if you want to give it a touch of color with another shadow, you should always put it on before the highlighter.
Although you're going for a similar effect to conventional lipstick, it's crucial that you only apply the highlighter to the center of the lip edges. We explain how to enhance the volume effect of your lips in the most comfortable way:
Applying the illuminator above the eyebrows is a technique that drinks from contouring that serves to hide the size of the forehead. The difference is that this trick does not seek three-dimensionality or a lifting effect, but consistency with the rest of the face. If you have applied highlights on your cheekbones, cheeks or nose, there is no point in leaving the forehead bare or matte.
Illuminating the upper third of the face, blurred and in small amounts, is vital to achieve a look with a natural finish. You can take advantage of the excess of the brush or use a drop of creamy highlighter and apply it directly with your fingers. You can also illuminate the arches of the eyebrows so that the homogeneity of the makeup is complete.
