<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Highlighter is face makeup that attracts light, creating the illusion of brightness and height, hence that lit-from-within look. ; Highlighter is becoming as classic and essential staple in the makeup category.  ;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HOW TO SELECT HIGHLIGHTER FOR YOUR SKIN TONE</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fair Skin
Tones</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have pale to light skin, you should opt for highlighters with a pearl shade or champagne sheen. The light pigment ;adds just enough radiance to your complexion. </p>

</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You should
avoid shades that are too warm or contain dark red undertones, and opt for
shades that have a little bit more of a light, pink-peach finish. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br>
<strong>Medium Skin Tones</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To keep your complexion from looking too frosty, warmer skin tones pair well with highlighters that have gold-bronze undertones. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The hint of colour is just
enough to give you that sun-kissed glow or a double-take worthy highlight as
you please. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Check out NYX Professional Makeup Away We Glow Liquid Boosters to give a ton of personality to your highlight on medium-toned skin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Deep Skin Tones</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rich variations of rose gold or bronze work amazing on darker complexions. Just be sure to look for options that pack a ton of pigment and steer clear of frosty, opalescent shades, as they can cause the skin to appear dull.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PLACES ON YOUR FACE TO APPLY HIGHLIGHTER MAKEUP</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now
that you know how to highlight your face with both powder and liquid
highlighter makeup, let’s go over the seven places to highlight your face.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1.TIP OR BRIDGE OF YOUR NOSE</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apply
your choice of highlighter makeup down the bridge of your nose or on the tip of
it to accentuate it and have it appear thinner.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. ABOVE YOUR CUPID’S BOW</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use your highlighter makeup to draw the eye to your lips.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">ALSO READ &#8211; <a href="https://www.makeupadda.com/what-is-face-highlighter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">What is Face Highlighter</a></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. BENEATH THE ARCH OF YOUR EYEBROWS</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By
highlighting beneath the arch of your eyebrows, your eyes will appear more
awake, and your eyebrow shape will be more defined.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. ABOVE THE ARCH OF YOUR EYEBROWS</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Using
highlighter makeup above the arch of your eyebrow is just as important as applying
it below. This will define the shape of your brows and allow your eyes to be
accentuated.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. CHEEKBONES</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cheekbones
are the most common place for people to apply highlighter. Doing so will create
a more defined, contoured facial structure while also giving your skin a more
youthful appearance.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. CENTER OF YOUR FOREHEAD</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With
highlighter makeup, you want to highlight all of the high points of your face.
This includes the center of your forehead. Applying highlight to the center of
your forehead will create a more contoured face especially when applying
bronzer to your temples.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. CENTER OF YOUR CHIN</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another key high point to apply highlighter to is your chin. Brightening up this spot may seem unnecessary, but it&#8217;ll pay off, helping you achieve a more defined, contoured appearance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"></pre>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">More on Highlighting</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Applying
highlighter is not simply a matter of swiping the stuff on the cheeks and
forehead Choose the radiant, sun-kissed skin route by following these
application tips.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Choose
the right tools. Use a medium
tapered brush (or setting brush) when applying highlighter to the cheekbones.
If you choose to layer products, use a fan brush to apply the accent
highlighter on top.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Smaller areas need smaller tools. ;For more detailed areas that cover smaller real estate (corners of the eyes, centre of the nose, and brow bone), use the ;smaller brush. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For cream products, try sponges to ensure precise blending. With cream stick illuminators, apply foundation ;after ;highlighter. Sticks tend to lift the foundation off. But if you prefer to apply your foundation first, then use a sponge to apply it so it goes on more gently and doesn’t disturb your makeup.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use a light hand. ;Another thing to consider when applying highlighter is how much you’re applying, since it&#8217;s easier to build up than to remove. And with powder formulas, tap the excess off the brush to prevent the powder from straying into other areas and minimizes fallout.</p>

I am loving these tips. I am just now adding a highlighter to my routine. I have come to appreciate the results, especially on camera, but have been unsure of the placement. Thanks!
This is a must have for me! I have been trying to find the right highlighter for my skin so thank you so much for this! I needed this.
I do love a good bronzer with a touch of shimmer and that's perfect for my skin tone apparently! Nice! Thanks for sharing this!
There is a ton of highlighters to choose from and to combine, I love it...I usually use only one lol...I need to do better.
I'm quite pale so I always go for softer colours of highlighter on my skin. There are lots of beautiful options out there for all skin types x
This is such a good post! I know firsthand how the wrong highlighter for your skin type can make you look terrible. It's an unfortunate incident that I won't get into. LOL
I rarely use highlighters, as these were never really a thing when I started wearing make up. I have tried using it and do love the results
Picking a highlighter can be tricky. I'm not good at it so thank you for these tips.
I don't wear make up much but, it's helpful to know what to do when I do. These are good tips.
I always go for peach or gold highlighters for my fair to medium skin tones. These pointers are great for the selection of highlighters.
