The upcoming festive season presents the perfect opportunity to invest in a product that will elevate your makeup routine. The best highlighters can act as the perfect final step in your makeup routine. Just a subtle sweep of the shimmer powder can add a soft, luminous glow that enhances your natural radiance without being too overpowering. Celebrity makeup artist Shraddha Inder Mehta says, “You should place it on the high points of the face—the cheekbone or above your eyebrows or along the brow bone”. She suggests dabbing a smidge on the inner corner of your eyes, on your cupid’s bow and even across your shoulder bones for that extra glow.
Which highlighter should you pick?
Choosing the right highlighter for your skin type is key to achieving that perfect glow. With so many options on the market, it’s important to know what works best for you. “For those with dry skin, powdered formulas can be too drying, so a liquid highlighter is a much better choice,” says Mehta
Whether you’re opting for a powder highlighter for a radiant flush on your cheeks or mixing a liquid formula with your foundation for an all-over glow, there’s a product for every need.
