There’s no denying that a good highlighter is the key to looking fresh, glowing and youthful – especially as we head into the warmer months.
Highlighter brightens your skin, minimizes dark shadows, accentuates your cheekbones and gives the appearance of a healthy, hydrated skin.
The key to applying it is in the letter “C” shape, outwards from your temple bone along the top of your cheekbone.
By applying it to the underside of your brow bone and along the bridge of your nose – you’ll brighten up your complexion and give your face added dimension and vibrancy.
Create the illusion of a fuller pout by putting a small dab of highlighter on your cupids bow.
From liquids to powders, these are the best new products that are guaranteed to give you that coveted glow.
