Highlighter for a luminous glow

Highlighter catches the light on the high points of your face, giving skin a fresh, radiant and dimensional look. Used subtly, it creates a natural, healthy glow; built up, it gives a striking, glass-skin or strobed finish. Highlighters come in many textures and shades, from soft pearl and champagne to rose gold, bronze and iridescent tones, so there is one to flatter every skin tone.

Highlighter textures

• Powder: buildable and long-lasting, great for oily or combination skin.
• Cream and stick: melts into the skin for a dewy, natural finish.
• Liquid: can be dabbed on top or mixed into foundation for all-over radiance.
• Baked and shimmer palettes: several shades to mix and adapt.

Where to apply highlighter

1. The tops of the cheekbones, sweeping slightly towards the temples.
2. Down the bridge of the nose and on the tip.
3. On the cupid's bow, just above the upper lip.
4. Under the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eyes.

Apply powder with a fan or small tapered brush, and creams or liquids with your fingertips or a damp sponge. Always blend well for a seamless result.

Choosing your shade

Fair skin suits pearl, champagne and pink tones. Medium skin glows with gold and peach, and deep skin looks beautiful with bronze, copper and rich gold highlighters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear highlighter if I have oily skin?

Yes. Choose a finely milled powder and apply it only to the high points rather than the T-zone.

Does highlighter go before or after powder?

Apply cream and liquid highlighters before setting powder, and powder highlighters after.
