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