A highlighting duo pencil is used to enhance and brighten specific areas of your face and eyes. Here's how:
Application Techniques
Face Highlighting
- Target High Points: Apply the highlighting pencil to the areas where light naturally hits, creating a sculpted and radiant look.
- Upper Cheekbones: Glide the pencil along the top of your cheekbones, blending gently with your finger or a brush.
- Bridge of the Nose: Apply a thin line down the center of the nose to make it appear more defined and sculpted.
- Tip of the Nose: Add a dab of highlighter to the very tip of your nose for a subtle lift.
- Cupid's Bow: Highlight above your cupid’s bow (the dip in your upper lip) to enhance the shape of your lips.
Eye Highlighting
- Radiant Look: Use the highlighting pencil on your brow bones or inner corners of your eyes to open them up and add brightness.
- Eyeshadow Base: Apply the highlighter to the entire eyelid as a base for your eyeshadow to enhance color payoff and longevity.
