A beautiful highlighter is always a good idea, but during the holidays you can go all out. Time for highlighter, but... how do you apply it most beautifully? Fortunately, that is no longer difficult after the tips below. Time to get started!
Choose your favorite highlighter
So many highlighters, so many choices, which one do you choose? There are different types of highlighters available and we are happy to explain the difference. Powder highlighter is the most common form, which you often apply with a brush. Then you also have liquid highlighter , which you can apply directly to your skin, but you can also mix it with your day cream or foundation , for a glowy skin.
With powder highlighter you can choose from different types, the difference is often in the pigmentation. You have subtle highlighters that leave a beautiful shine or glitter, but there are also highlighters that provide a striking pearly shine, which contains a hint of color.
Find out which highlighter you like best; there is no good or bad choice!
Where do you apply the highlighter?
Now that you have chosen a beautiful highlighter, it is time to apply it. Many people think that you only apply highlighter to your cheekbone, but there are so many more possibilities! You can also apply the powder in the inner corner of your eye and under the arch of your eyebrow, for an open and bright look. No eyeshadow within reach, but still want a complete eye look? Then apply the highlighter over your entire eyelid and you will be provided with a shiny look in no time!
Full lips are almost everyone's dream, and you can achieve that effect with highlighter! Apply a subtle touch of shimmer to your cupid's bow, you know, in the middle of your upper lip. You can also apply a little powder under your bottom lip, for an extra plumping result.
In addition, you can apply highlighter not only to your face, but you can also accentuate your body. What about your collarbones? Apply some highlighter subtly, in the direction of your collarbone and they will be even more beautiful.
Brushes
To apply the highlighter, you can use different types of brushes. We would like to explain below what the difference is between brushes:
Eyeshadow brush
Are you planning to apply your eyeshadow in, for example, your inner corner or on your brow bone? Then it is best to use an eyeshadow brush . Because this brush is a bit smaller, you can apply your highlighter very specifically.
Fan brush
The most common brush to apply highlighter with is an oval or slanted brush . This makes it easy to apply highlighter to your cheekbones, for example.
Blending brush
Is your highlighter a little too obvious for your liking? Don't panic: with a blending brush you can blend your highlighter, just like you would with eyeshadow.
