What is Highlighter？

Highlighter is a type of cosmetic product that reflects light. Often used for contouring, it can be applied to the face or other parts of the body to brighten the skin on a given area, create the perception of depth and angles. The product can come in a variety of forms, including powder, liquid, cream, gloss, solid stick and jelly.Highlighters are different from illuminators.

Highlighters became a significant tool among theater and film actors shooting or performing indoors, where natural light was not available to provide definition of facial features like cheekbones, nose, and jawline. Highlighter also offers the possibility of heightening or diminishing a given feature to suit the character portrayed, as well as aesthetic trends.

Highlighters are usually in a white or champagne colour, but can be in many other colours as well including blue, pink, and rainbow, to suit certain makeup looks.

Benefits of Highlighter

Multifunctional
Highlights allow you to control the final look. You can choose from subtle highlights or more prominent streaks. Face-framing highlights can be partial highlights, full highlights, or both. This gives your hair a natural look that is more natural than other hair colors. Highlights can also be customized to match your natural hair color.

Enhances depth
One-dimensional hair colors can make hair look dull and dense. The illusion of texture, volume, and depth can be created by adding a lighter hair color. You can further enhance this look by adding highlights (lighter) or low lights (darker).

Enhances skin tone
Highlights can lighten your skin even if you've done all the research and found the right shade for your skin. You will have a radiant summer glow year round with the right combination of colors and application. To keep your skin looking its best, face framing highlights will highlight your eyes and facial features.

Disguises grays
Are you tired of grays? Highlights can be used to hide grays with minimal maintenance. Because they blend with the lighter streaks, this is possible. This removes the sharp line between gray regrowth and current color.

Types of Highlighter

Strobing cream

Strobing creams are a great way to illuminate any aspect of the face - cheeks, brow arches, cupid’s bow on the upper lips and collar bones. This versatile product can be mixed with primers and foundations for that lit from within look. It comes enclosed in handy tubes with a smooth consistency to effortlessly glide onto the face and neck.

Gel highlighter

For that translucent glass skin-like look, gel highlighter is the latest and most magical invention from the makeup wizards. Comprising a thick yet free-flowing gel carrying glossy metallic particles, this makeup product can be applied on the high points of the face, to confer an impeccable dewy look all day long.

Stick highlighter

Stick highlighters are cream-based formulations that are very useful while travelling. Packed in a convenient lipstick like case and not requiring a brush for application, stick highlighters are a must-have makeup item for a slick metamorphosis from work mode to a party-ready look.

Powder highlighter

A time-tested makeup commodity, powder highlighters are packaged in easy-to-use compact cases, to add that touch of glamour and transform a dull look pronto. They can be applied in a very simple manner by taking the needed amount of product onto a brush and dispersing it evenly on the light-reflecting areas of the face.

Liquid highlighter

Liquid highlighters are slightly thick in consistency and deeply pigmented creations, which impart a vivid gleam with just a tiny amount of product. They are enclosed in tubes or bottles, can be dotted onto the face and spread uniformly with just the fingertips, to provide an ultra dazzling sparkle.

Process of Highlighter

Find the right shade
Before you go out to purchase the highlighter that your favorite influencer or best friend uses, take a step back. Just like makeup, highlighter comes in a variety of shades that will look drastically different depending on your skin tone. Warm, golden shades look good on most skin tones, but if you have darker skin, a highlighter with some red in it would look best on your complexion.

Prep your skin
Since you want to enhance your skin’s glow and complexion with a highlighter, preparing your skin before putting on makeup is crucial. Start by washing your face properly, drying it off completely with a soft towel, and applying your usual serums, a moisturizer, and sunscreen for a healthy, protected canvas.

Apply other makeup products
First Once you’ve laid the base for your makeup, your foundation, concealer, blush, and bronzer are applied. At this point, you can also apply any eye and lip makeup you want. From there, a highlighter will be the finishing touch to your overall makeup look.

