Using highlighter as eyeshadow is a simple way to add sparkle and dimension to your look.
To effectively use highlighter on your eyelids, the key lies in strategic placement and blending. Highlighters, often creamy or powdery, can be applied directly to the lid to create a shimmering effect that catches the light.
Here's a simple method incorporating effective blending techniques:
- Preparation: Ensure your eyelids are clean and potentially prepped with a primer to help the highlighter adhere better and last longer.
- Application: Start applying the highlighter from the inner corner of your eye. This brightens the area and opens up the eye.
- Blending: Blend the highlighter towards the outer corner of your eye. Use circular motions with a soft blending brush to create a gradient effect. This gradual blending leads to a seamless transition, preventing harsh lines and ensuring a smooth, diffused shimmer across the lid.
- Build Up: For more intensity, you can layer the highlighter. Apply a little, blend, and then apply a bit more to build the desired level of shine.
This technique emphasizes a smooth application path and careful blending to integrate the shimmering effect naturally onto the eyelid, turning your highlighter into a versatile eyeshadow substitute.
