HIGHLIGHTING

Face Highlighting: Purpose: Face highlighting is used to emphasize and bring forward certain areas of the face, creating a luminous and radiant look. Products: Highlighter: This is a shimmery or luminous product applied to specific areas like the tops of cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, and the inner corners of the eyes. Illuminating Primer or Foundation: Products with light-reflecting particles can give an all-over radiant effect to the skin. Eye Highlighting: Purpose: Eye highlighting involves enhancing specific areas around the eyes to brighten and open up the gaze. Products: Eyeshadow: Light, shimmery eyeshadows applied to the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes can create a brightening effect. Highlighting Pencil: Applied to the waterline or inner corners of the eyes to make them appear larger and more awake. Body Highlighting: Purpose: Body highlighting is used to add a radiant sheen to certain areas of the body, giving a healthy and glowing look. Products: Body Highlighter or Luminizer: These products are designed for the body and can be applied to areas like the shoulders, collarbones, and legs. Contouring and Highlighting: Purpose: Highlighting is often paired with contouring to define and accentuate facial features. Technique: Applied in conjunction with contouring products, highlighting focuses on areas you want to bring forward, while contouring creates shadows to define and sculpt. Strobing: Purpose: Strobing is a makeup technique solely focused on highlighting, omitting the use of contouring products. Technique: By applying highlighter to strategic areas, strobing aims to achieve a dewy, radiant complexion. Application Tips: Use a light hand when applying highlighter to avoid an overly shimmery or unnatural look. Choose a highlighter shade that complements your skin tone. Consider the lighting conditions you'll be in; natural light can provide the most accurate reflection of your makeup.