Apply highlighter on each cheek
Now that you’re ready to apply your highlighter, you’ll want to start by putting it on your cheeks. Aim above the apple of the cheek, and sweep the highlighter diagonally across each cheekbone with your fingers or a brush. Make sure not to be too heavy-handed here! Adding too much highlighter can make you look overly shiny and unnatural, while the point of highlighter is to accentuate your features and complexion.

Highlight other high points of your face
Now that you’ve applied a highlighter to your cheek area, you might also want to apply it on your brow bones, above the lips, down the bridge of your nose, and in your inner eye area. Most importantly, you’ll want to avoid your T-zone, which is your forehead and the center of your nose, since it’s naturally oily and usually doesn’t need any extra shine.

How to Maintain Highlighter

●Do use a highlighter shade that complements your skin tone for a subtle, lit-from-within sheen.

●Do use highlighter in spots that catch light, and enhance your natural features: on cheekbones and temples, down the bridge of your nose, under brows, the inner corners of eyes, and above the cupid's bow.

●Do keep your other makeup like foundation, blush and bronzer softly matte and shimmer free.

●Do blend out highlighter with your fingers, a fan brush, or a damp makeup sponge after you've applied it. To avoid blobs of product and obvious makeup lines, make sure you blend any harsh edges of highlighter so it fades into the rest of your skin.

8 Places to Apply Highlighter Makeup on Your Face

Cheekbones
We’re starting with the most common place to highlight your skin — the cheekbones. To enhance your bone structure and give your face a lifted appearance, apply a light layer of highlighter to your cheekbones. Drag it up slightly under your temples to avoid a stark line where your highlighter begins and ends.

Jawline
Many contour their jawline so highlighting it only makes sense. Focus on your face shape and where the sun hits you naturally. The results literally and figuratively highlight your jawline and enhance your face shape to create a gorgeous, light-catching glow.

Cupid’s bow
Your Cupid's bow is the curved section at the center of your top lip. Highlighting this area helps to lift the lips and give them a fuller appearance and more defined shape.

Brow bone
The brow bone is an area of the face that catches light and plays an integral part in your bone structure. Give your brows a lifted appearance by adding some brightness to the area (under the arch of your brows) with highlighter.

Inner corners of your eyes
The inner corners of your eyes tend to be more prone to darkness than other areas of the face. Add some highlighter to brighten this area and give your eyes a more wide-awake appearance.

Under-eye area
Yup, this is a weird one but it truly works wonders. Just like the inner corner of the eyes, the under-eye area can be dark and highlighter is a great way to help bring some brightness to it. Layer it on lightly after you’ve applied your under-eye concealer or mix some liquid highlighter like the aforementioned True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer with your concealer before applying it to your dark circles.

Center of your eyelids
Another great way to brighten your eyes and your overall look is by adding a subtle highlight to the center of your eyelids. While this might not be fitting if you’re going for a nude smokey eye, on natural makeup days, it’s a great way to look more awake while adding some glow.

Center of your chin
If you have a longer or more oval-shaped face that you wish to round out a bit, highlighting the center of your chin is a great makeup technique to try. Be sure to really blend out the highlighter in this area to ensure it appears natural.

Is a Highlighter the Same Thing as an Illuminator?

In general, ‘highlighter’ and ‘illuminator’ are used interchangeably to refer to products that add radiance and luminosity to the skin. However, there are some key differences between the two.

Texture

Highlighters are often available in powder form, while illuminators are typically liquid or cream products.

Intensity

Highlighters tend to be more intense and concentrated, while illuminators may provide a softer, more subtle glow.

Application

Highlighters are often applied to specific areas of the face, such as the cheekbones or brow bone, while illuminators can be applied more broadly for an all-over glow.

Finish

Highlighters often have a shimmery or glittery finish, while illuminators may provide a more dewy or pearlescent finish.

A: Highlighter is a double-whammy product, attracting light and enhancing skin tone, for a lit-from-within look, and can be used to accentuate and "lift" bone structure. It's amazing! And it's also a bit befuddling if you're just starting out in the makeup world.

Q: Is highlighter better than blush?
