Today we will provide you with a step by step guide on how to apply highlighter perfectly. So, without further ado, let's start, shall we?
How To Apply Highlighter Perfectly?
Things you will need:
•
A
shade
of
liquid
foundation
that
best
matches
your
skin
tone.
•
Liquid
concealer
or
foundation
that
is
lighter
than
your
skin
colour.
•
Powder
highlighter.
•
Foundation
sponge
or
brush.
•
Blush
brush.
•
Eyeshadow
brush.
Step by step application:
Step 1: Apply foundation and concealer
• First and foremost, clean and moisturize your skin, then apply liquid foundation (the one that matches your skin tone) all over your face with the help of a foundation sponge. Make sure you blend your foundation well. If you have a darker skin tone, make sure you blend the foundation to the midway of your neck. This will make the difference between your face and neck less obvious.
• If you have minor imperfections or dark circles or in areas where you plan to apply highlighter, apply a concealer.
• Now, apply a few dots of concealer on your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, under your eyes, down the centre of your forehead, and on the crease on your chin. Blend the concealer properly.
Step 2: Highlight your cheekbones
•
With
the
help
of
a
blush
brush,
apply
highlighter
from
your
temples
to
the
top
of
your
cheekbones
making
it
into
a
C-shaped
curve.
•
For
a
subtle
effect,
apply
only
one
layer
and
for
intense
effect
apply
more
than
one
layer.
Step 3: Highlight the tip of your nose
•
Take
a
little
bit
of
highlighter
on
your
fingertip
and
then
dab
it
on
to
the
tip
of
your
nose.
•
Move
your
finger
up
and
down
to
blend
the
highlighter.
Step 4: Highlight the centre of your forehead
•
Apply
some
highlighter
at
the
centre
of
your
hairline,
sweeping
it
downwards
towards
the
centre
of
your
forehead
to
the
bridge
of
your
nose.
•
For
a
more
intense
look,
sweep
the
highlighter
down
the
bridge
of
your
nose.
Step 5: Highlight your eyes
•
Dab
a
little
highlighter
on
the
eyeshadow
brush
and
then
sweep
it
across
the
inner
corner
of
your
eyes.
•
For
a
more
intense
look,
apply
a
couple
of
layers
or
else
a
light
dusting
will
do
just
fine.
•
Apply
highlighter
on
the
outer
edges
of
your
brow
bone
and
you
can
extend
it
towards
the
crease
of
your
eyelids.
Step 6: Highlight your Cupid's bow
•
The
centre
of
your
upper
lip
is
called
the
Cupid's
bow.
Highlighting
this
area
will
draw
more
attention
to
your
lips.
•
Dab
a
little
amount
of
highlighter
on
your
fingertips
and
press
it
gently
on
this
area
right
above
your
lips.
Do
not
apply
on
your
lips.
Step
7:
Highlight
the
centre
of
your
chin
•
Sweep
a
little
bit
of
highlighter
on
the
centre
of
your
chin,
but
make
sure
you
do
not
apply
too
much.
A
little
dusting
would
be
just
perfect.
•
Highlight
your
chin
in
line
with
the
highlighter
on
your
forehead.
Highlighter Tips For Beginners
For first-timers, here are a few tips and tricks that will help you in acing your makeup.
• It is very important to choose the right highlighter that matches your skin type. For oily to combination skin, go for a powder highlighter. For dry skin, cream or liquid formula will work best.
• For your highlight to look great, it is very important that you use the right makeup tools. If you are using a cream or a liquid formula, synthetic brushes are the best. For a powder formula, a fantail brush would be the best choice.
• Lighting plays a crucial role while applying any kind of makeup. Opt for natural lighting during the day and softer lighting during the night. This will help your makeup look good.
There you go, ladies, with a little bit of practice, you will definitely nail your highlighting skills.
