How to Use a Highlighter Stick?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

A highlighter stick is used to add shimmer and radiance to specific points on your face. Here's how to use it effectively:

  1. Apply to the High Points: Focus on areas where light naturally hits your face. The reference video highlights these areas:

    • Top of Cheekbones: This opens up your eyes and adds definition.
    • Down the Bridge of Your Nose: Creates a slimming effect.
    • Cupid's Bow: Defines your lips and makes them appear fuller.
  2. Application Technique:

    • You can apply the highlighter stick directly to your skin.
    • Alternatively, you can apply some to your fingers and then dab it on your face. This gives you more control.
  3. Blending is Key: After applying the product, gently blend it into your skin. Use your fingers, a makeup sponge, or a brush. Avoid harsh lines; the goal is a seamless glow.

  4. Build the Intensity: Start with a light application and build up the product to your desired level of glow. It's easier to add more than to take away.

  5. Consider Your Skin Tone: Choose a highlighter shade that complements your skin tone. Lighter skin tones often look great with pearly or champagne shades, while deeper skin tones can pull off gold or bronze highlighters.

  6. Other Areas: You can also apply highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them or under the arch of your eyebrows to lift them.
