Highlight is everything, its like the icing on the
cake. It completes the whole look by adding that last final touch of glow and
dimension to your face. You can either go subtle or OTT but in my opinion you
can never have too much freakin highlight; just saying.
Where to highlight
To hit the nail on the head, finding out where to
highlight is essential. You can do this by looking in the mirror facing a light
which will bounce off and reflect, those areas that should be beaming a
lil'more with highlight. I alway highlight the highest points of my cheeks, my
button nose, the bridge of my nose, cupids bow and brow bone. Sometimes if I'm
feeling a bit fancy i'll highlight my chin and above my eyebrows for that extra
sun kissed goddess look, in another words - a glazed doughnut.
However, I feel like this is unique to your face
shape and structure. For example, I never connect my nose highlight from the
bridge to my button nose because I don't feel like it will compliment me at all, but
my mum does and that looks great on her.
Using a creme/liquid highlighter underneath your
foundation
This step is optional. But going in with a liquid
highlighter before applying your base is another way to make your highlight pop
offffff. I have oily skin, so using a liquid highlighter after finishing my
whole base is a big no, cause it makes me look ridiculously oily. So for best
results I use it under my foundation, which makes your overall base look glowy.
Perfect for minimal makeup days and you can always choose whether you want to
take it to the next level and use powder highlight too.
