Highlighter is a makeup product that is used to highlight certain areas of the face. That's why there is a highlighter in the makeup kit. Highlighter is also very useful to enhance the makeup look, but you should know how and in which places the highlighter should be used. There are small mistakes related to highlighters, which most people do.

Applying the wrong tools

The methods and tools used for each makeup product are different. That's why you should know which tool to use. Apply the highlighter with a fan brush instead of a normal brush. This brush is especially useful for applying highlighter. By using this you will get a natural look.

Also keep in mind that if you are using liquid or cream highlighter, blends with a makeup sponge instead of a brush. Never apply cream products with a brush. It does not blend well into the skin.

Putting on the wrong foundation

You too must have faced this problem at one time or another that you do not get the look you want. One reason for this could be that you are applying the highlighter with the wrong foundation. That is, you should know which foundation will be right with which kind of highlighter. If you are using powder foundation then apply powder highlighter on the face.

Coordinate with makeup

You should coordinate the face makeup with the highlighter. That is, it is necessary to use the right blush and bronzer with the highlighter. Warm bronzer and blush don't go well with a cool-toned highlighter.

Keep these things in mind

  • Do you also think that applying more highlighter will make them look better, it is not so. Highlighter should not be used excessively. Applying too much will make you look overdone.
  • You should know which shade of highlighter will suit your face. If you have dusky skin, go for peach, bronze and gold-toned shades. On the other hand, ivory-shade highlighters look good in medium and fair tones.
  • Highlighter should not be applied on any part of the face. Highlighter is applied on the cupid's bow, cheekbones, inner corner of the eyes and tip of the nose.
  • You should highlight the face according to the face shape. If your face is long then you do not have to highlighter the forehead and chin.
  • Do not use makeup products from a local company. Buy a highlighter from a good company so that it lasts longer.
  • Pamper the skin well before applying makeup on the skin. This means following the right skin care. First, cleanse the skin. Then use toning and moisturiser. Only after this apply makeup.
