How to find the ideal highlighter for you according to the brightness you want

Just like when you choose what clothes to wear each morning, when applying makeup you must ask yourself what mood you are in and what look you want to obtain. Some days you want to look more natural while on others you want to run your face through a plate of glitter and like Rihanna, shine bright like a diamond! But you think that if you've seen one illuminator, you've seen them all, right? It turns out not. There's a lot more to this gleaming wonder than you might think - from the textures to the way you apply it, everything can vary.

Moist or dewy skin

 

How to give your skin a fresh and healthy appearance with a shiny finish? In addition to keeping it properly hydrated, you can achieve this with a liquid highlighter. It's easy to blend, easy to use, and the easiest to blur. Being liquid, it becomes the most versatile highlighter. You can use it before foundation to give your skin an overall glow, put it in specific spots on foundation to give it a spot glow, or you can mix it with foundation to create a dewy , or dewy look . It is definitely the ace up the sleeve of every beauty expert.

 

A matte highlight

 

If you are a primiparous in the art of highlighting, the cream highlighter is going to be your best ally. It is easy to use and requires no brushes or specific tools (apply with your fingers). It can also help you reduce the amount of foundation and concealer you use . By shining on the points where the light would hit your face (the center of the forehead, the highest point of the cheekbones and under the eyes) you get the light to bounce off any imperfections, so you will see that you end up having to put on a lot of makeup lighter.

 

For those who want a little more shine, powder highlighters are the way to go. If you are one of those who are inclined towards impact makeup, apply the powder highlighter with a fan brush on the cheekbones, under the browbones, on the nose and at the corner of the lips after you have applied makeup and get a insta-glam touch. Just make sure your skin is completely dry before you start or the powder will stick to wet patches and build up if you're not careful. And if you are looking for a more subtle effect, make up the rest of your face (in the middle of the forehead, around the nose, under the eyes) with a matte powder so that only the parts of your face that you have illuminated shine.
