Highlight is what the name actually says: you highlight your best features and also create dimension to your face. You place the product where the sun usually hits the face to create natural highlight, such as your upper lip, above the cheekbones, in the inner corner of your eyes, the tip of your nose and under the eyebrow. For more drama, for pictures or clubbing, you can extend these areas to the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. But with care, because highlights are used to make the are brighter and more shinny.
Once more, you have a lot of picks when it comes to textures and colors (but keep in mind that all have a very sheer, but shimmery payoff). They can be liquidy, creamy, pressed or loose powdered. You can also use a eyeshadow that is light colored.
How to apply:
1. Above cheekbones: for that Victoria Secrets model look you need to place the product from the eyebrow to the nose, but don't put a lot of product under the eye because it can emphasize dark circles or bags.
2. Under the eyebrows and the inner corner: you place the product here in order to highlight the brow and eye. When doing your eye make-up, in these places you apply the highlight first or last, to brighten the eye and make it stand out. I recommend placing it last for a better color show). Tap and blend it so it wont stand out.
3. Above the upper lip: in order to make the lips bigger an fuller. I recommend a cream product here, because it stays put for a longer time. Tap it and slowly blend it.
4. Tip of the nose: another useful trick to make your face awake and dewy is to put a little product on the tip of the nose.
What I use:
* ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder, shade Luminance;
* ELF Shimmery Facial Whip, shade Pink Lemonade.
