Why this worksBody highlighters reflect light, which enhances your skin's natural radiance. When applied correctly, they create a luminous effect that makes your skin appear healthier and more vibrant. The key is to choose the right placement and product for your desired glow.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Highlighter Select a body highlighter that complements your skin tone. Liquid highlighters often provide a more natural finish, while cream or powder options can add extra shimmer.
  2. Prep Your Skin Exfoliate and moisturise your skin beforehand to ensure a smooth application. Dry patches can disrupt the glow effect, so hydration is crucial.
  3. Apply Strategically Use your fingers or a brush to apply the highlighter to high points like your collarbones, shoulders, and shins. This will catch the light beautifully and enhance your natural curves.
  4. Blend, Blend, Blend Make sure to blend the highlighter into your skin for a seamless finish. Use gentle, circular motions to avoid harsh lines and achieve a natural look.
  5. Set It Right If using a liquid or cream highlighter, consider setting it with a light dusting of translucent powder to help it last longer without losing that glow.

Where people go wrong

Many people apply highlighter too heavily, leading to an unnatural look. Others forget to blend, leaving harsh lines. Lastly, skipping skin prep can result in a patchy application, so don’t overlook hydration.

The pro moveFor an extra boost, mix a drop of highlighter into your body lotion for an all-over subtle glow.
