Illuminate your beauty: tips and tricks with highlighter in makeup

Highlighter is an essential make-up item that can transform anyone's appearance. When used correctly, it can highlight the strong points of the face and give the skin a radiant, healthy glow. However, many people still have doubts about how to use highlighter and what tricks to use to get the best result. In this article, we'll share tips and tricks for using highlighter effectively.

1. Choose the right shadeThe first step to using highlighter in your makeup is to choose the right shade. There are various shades available on the market, such as gold, silver, bronze, pink, among others. The ideal is to choose a shade that matches your skin tone and the type of makeup you want to do. For example, gold highlighter is ideal for warmer skin tones, while silver is suitable for cooler skin tones.
   
2. Apply to the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin): is one of the most prominent areas of the face and is where most people apply highlighter. Apply the product with a small, soft brush to the T-zone, avoiding applying it directly to oily areas of the skin, so as not to increase excessive shine.
   
3. Choose the right type of highlighter: There are various types of highlighter on the market, such as powder, liquid, cream and stick. The type you choose depends on the effect you want to achieve. For example, powder highlighter is ideal for a soft glow, while liquid and cream highlighters provide a more intense glow. The stick is great for those who want a precise application.
   
4. Use highlighter as eyeshadow: the highlighter can be used as an eye shadow, creating a discreet shimmering effect. Apply a small amount of the product to the mobile eyelid, blending gently with a brush, and make your eyes stand out!
   
5. Double with blush: for a natural effect, combine highlighter with blush. Apply blush to the apples of the cheeks and highlighter just above, towards the temples. This will create a soft, discreet glowing effect
