Glowing skin is always in! A well-applied highlighter can give you that ‘I woke up like this and glowing from within’ look. Highlighter is one of the best ways you can enhance your beauty because it can instantly elevate your base makeup and make your makeup look stunning. But it also depends on what kind of highlighter you use.
Choosing your makeup product based on your skin type is crucial. If you have a dry skin type, the powder highlighter won’t really go smoothly if your skin isn’t well moisturised. If you want a more natural glow you can go for a liquid highlighter and you want that extra glam look, cream highlighter is your best choice. But no matter which highlighter you choose, blend the product really well. Make sure you blend your highlighter really well either with a brush or with your fingers. Here’s all you need to know about how to choose and apply highlighters the right way. Here are some makeup steps for oily skin which you can follow.
Now that we know the basics of applying highlighter, let’s see 5 places you can apply your highlighter for a striking glow!
5 Places To Apply Your Highlighter And Shine
1. Cheekbones
This one is very obvious and the most common place to apply your highlighter when it comes to your face. You can apply it using a highlighter brush or even a normal base makeup brush. Take some of the product on the brush and apply moving it upwards your cheekbones. In case you are using a liquid highlighter, you can use your fingers or a beauty blender to apply the product. Your face will look much more lively and cute after this step.
2. Inner Corner Of Your Eyes
A glamorous eye makeup look always consists of a super beautiful highlighter in the corner of your eyes. Here you can not only put your basic glowy highlighter but also you can layer it up with some fun eyeshadow colours if you want. Just take a small eyeshadow packing brush, get some highlighter on it and place it in the inner corner of your eyes. And, voila! Your eyes will look so gorgeous that you won’t stop clicking selfies.
3. Brow Bone
While we are talking about the eyes, how can we forget eyebrows? When it comes to makeup, eyebrows frame your face and make it look more put-together.
