Makeup Monday: Using Highlight

Makeup+Monday%3A+Using+Highlight

We can all agree that highlighting has changed the makeup game in many ways. It’s something that many people have become obsessed with and is now a major trend in the makeup and fashion world to follow.

Highlighter is a product used on the high points of the face to emphasize features such as the cheekbones, the brow bone, the chin, and the nose.

Some of the best and most raved about products are the Anastasia Glow Kits, the Watts Up Highlighter by Benefit, and the Tarte Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette, which are all priced around $40.

Highlights are usually applied with either a fan brush, a tapered brush, or a beauty blender.

Highlighting is something everyone looks forward to when doing their makeup, and brightens up an entire look.

Highlighter in pictures online can look very pretty and dewy, but in person, it can look very glittery. At times, highlight application looks overboard in person if you apply too much.

It’s best to apply just enough highlighter to emphasize your features, but not to the point of looking too glittery.
