How Do You Use Tinted Highlighter?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

Tinted highlighter can be used to add a subtle wash of color and highlight to your face. Apply it to the inner corner of the eye for bigger, brighter looking eyes and along the brow bone to lift the brows.

Here’s a more detailed look at how to use tinted highlighter:

Where to Apply Tinted Highlighter

  • Inner Corner of the Eye: Applying tinted highlighter here will brighten your eyes and make them appear larger.
  • Brow Bone: Applying it along the brow bone will lift the brow and add definition.
  • Cheekbones: Dust lightly on the high points of your cheekbones for a subtle glow. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone.
  • Bridge of the Nose: A tiny dab down the bridge can create the illusion of a longer, more defined nose.
  • Cupid’s Bow: Applying highlighter to the cupid's bow (the dip in your upper lip) can make your lips appear fuller.

Tips for Using Tinted Highlighter

  • Choose the right shade: Select a tinted highlighter that complements your skin tone. Lighter shades work well for fair skin, while deeper shades are better for darker skin tones.
  • Use a light hand: Start with a small amount and build up the intensity as needed. It's easier to add more than to remove excess.
  • Blend well: Use a brush or your fingers to blend the highlighter seamlessly into your skin. Avoid harsh lines.
  • Consider the finish: Tinted highlighters come in various finishes, such as shimmer, glitter, and satin. Choose one that suits your preferences and the occasion.
  • Match to the rest of your makeup: Ensure that the tone of the tinted highlighter complements your overall makeup look for a cohesive finish.

By applying tinted highlighter to strategic areas and blending well, you can achieve a radiant and healthy-looking complexion.
