Why this worksA highlighter catches light, adding dimension and radiance to your skin. By strategically applying it to high points of your face, you mimic the natural glow of healthy skin. The key is to use the right formulas and application techniques for a subtle yet effective effect.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose the Right Highlighter Opt for cream or liquid highlighters for a more natural finish. These formulas blend seamlessly into the skin and create a dewiness that powder highlighters can’t match.
  2. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. A good skincare base ensures the highlighter adheres well and looks natural, so don’t skip your moisturiser.
  3. Apply Strategically Use your fingers or a damp makeup sponge to apply highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. This will enhance your natural bone structure.
  4. Blend, Blend, Blend Make sure to blend the highlighter well into your skin for a seamless finish. You want it to look like it’s part of your skin, not sitting on top.
  5. Set with a Mist Finish off with a setting spray to keep the glow in place. A dewy setting spray can enhance that natural finish and keep your skin looking fresh.

Where people go wrong

Many people apply too much highlighter, which can look unnatural. Others forget to blend, resulting in harsh lines. Using a powder highlighter in place of cream can also lead to a less radiant finish, so keep it creamy for that glow.

The pro moveConsider mixing a drop of highlighter with your foundation for an all-over glow.
