A Definitive Guide to Use Your Highlighter in Different Ways

What is the secret to an ideal Make-up look? Well, it is none other than Highlighter that holds a major place in every make-up junkie’s vanity. The right use of a Highlighter Stick accentuates the sharp features of the face and creates an illusion of higher cheekbones and brighter skin. If you include a highlighter in your make-up routine, your face will look more youthful, radiant and flawless.

Just take the stick and glide on your cheekbones, Cupid’s bow, inner corner of the eyes and nose. When it comes to highlighter application, other than highlighting certain facial features, it can also be used for other make-up hacks that make it a total multitasker. Refer to the following hacks to make the most of your highlighter.

Different Ways to Use Your Highlighter

Use as an Eyeshadow Base 

Using your Highlighter as an Eyeshadow Base is still a new trend for a lot of people but it is a genius hack if you wish to give your eyes a soft and subtle look.

To give the eye make-up smooth and long-lasting results, usually, we use Eyeshadow Primer, but a highlighter proves to be a great alternative in this case. Simply glide the highlighter on the lids and then start with eye make-up.

Apply It as Shimmer Eyeshadow 

Giving those eyes a shimmer and sparkle look does not only mean using high-sheen Eye Shadow colors. As long as you have got highlighter with a shimmering touch, you can achieve the desired look.

Once you are done applying the first color from the Eyeshadow Palette Set, apply the second stroke using a highlighter either using its applicator or the right make-up brush.

Use to Conceal Dark Circles 

A dark circle is the last thing any girl would want to see with her make-up. Fortunately, if you have a highlight in your make-up kit, you can use it to cancel that discoloration and brighten up the appearance of under-eye bags. While applying your base make-up, move the stick in the inner corner of the eyes to lift them and blur the dark spots.

Glide as a Lip Primer

For the lipstick lovers who love to keep their lip color long-lasting and smudge-proof, they can try using Highlighter as an alternative to Lip Primer. This will set a flawless base for the lipstick making it transfer-proof and avoiding feathering and bleeding from the lips.

Cover the Unruly Eyebrows

It’s been ages since you went to a salon to get your eyebrows done and now suddenly there’s a Friday dinner that you have to attend with friends. Well, worry not because that highlighter which you will use to turn your complexion gleamy and flawless can also be used to set the unruly eyebrows by concealing the stray hairs growing out of the brow’s pattern.

And hence you can use one Highlighter for different make-up practices and get that subtle and dewy make-up look that you wish for.
