You use highlight powder by applying it to areas of your face where light naturally hits, such as the bridge of your nose, Cupid's bow, and cheekbones, to create a luminous effect.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Choose the right shade: Select a highlight powder that complements your skin tone. Lighter shades work well for fair skin, while deeper shades are suitable for darker skin tones.
-
Use the right brush: A fan brush or a tapered highlighting brush works best for applying highlight powder precisely.
-
Apply to the high points of your face:
- Cheekbones: Apply along the upper part of your cheekbones, blending it towards your temples.
- Bridge of the nose: Apply a thin line down the bridge of your nose.
- Cupid's bow: Apply a small amount to the Cupid's bow (the dip in the center of your upper lip).
- Inner corner of the eyes: A touch of highlight in the inner corners can brighten the eyes.
- Brow bone: Apply just below the brow bone to lift the eyebrows.
-
Blend well: Blend the highlight powder seamlessly into your skin for a natural, glowing finish. Avoid harsh lines.
-
Build up gradually: Start with a small amount of product and build up the intensity as needed.
