Makeup techniqueAbout
Glowing Highlight is a makeup technique designed to enhance the natural radiance of the skin by strategically applying highlighter to specific areas. This technique focuses on accentuating the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow, to create a brighter, more youthful appearance. Highlighters can be found in various forms, including powders, creams, and liquids, each offering different finishes and luminosities to suit individual skin tones and preferences. To achieve a glowing highlight, start by prepping your skin with a clean, moisturized base and a primer for smooth application. Apply highlighter using a damp makeup sponge or a fan brush for precise control. Blend thoroughly to avoid harsh lines, ensuring a seamless transition between the highlighter and the rest of your makeup. Set your look with a setting spray or light dusting of translucent powder for long-lasting radiance. This technique not only adds dimension to your features but also complements contouring and other makeup elements for a balanced, radiant look.
