Ever wonder how the stars get that Hollywood glow? Highlighter is a product coveted by everyone from Chrissy Teigen to Kim Kardashian West.
And when placed strategically on the high points of the face, this light reflecting powder, liquid or cream can take your look from average to amazing.
To use, simply dab a small amount of product onto the tops of your cheekbones – working from the apple of each cheek up towards the hairline. This adds light, makes skin appear more hydrated and decreases the look of fine lines. It will create a gorgeous pearlescent glow that flawlessly reflects light from all angles.
Dusting a shimmer powder on your décolletage is another surefire way to get the party started. Apply it beneath the brow bone to lift the eye or add a touch of product to the eye’s inner corner for a fresh, modern look.
Softly highlighted cheeks are always a winner. Using a fan brush, dust a powdered bronzer below the cheekbone before applying a shimmery cream or powder blush. Remember, creams can work in tandem with powders once the application remains light.
Quick tip – Dab a bit of shimmer on the top of your cheeks to instantly brighten and illuminate your face. Be sure to choose just one feature to accentuate so your highlighting stays subtle.
