With all of the crazy trends that went on last year, we’re so happy to finally see one that we can incorporate into our daily routine.
Highlighter is a makeup staple in most of our makeup bags, and we all tend to place it in the same place on our face; our cheekbones.
However, the new trend that is cropping up everywhere has drawn the highlighter south, and onto the apples of the cheek. This seems like a strange idea that shouldn’t work, because highlighter is designer to draw out the angular highpoint of the face. But, it does work… and it is beautiful!
With the layers and layers of makeup people are using, “cake face” seems to be a regular occurrence on Instagram and in real life…
Youthful, dewy skin is THE trend of 2018 and so using our little highlighter trick will emulate dewy and youthful skin no matter what your age.
This trick is perfect on its own for the gym or over a full face of makeup, to make sure you glow all over.
Make sure your skin is really well hydrated and as clear as it can be, to be able to use this trick as best you can.
If your skin is acting up, the highlighter will give it a dewy look anyway over a full coverage foundation.
Use a light foundation that is not matte, and using a glossy highlighter with very little shimmer, sweep it lightly across your cheeks as a finishing touch.
Spritz your face with some MAC Fix+, this will diffuse any cakey-ness from the powders underneath.
Don’t forget to highlight the bride of your nose, the arch of your eyebrows and just above the arch to bring the glow all over your face.
Be sure to wear blush as it ill add an extra youthful glow to your cheeks.
