How to apply highlighter in face?
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Highlighter
1. Choose the Right Highlighter
- Type: Highlighters come in various forms such as powder, cream, and liquid. Choose one that suits your skin type.
- Shade: Select a shade that complements your skin tone. For fair skin, opt for champagne or pearly shades. For medium skin, go for peachy or golden tones. For dark skin, choose bronze or deep golden shades.
2. Prep Your Skin
- Cleanse and Moisturize: Start with a clean and moisturized face.
- Foundation and Concealer: Apply your foundation and concealer as usual to create an even base.
3. Apply Highlighter
- Tools: Use a highlighter brush, makeup sponge, or your fingers, depending on the type of highlighter you are using.
4. Highlight the High Points of Your Face
- Cheekbones: Apply highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones. Start from the middle of your cheekbone and sweep towards the temple.
- Brow Bone: Apply a small amount under the arch of your eyebrows to lift and define your brows.
- Bridge of the Nose: Lightly apply highlighter down the bridge of your nose to make it appear straighter.
- Cupid’s Bow: Dab a bit of highlighter on the Cupid’s bow (the area above your upper lip) to enhance your lips.
- Inner Corners of Eyes: Apply a small amount to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten and open up your eyes.
- Center of the Forehead and Chin: Lightly apply to the center of your forehead and chin to add balance and glow to your overall look.
5. Blend Well
- Blending: Ensure you blend the highlighter well to avoid any harsh lines. Use a damp makeup sponge or a clean brush for a seamless finish.
6. Set Your Makeup
- Setting Spray: Finish with a setting spray to lock in your makeup and keep the highlighter in place all day.
Tips for Applying Highlighter
- Less is More: Start with a small amount of product and build up if needed. It’s easier to add more than to take away.
- Match the Formula: Use cream highlighters over liquid or cream foundations, and powder highlighters over powder foundations for a cohesive look.
- Lighting: Apply highlighter in natural light to ensure it looks natural and not too harsh.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-applying: Avoid using too much product which can make your skin look greasy instead of glowing.
- Wrong Placement: Highlight only the high points of your face, not the entire face.
- Not Blending: Failing to blend properly can result in harsh lines and an unnatural finish.
By following these steps, you can achieve a beautifully highlighted face that enhances your natural features and gives you a radiant glow.
