Ever wonder how celebrities get such glowing, ethereal skin? It’s not all fancy facials and expensive aesthetician visits. With the right highlighter and proper know-how, you can fake it!
Highlighter, which is also known as luminizer comes in many forms, from cream to liquid to powder. While you use darker colors for contouring, highlighting brings your features forward and makes skin look younger and more dewy. Because you can find it in so many different shades and finishes, deciding which highlighter is right for you can be daunting. In this post i will show you how to choose a highlighter and how to achieve that glowing skin.
Choosing a shade
When it comes to highlighter, one size doesn’t fit all. To select the right shade for yourself, keep your undertones in mind. When I’m working with a darker skin tone, I tend to go with more of a gold-based shimmer that’s on the warmer side. For lighter skin, i use a silvery or champagne colored tone. MAC Strobe Cream works for a wide range of skin tones, because it’s a mica pearl pigment that’s multi-colored. Sometimes I use a shimmering Eyeshadows from a line with a wide range of colors. It works great for those seeking a custom shade to use as a highlighter.
For an everyday, natural application
Some pople tend to overdo highlighting, and it can end up looking silly. The whole point of highlighter is to look like you’re naturally glowing and have a perfect complexion. The question now is how should we wear it? Its simple... simply wear a tinted moisturizer and a little bit of the luminizer in it to get the glow. It looks beautiful especially if you want people to think you have beautiful skin.
Red - carpet - ready technique-
When am doing a client for the red carpet, i avoid highlighting all over, because that tends to look really shiny in photographs. If you're going to be photographed, Julianne suggests placing luminizer anywhere that protrudes: the high planes of the cheeks, down the bridge of the nose, and the cupid’s bow to give the illusion of a fuller lip. Another great trick is to apply a stick highlighter over foundation, and then go over it with a powder highlighter. “You’ll have that lit-from-within beautiful glow!.
Highlighter is a must have for an everyday look cos it gives that radiance and glow. Try this beauty trick and lets hear your feedback.
