How do you use highlight powder?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

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.
