Highlighter: get that glow
From subtle to intensely shimmering, a highlighter can give your face the perfect glow. There are not only many different finishes, but also textures, depending on whether you prefer it liquid, creamy or powdery. As such, there are products to make every skin type and skin colour shine.
Whether sticks, drops or powder: the whole range of highlighters
You can choose the right highlighter for you based on different criteria, including the occasion, the desired effect or your skin type. Here is an overview of the different types of highlighters and who they are best suited for:
- Highlighter powder: Highlighter in powder form is a classic and can be used in many ways. Depending on how much radiance you want, you can apply the product more subtly during the day with a fluffy brush and set additional accents for the evening with a firmer brush. When it comes to the finish, anything goes, from a light shine to a metallic shimmer. The powders can also be seamlessly applied and blended on many skin types. Only for particularly dry or mature skin should you opt for the cream or liquid version.
- Liquid highlighter: Thanks to its liquid consistency, the liquid highlighter can be applied not only on top of the foundation, but also under the foundation for an extra glow, or even mixed with a more matte foundation. The liquid pigments blend particularly easily with the skin and are best applied with a damp beauty sponge. This ensures a natural effect that simply looks like well-cared-for skin.
- Cream highlighter: If you’re in a rush to apply your everyday make-up, it’s best to reach for a cream highlighter. It comes either in a small pot or as a stick and can be applied easily with a finger or directly to the face. This way, you can achieve a glowing look in just a few seconds. Due to its creamy texture, this highlighter variant is ideal for dry skin, but it may not last as long on oily skin.
The best highlighter tips
- Highlighter not only creates a beautiful glow on the cheekbones, but also on the bridge of the nose, above the cupid’s bow, in the inner corner of the eye and under the highest point of the eyebrow.
- Golden and peach-coloured highlighters suit medium skin tones with a warm undertone. Light, cool skin tones should try a pink glow, while light, warm skin tones look great with a champagne shade. Bronze tones and rose gold add shimmering highlights to dark skin tones.
- A light rosy highlighter over a matte or satin blush provides a more radiant finish.
- Nowadays, there are also blush highlighters that combine blush and highlighter, saving you an additional step.
- To soften the edges, go over the transition between the highlighter and blush again with the foundation brush or a sponge to blend it.
