How To Apply Highlighter Makeup and Illuminator Makeup

Cheeks: Put some emphasis in those stunning cheeks by applying either highlighter or illuminator in a diagonal line down your cheek.

Eyes: Highlighters are perfect for hiding those unwanted tired bags - just apply a small amount in the corner of your eye for extra coverage.

Forehead: To put the accent on your forehead, just spread a small amount of Highlighter or Illuminator makeup to the centre, starting from the hairline down to the top of your nose.

Nose: We all have different shapes and sizes, but with the use of a highlighter or an illuminator we can hide any of those insecurities. Apply the highlighter gently along the bridge of nose (to make it appear thinner), making sure it can be blended with your matching foundation.

Lips: Ensure your lips looking amazing with the use of a highlighter or illuminator along the bridge of your luscious lips.
