                                          What Does Highlighter Do?

                                          Highlighter adds light and glow to specific areas of the face.

                                          It is usually applied to the high points where light naturally catches, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose and Cupid's bow. The amount you use can take the look from a soft sheen to a much more noticeable glow.

                                          Highlighter vs Illuminator: What Is the Difference?

                                          The two are closely related, but they are not quite the same.

                                          A highlighter is generally more concentrated and applied to specific areas of the face. An illuminator is often used to give the skin a more overall luminous appearance. Strobe creams and liquid glow products can sit somewhere between the two.

                                          If you want light mainly on your cheekbones, a highlighter is the more targeted choice. For a glow across the complexion, an illuminator may be more suitable.

                                          How to Pick a Highlighter

                                          Think about the kind of glow you actually enjoy wearing.

                                          Powder highlighters are easy to build and can give anything from a soft sheen to a stronger reflective finish. Liquid and cream formulas tend to blend into the skin, while balms can give a wetter, glossy effect.

                                          Then there is the shade. Champagne, pearl, gold, rose gold and bronze tones can all look different depending on your complexion and undertone.

                                          Highlighter by Skin Type

                                          Oily Skin

                                          If your skin already gets shiny, keep the glow focused on the areas where you want it. A powder highlighter can be easier to control, particularly when your base is already set. Apply a small amount to the tops of the cheekbones rather than adding shimmer across the entire face. M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish and Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter are powder options in the bestseller selection.

                                          Dry Skin

                                          Cream, liquid and balm formulas can give dry looking skin a softer, more luminous finish. Apply them over well moisturised skin and blend gently. If your base is already dewy, you may only need a small amount on the cheekbones. FAE Beauty Mirror Glaze Glass Balm Illuminator and MARS Glow Fly Liquid Highlighter are options to explore.

                                          Combination Skin

                                          Combination skin does not need the same finish everywhere. If your T zone tends to get oily, keep the highlighter away from areas where you already have natural shine. Concentrate it on the cheekbones or other high points instead. A powder formula gives you more control, while liquid or cream highlighter can be used sparingly on the cheeks.

                                          Sensitive Skin

                                          There is no single highlighter formula that works for every sensitive skin type. If your skin is easily irritated, check the ingredient list before buying and avoid ingredients you already know do not suit you. When trying a new product, introduce it carefully rather than combining several new makeup products at once.

                                          How to Choose Your Highlighter Shade

                                          The right highlighter should work with both your complexion and the rest of your makeup.

                                          Pearl and soft champagne shades can give a subtle finish on fairer complexions. Medium skin tones can explore champagne, peachy gold and rose gold. Gold, bronze and richer champagne shades can complement deeper skin tones.

                                          Your undertone matters too. If a very pale highlighter looks stark against your skin, try a warmer shade. If gold looks too yellow, champagne or neutral tones may feel more natural.

                                          When shopping online, compare the shade name with the product swatch and finish. The same depth of colour can look quite different in a matte, metallic or glossy formula.

                                          How Much Highlighter Should You Use?

                                          Start with less than you think you need.

                                          A small amount is usually enough for the cheekbones. Add another layer only if you want more intensity.

                                          With highly pigmented liquid or cream formulas, place a tiny amount first and blend it out. Powder can be built up gradually with a brush.

                                          Where Should You Apply Highlighter?

                                          The most frequent spot is the cheekbones but highlighter can be used elsewhere.

                                          • Cheekbones: Adds light and dimension to the face.
                                          • Brow bone: Gives the eye area a more lifted appearance.
                                          • Inner corners: Can make the eyes look brighter.
                                          • Bridge of the nose: Adds a subtle point of light.
                                          • Cupid's bow: Gives the lips more definition.

                                          You do not need to highlight every area. Pick one or two points if you prefer a more understated look.

                                          How to Apply Highlighter

                                          1. Finish your foundation, concealer and blush first.
                                          2. Pick up a small amount of highlighter.
                                          3. Apply it to the high points of the face.
                                          4. Blend the edges so there are no obvious lines.
                                          5. Add another thin layer if you want a stronger glow.

                                          For liquid and cream formulas, tapping the product into the skin usually gives you more control than rubbing it across the face.

                                          Everyday and Seasonal Use

                                          Can You Use Highlighter Every Day?

                                          Yes. Highlighter does not have to mean a dramatic, glittery finish. For everyday makeup, use a small amount of a finely milled powder, cream or liquid formula on the cheekbones. A soft sheen can brighten the face without making the makeup look heavy.

                                          Can You Use Highlighter Without Foundation?

                                          Yes. Highlighter can be worn on moisturised bare skin. Cream, liquid and balm formulas are particularly easy to use this way. Apply a small amount to the cheekbones and blend the edges into the skin.

                                          Can You Use Highlighter in Summer?

                                          Yes. Keep the application light, especially if your skin gets oily in hot weather. Powder highlighters give you more control but liquids or creams work well with a fresh, minimal make-up look. Don't glow up areas that naturally get shiny.

                                          Can You Use a Highlighter in Winter?

                                          Yes. Winter can be a good time to use cream and liquid formulas if your skin tends to look dull or dry. Moisturise first and let your skincare settle. A small amount of highlighter on the cheekbones can bring some light back to the complexion without requiring a heavy makeup base.

                                          Highlighter for a Natural Glow

                                          A natural looking highlight is more about placement and quantity than choosing the least shiny product.

                                          Use a small amount on the cheekbones and blend until there is no obvious edge. If you can clearly see where the highlighter starts and stops, soften it further.

                                          Common Highlighter Mistakes to Avoid

                                          • Applying too much product in one go.
                                          • Choosing a shade that looks too stark against your complexion.
                                          • Highlighting areas that already have visible excess shine.
                                          • Applying powder highlighter over an unset, wet base.
                                          • Leaving a visible stripe instead of blending the edges.
                                          • Using a very reflective highlighter when you want a subtle everyday finish.

                                          Common Questions

                                          Q1: Which highlighter is best for oily skin?

                                          Powder highlighters can be easier to control on oily skin, especially over a set base. Keep the application focused on the cheekbones rather than the entire face.

                                          Q2: Which highlighter is best for dry skin?

                                          Cream, liquid and balm formulas can give dry looking skin a softer, more luminous finish. Good moisturisation underneath also helps the product blend more evenly.

                                          Q3: Is highlighter the same as illuminator?

                                          Not exactly. Highlighter is usually applied to specific high points, while an illuminator is often used to create a more overall luminous effect.

                                          Q4: Where should highlighter be applied?

                                          The cheekbones are the most common placement. You can also use a small amount on the brow bone, inner corners, nose or Cupid's bow.

                                          Q5: Can highlighter be used on acne prone skin?

                                          Highlighter is a makeup product and does not treat acne. If you are prone to breakouts or irritation, check the ingredients and choose a formula that suits your skin.

                                          Q6: How do you stop highlighter from looking too glittery?

                                          Use a smaller amount and blend the edges well. A finely milled powder or cream formula can also give a softer result than a very sparkly product.
