Get higher cheekbones and glowing skin in just one step

The right highlighter in your hand can be a magic wand. Allowing you to play with light to enhance your features, the highlighter should be every girl’s best friend. Here is your highlighting masterclass to get your glow on.

Where Do You Highlight?

When you shine a soft spotlight over your head, the spots where the light hits should be the areas you want to highlight. By applying highlighter to your cheeks, brow bone, nose bridge and Cupid’s bow, you are able to draw focus to these areas where light hits, and, in effect, “lift”.

Which Spots To Focus On?

Start off with a light hand. Everyone will benefit with just a touch of highlighter on the cheekbone to define the face and add radiance.

To prevent the shiny disco-ball look, vary the amount of shimmer you use. For example, apply a sparkly highlighter on the cheek bones, but a more subdued one on the brow bones and nose bridge.

Which Texture Is Best?

Powder, liquid or cream? There are so many choices available when it comes to highlighters, so we show you how you can maximise your glow with minimal effort.
