Types of Highlighters
Powder Highlighter
A powder highlighter is a classic option that is easy to use and blend. It is a versatile product that can be used to create a variety of looks, from a natural glow to a dramatic highlight. Powder highlighters are best suited for people with normal to oily skin.
Cream Highlighter
Cream highlighters are a great option for people with dry skin, as they can help to add hydration and a dewy glow. They are also a good choice for people who want a natural-looking highlight.
Liquid Highlighter
Liquid highlighters are the most pigmented type of highlighter and can be used to create an intense glow. They are also the most versatile type of highlighter, as they can be mixed with foundation or primer to create a subtle all-over glow.
Coral Horizon
Coral Horizon is a duochrome coral, gold highlighter with a satin finish. This versatile product can be used for eyeshadow, blush, and blush topper effects. We suggest using a light hand when applying as a highlighter as a little goes along way!
Choosing the Right Shade
Remember, there are no rules in makeup. You should feel free to express yourself and your creativity, wearing whatever colors make you feel good. These are just guidelines if you're not sure where to start. It is also important to remember that within different skin tones, there are many different undertones to take into account when choosing your best shade. Play around with different colors to find what suits you the best.
Fair Skin Tones
If you have fair skin, you will want to choose a highlighter that is in a light shade, such as champagne, pearl, or icy pink.
Medium Skin Tones
If you have medium skin, you can wear a wider range of highlighter shades, including gold, peach, and rose gold.
Deep Skin Tones
If you have deep skin, you will want to choose a highlighter that is in a deep shade, such as bronze, copper, or terracotta.
Where to Apply Highlighter
Highlighter can be applied to a number of different areas of the face, including:
- Cheekbones
- Brow bone
- Inner corner of the eyes
- Cupid's bow
- Bridge of the nose
- Collarbone
Highlighter Application Tips
- Start with a small amount of product and build up the intensity gradually.
- Blend, blend, blend! Seamless blending is key to a natural-looking highlight.
- Use the right tools. Brushes are best for blending powder highlighters, while fingers can be used to apply cream or liquid highlighters.
- Layer different highlighter formulas for a more dramatic effect.
