How To Apply Highlighter:

Beginner + Mature Skin Tutorial

Highlighter is an incredible beauty product. It can brighten, visually lift the face, and you look more awake.

Even on my most minimal makeup days, I’ll use highlighter along with a tinted moisturizer and some mascara and it makes a big difference!

Also, highlighters are one product category where there are a ton of great options at every price point.

STEP 1

Cheekbones I start applying highlighter about an inch directly below the outer edge of my eye and blend out and up towards my hairline, stopping about 3/4 of an inch from my hairline.

STEP 2

Nose On your nose, you’ll apply highlight on a one inch area down the center. Start a half an inch below the eyes and finish at least a half inch above the end of the nose.

STEP 3

Brows Above the arch of your eyebrow, dab a bit of shimmer highlighter and blend up and out, towards your hairline.

STEP 4

Upper Lip “V” If you want to make your top lip look a bit bigger, blend a very small amount of matte or satin finish concealer in a shade lighter than your skin into the cupid’s bow.

STEP 5

Inner Corner of Eyes Taking a smaller pencil or brush, dab a little highlighter or shimmer eyeshadow at the inner corner of each eye, directly where the top and bottom parts of your eye meet.
