Perhaps you have seen highlighter at the cosmetic counter or in the drugstore. These products are fantastic for providing a youthful and healthy glow to your face. They can definitely brighten up your makeup.
Highlighters are an alternative to the full contouring that we have discussed in previous blog articles.
Begin with a clean face. Exfoliating is recommended because highlighter calls attention to dry, flaky skin. Moisturize prior to applying makeup and allow the product to seep into skin for about a minute before proceeding.
Put on your foundation as usual, making sure to blend any lines of demarcation with a sponge or fingers.
Apply your blush and be sure to blend any hard edges. You want to look as though you are glowing, not like you are obviously made up. It isn't necessary to have blush on when you want to use highlighter on your cheeks, but the contrast with the flush and highlighter looks very good.
Select a highlighter that works for you. If you want a subtle effect, use a powder. For a glossy sheen, use a crème formulation. You should also take into consideration what is most flattering on your skin tone. Gold-hued highlighter blends in more effortlessly into skin with warm undertones, while a silvery highlighter compliments cool undertones.
Dab the highlighter on the tops of cheekbones to bring out your bone structure. When the highlighter catches the light, your face appears subtly chiseled and more defined. You may also experiment by patting a spot of highlighter onto the apples of your cheeks instead if you want to look more youthful. In either case, remember to blend the highlighter into your blush before you head out.
