Highlighter gives your face that fresh glow without weighing down your whole makeup look. Going for subtle Glow, golden hour shine, or bold shimmer? The right highlighter makes your skin glow in all the best places.
What is a highlighter used for?
You use a highlighter to bring certain parts of your face forward. Think cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, and inner corners of the eyes. The effect? Fresher skin, more depth to your makeup, and a just-woken-up look.
Think of it as the final touch that ties everything together. Foundation evens out, bronzer adds warmth, blush adds colour, and highlighter brings light. Especially with a Matte base, a little shine can make a big difference.
You can use highlighter for:
-
A natural everyday Glow
-
Extra light on your cheekbones
-
A fresh look at the inner eye corners
-
More volume on your lips by highlighting the cupid’s bow
-
A Glowy evening look with more shimmer
Want a soft glow? Choose a fine shine without chunky glitter. Fancy something more noticeable? Then a metallic or baked powder suits your look well.
How to apply highlighter
Apply highlighter to the highest points of your face where light naturally hits. Start with a little product and build it up gradually. This way you avoid harsh lines and keep your Glow beautifully natural.
Use a fan brush or small fluffy brush for powder. Tap off the excess first and lightly sweep over your cheekbones. Liquid or cream blends best with your fingertips, a sponge or a soft brush. The warmth of your fingers helps the product melt seamlessly into your skin.
The best spots are:
Cheekbones
This is the classic spot. Apply just above your blush and blend towards your temple. This visually lifts your face.
Bridge of the nose
A little on the nose bridge gives a fresh look. Keep it subtle, especially if your skin tends to shine quickly.
Cupid’s bow
A touch above your upper lip makes lips look fuller. Beautiful combined with lip liner or gloss.
Inner eye corners
Perfect when your eyes look tired. A light shade instantly opens up your gaze.
Tip from us: apply liquid formulas before powder. If using powder highlighter, apply it last over your makeup.
What types are there?
There are powder, liquid, cream, stick, and palette highlighters. Your choice depends on your skin type, makeup base, and desired finish. Powder often gives more control, liquid looks fresh, and cream or stick is ideal for a quick Glow.
Powder is great if your skin tends to shine or you want to build a more intense finish. The Max Factor Facefinity Highlighter Powder is beautiful if you seek a soft, smooth shine without it getting too much too fast.
Liquid works well for a dewy effect. You can mix a drop into foundation or dab just on the highest points. The Maybelline Master Strobing Liquid Highlighter is great if you want to control the visibility of your Glow yourself.
Creams and sticks are perfect 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 convenient if you want highlight and contour in one product.
Palettes are Perfect if you want variety. Think champagne for daytime, rose for a fresh look, and gold or bronze for evenings. The MAC Highlighter collection mainly offers options for a smoother, more professional Glow.
