Highlighter can add a point of light to a makeup look. The finish depends on the product, the amount used and where it is placed. Use the directions on your product and start with a light application.
1. Choose the finish you like
Highlighters come in different formats and finishes. Check the product description and images to understand what is offered. If a shade or finish is not clear, ask the seller before ordering.
2. Decide where you want emphasis
Common placement areas include the tops of the cheekbones and other raised points of the face. There is no single placement that suits every face or makeup style. Try one area first and see how it looks in the lighting where you will wear it.
3. Use a small amount
Follow the product directions and use an appropriate clean applicator. Apply a little, blend the edges, then add more only if you want a stronger effect. If the product is a cream or liquid, check its label for application instructions and compatibility with other products in your routine.
4. Check the result in natural light
Indoor lighting can change how colour and shine appear. Take a look in daylight and adjust the placement or amount to your preference.
Keep tools clean
Use clean hands or tools and follow the care instructions for your applicator. Avoid sharing personal makeup products.
