5 Cool Ways to Make the Most of Your Highlighter

If you are a makeup aficionado, then we certainly don't need to introduce you to a highlighter. For those who are wondering what it does—it mimics the glow of your skin...basically, with a highlighter, you could look like you drink gallons of water, eat your veggies on time and have a sure shot skincare routine! While it is known that a highlighter offers a strobing effect but it is NOT just meant for your cheekbones. Check out below to know what exactly we are talking about!

Make your foundation dewy

Scrape a bit of highlighter on your palms and add a few drops of foundation. Mix it thoroughly and apply it to your face by blending it seamlessly using your trusted beauty sponge. This hack is great when you are using a sheer to medium coverage foundation. This will not only make your foundation look more natural, but it will also make sure your skin looks glistening from within.

Mix it with your primer 

If you don't want a line of a shiny streak, then take your primer and add a bit of scraped highlighter. Mix it nicely and apply it on the top points of your face such as your cupid's bow, brow bone, the tip of the nose, and the top of your cheekbones. Make sure you dab and do not swipe for a naturally illuminated glow.

Use it as a makeshift gloss 

If you do not like the sticky touch that the gloss leaves behind or you want your puckers to look pouty even underneath the mask, then you will totally love this trick (You can thank us later!). Once you are done applying your liquid matte lip shade. Take a small blending brush and swipe the highlighter carefully on your cupid's bow to make your upper lip fuller and on the centre of your lips to make your lower lip pop. Make sure you don't overdo it, just remember the teensy it is, the better it gets!

Create your own shimmer eyeliner

Gone are the good ol' days of rusty black eyeliner days. If you are wishing to make your eyes look pop, then all you have to do is take your thin eyeliner brush or even an angled brush and spritz some makeup spray on your highlighter. Using the brush, create a paste-like consistency and then make a wing! Pull the look together with a bright red lipstick and voilà, you have a glamourous look in no time.

Apply it as a body highlighter 

Does it not look odd when your face is glowing to the Gods and your body's skin just looks...meh?! Yeah, we know that feeling too, that is why here is the last hack. It is certainly not the least because it will give you glowing beach body skin without heading to a beach. Wondering how? Generously scrap your highlighter and add it to a bottle of your body oil. Shake it up and apply it after a fresh shower.
