Gather Your Supplies
- A liquid highlighter of your choice
- A foundation or concealer
- A beauty sponge or makeup brush
- A well-lit mirror
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Before applying any makeup, it’s important to cleanse and moisturize your face. This will create a smooth canvas for your liquid highlighter. Once you’ve moisturized, apply your foundation or concealer as you normally would.
Step 2: Choose the Right Shade
When it comes to liquid highlighters, there are various shades available. Consider your skin tone and the desired effect you want to achieve. For fair skin, champagne or pearl shades work well. Rose gold or golden hues are perfect for medium skin tones. If you have deep skin, opt for bronze or copper shades.
Step 3: Apply the Highlighter
Squeeze a small amount of liquid highlighter onto your fingertips or the back of your hand. Gently dab your beauty sponge or makeup brush onto the highlighter and tap it onto the high points of your face. These areas typically include the cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow. Use a light hand and build up the intensity gradually.
Step 4: Blend, Blend, Blend
After applying the liquid highlighter, use your fingertips, a beauty sponge, or a brush to blend it into your skin. Make sure there are no harsh lines or uneven patches. The goal is to achieve a seamless and natural-looking glow.
Step 5: Set Your Highlighter (Optional)
If you want your liquid highlighter to stay in place all day, consider setting it with a powder highlighter of a similar shade. Using a small fluffy brush, gently dust the powder highlighter over the areas where you applied the liquid highlighter. This will add extra longevity to your glow.
Step 6: Complete Your Look
Finish off your makeup routine by applying the rest of your products, such as blush, bronzer, and mascara. Liquid highlighter works beautifully with other makeup products, allowing you to create a stunning overall look.
Applying liquid highlighter is an easy way to add luminosity to your complexion. By following these steps and experimenting with different shades, you’ll be able to achieve a radiant glow that suits your skin tone and personal style. Remember to have fun and embrace your inner glow!
