Glow liquid highlighter is best applied by pressing it into the skin using a sponge to evenly distribute the pigment. This technique ensures a smooth and natural-looking glow.
Step-by-step Application Guide:
Here's a detailed guide on how to effectively use liquid highlighter:
-
Dispense the Highlighter:
- Start by dispensing a small amount of the liquid highlighter onto the back of your hand or a palette. This helps control the amount of product you apply.
-
Prepare Your Sponge:
- Use a damp makeup sponge for optimal application. The dampness helps the product blend seamlessly into the skin.
-
Pick Up the Product:
- Lightly dab the makeup sponge into the dispensed highlighter.
-
Press and Blend:
- Instead of wiping or dragging, press the sponge onto the areas you want to highlight, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow.
- Use a gentle pressing motion to evenly disperse the pigment into the skin, as mentioned in the reference video.
- Avoid harsh strokes to prevent disturbing the base makeup and ensure a diffused, "fluffy" look.
-
Build if Needed:
- If you desire a more intense glow, add more highlighter with the same pressing technique.
Key Takeaways:
- Avoid Dragging: Don't drag or wipe the highlighter on your face, as this can create streaks and move your base makeup.
- Use a Sponge: A damp makeup sponge ensures a smooth and even application.
- Press, Don't Rub: Always press the highlighter into your skin for a flawless look, as described in the reference video where it's advised to "press press press press press press".
- Build Gradually: Add product in layers to achieve your desired intensity of glow.
