Highlighting Shadow / Illuminator

Where to Apply Highlighter/Illuminator:


Eyes:

A highlighting shadow can work wonders when applied to the inner corners of the eyes. It can open the eye and make it look nice and fresh as well as bigger. Use a small, dense brush or a liner brush to apply your highlighting shadow here.


Brow Bone


Highlighter on the brow bones is wonderful for emphasising the arch of your brows and opening your eyes up. A fluffy brush is useful for covering the brow bone but you can also use a pencil brush if you want some good definition underneath the arch of your brows.


Cheeks:

Highlighter/Illuminator can also be applied to the face. Often the facial illuminators come in powdered or creme form.

Illuminator is useful if you want to give your face a fresh, dewy, pretty appearence. Apply to the tops of your cheek bones and over the temples for a fresh, glowing look.
