Highlighters are great, if you know how to use them. But for many of us we're just not sure to do with the illuminating wonders. Luckily we're on hand with some tips to perk up your skin.
Apply highlighters over your make up, on your cheekbones or anywhere you want to catch the light, such as your decollatage. It will take your skin from pasty to glowing.
Make sure you blend it in well so that the glow looks like it's coming from your skin and not on top of it. Good blending will also ensure that you don't look too made up.
Some highlighters are thick enough to wear as a foundation but others can be mixed with moisturiser and applied to the whole face for an all-over glow.
Finally, if you don't like you nose, one trick is to use a highlighter down the middle of it to make it appear slimmer. Genius!
Highlighters work best with night-out make up, it will pick up dull skin but for day-to-day use it is probably a bit too sparkly.
Now you know all the tricks there is no excuse, give your skin some glow!
