Highlighter gives your face that fresh highlight without weighing down your whole makeup look. Going for subtle Glow, golden hour glow, or a bold shimmer? With the right highlighter, your skin shines in all the best spots.

What do you use a highlighter for?

You use a highlighter to bring forward parts of your face. Think cheekbones, nose bridge, cupid’s bow, and inner eye corners. The effect? Your skin looks fresher, your makeup gains depth and your face seems more awake.

See it as the final touch that ties everything together. Foundation evens out, bronzer adds warmth, blush gives colour and highlighter brings light. Especially on a Matte base, a bit of shine can make a real difference.

You can use highlighter for:

  • A natural everyday Glow

  • Extra light on your cheekbones

  • A fresh look at inner eye corners

  • More volume on your lips by highlighting the cupid’s bow

  • A Glowy evening look with extra shimmer

Want a soft glow? Choose a fine shine without chunky glitter. Prefer something bolder? Metallic or baked powders suit your look well.

Applying highlighter

Apply highlighter on the highest points of your face, where light naturally hits. Start with little product and build up gradually. This prevents harsh lines and keeps your Glow looking natural.

Use a fan brush or small fluffy brush for powder. Tap off excess and lightly sweep over your cheekbones. Blend liquid or cream best with your fingertips, a sponge, or a soft brush. Your finger warmth helps the product blend seamlessly into your skin.

The best spots are:

Cheekbones
The classic spot. Apply highlighter just above your blush and blend towards your temple to visually lift your face.

Nose bridge
A tiny touch on the nose bridge freshens your look. Keep it subtle, especially if your skin shines easily.

Cupid’s bow
A dab just above your upper lip makes lips appear fuller. Looks great with lipliner or gloss.

Inner eye corners
Perfect for tired eyes. A light shade instantly opens your gaze.

Tip from us: apply liquid formulas before powder. When using powder highlighter, apply it as the last step over your makeup.

What types are there?

There are powder, liquid, cream, stick and palette highlighters. Your choice depends on skin type, makeup base and desired finish. Powder gives more control, liquid looks fresh and cream or stick is perfect for quick Glow.

Powder suits skin that shines quickly or those who want to build a stronger finish. The Max Factor Facefinity Highlighter Powder is great for a soft, smooth shine without it quickly becoming too much.

Liquid works well for a dewy effect. You can mix a drop with foundation or just dab on the highest points. The Maybelline Master Strobing Liquid Highlighter lets you control your Glow’s visibility.

Cream and sticks are ideal on the go. They often feel softer on the skin and give a fresh, almost skincare-like finish. A duo-stick, like the NYX Wonder Stick, is handy if you want highlight and contour in one product.

Palettes are Perfect if you want variety. Think champagne for daytime, rosé for a fresh look and gold or bronze for evening. The MAC Highlighter collection mainly offers options for a smoother, more professional Glow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Highlighter

Want to know how to make your highlighter shine beautifully and which type suits your look? Below, we answer frequently asked questions about highlighter, colour choice and how to combine it with your makeup base.

Which colour highlighter suits my skin?

It mainly depends on your skin tone and undertone. For fair skin, pearly, soft pink and light champagne colours often look lovely. Medium skin pairs well with champagne and gold, while bronze, copper and deeper gold tones look stunning on darker skin.

Can you use highlighter without foundation?

Yes, you can definitely wear highlighter without foundation. Apply a small amount to well-prepared skin for a fresh, natural Glow. Cream, stick and liquid highlighters often work especially well here, as they blend easily with the skin.

How do you prevent highlighter from emphasising skin texture?

Choose a highlighter with a fine sheen instead of chunky glitter and don’t use too much product. Apply mainly to smooth areas of your face and blend well. If you have a lot of skin texture on your cheekbones, a soft liquid or cream highlighter can look more natural than an intense powder.
