Where Should I Put Highlight?

Published in Makeup Application 1 min read

Highlight should be applied to areas of the face where light naturally hits, enhancing your features and creating a radiant glow. These areas include:

  • Cheekbones: This is the most common placement, accentuating the structure of your face.
  • Cupid's Bow: Applying highlight here makes your lips appear fuller.
  • Brow Bone: Highlighting under your brow bone lifts the eye area and creates a more defined arch.
  • Inner Corners of Your Eyes: This brightens the eyes and makes you look more awake.
  • Under-Eye Area: Carefully applied, highlight can help conceal dark circles and brighten the under-eye area. Be cautious not to overdo it, as this can emphasize texture.
  • Center of Your Eyelids: A touch of highlight on the center of the lid can make your eyes pop.
  • Bridge of Your Nose: A thin line of highlight down the bridge can make your nose appear slimmer and more defined.
