Using tinted highlighter involves applying the product to the areas of your face where light naturally hits to create a radiant glow and enhance your features with a subtle hint of color.
The core steps are straightforward: apply to the high points of your face, then blend.
Simple Steps for Applying Tinted Highlighter
Follow these easy steps to effectively use your tinted highlighter:
- Identify High Points: Locate the areas on your face that naturally catch light. According to the reference provided, these include your cheekbones, brow bones (just under the arch), and down the center of your nose. You might also consider the cupid's bow above your upper lip or the inner corner of your eyes for extra pop.
- Apply Product: Gently apply the tinted highlighter directly onto these identified high points. Start with a small amount, as you can always build up the intensity if needed.
- Blend: Once the product is placed, it's crucial to blend it seamlessly into your skin. You can achieve this by blending out the product with a soft brush designed for highlighters or using your fingers for a more melted, natural finish. Blend using light tapping or sweeping motions until there are no harsh lines.
Why Highlight These Areas?
Applying highlighter to the high points helps to bring those areas forward, creating dimension and a lifted appearance on the face. Tinted highlighters add the benefit of incorporating a touch of color, which can complement your blush or bronzer and add extra warmth or coolness depending on the shade.
Tinted highlighter is a versatile tool to add radiance and definition to your makeup look with ease.
