Light Working: Your Go-To Highlighter Tips to Make Your Face Come to Life

During the warmer (aka humid, balmy, unbearably sticky and sunny) summer months many of us work hard to fight the shine when it comes to our skin. We blot, we powder and we wash our faces just to try and avoid the dreaded greasy look that can come from constant sweating. But maybe we’ve got it all wrong. Maybe a little glow is actually a really good thing, and if you do it right, embracing a little shimmer in all the most flattering places can bring your complexion to life.

1Proper Application is Key

Remember, just having the highlighter in your possession doesn’t get you the look you are going for. You have to also know how to use it, and use it properly. Less is definitely more where highlighters are concerned. If you just want a natural, dewy finish, start with moisturized skin, and add a drop of a liquid illuminator to your moisturizer to give your skin an overall, subtle glow. Then you can use a highlighting stick to apply a little extra shine to specific areas such as your cheekbones or brow bones. 

If you want a slightly more dramatic glow, dust your face with a shimmer powder or cream-to-powder highlighter, focusing on your cheekbones, under your brow bones and the top of your forehead (think of the areas of your face that are most hit by the sun). To avoid shine where you don’t want it (your forehead and nose) use a matte powder afterwards to finish the look. If you’re going for a full-on glam look with lots of shimmer, you can use a beauty sponge to apply a cream-to-powder highlighter so you get a lasting, pigmented glow.
