how to do your highlight
Key Steps for the perfect highlights
- Key Steps for Perfect Highlighter Application:
- Prep the Canvas: Apply highlighter after your foundation, concealer, and bronzer to ensure it blends seamlessly, creating a dewy finish.
- Target the High Points:
- Cheekbones: Apply along the top of the cheekbones, blending toward the temples to lift the face.
- Nose: Use a small brush or finger to apply a thin line down the bridge and a tiny dab on the tip for a slimming effect.
- Cupid’s Bow: Dab a small amount on the dip above the upper lip to make lips appear fuller.
- Eyes: Apply to the brow bone (under the eyebrow arch) and the inner corners of the eyes for a refreshed, wide-awake look.
- Select Your Formula:
- Cream/Liquid: Ideal for a natural, dewy, or wet look.
- Powder: Better for oily skin and long-lasting hold.
- Blend Thoroughly: Use a fan brush or small fluffy brush for powder, and fingers or a sponge for cream, ensuring there are no harsh edges.
Pro-tips:
- Do: Start with less. You can always add more, but too much can look textured or unnatural.
- Don’t: Apply too close to the under-eye area, as this can highlight fine lines or texture.
- Do: Choose a shade that complements your skin tone—icy/pink for fair skin, champagne/gold for medium, and warm gold/bronze for deeper skin.
