Highlighter: 5 most common mistakes How to avoid them to use the products in the best way

The highlighter is the number one antidote to the dullness of the cold season as it gives us a new three-dimensionality and brightness through light. A radiant and bright complexion (not too shiny) in the right places, in fact, can give us a fresh, radiant and healthy look. This is why this product should be a must-have to always keep in the beauty case. But do you know how to apply it in the right way?

 

1. Choose the wrong product

As for the foundation, there are different types of highlighters (in stick, in powder, in gel, and so on) and, for an impeccable result, it is good to start by choosing the right product starting from the type of skin or the effect you want. is looking for: for dry skin, it is better to opt for creamy textures while, for oily ones, powder versions are preferable.

 

2. Apply too much in the wrong areas

To regulate yourself, the areas where the highlighter is to be applied are those that are naturally most affected by the light such as the nose, cheekbones, chin and under the eyebrow arch. For correct application, use clean fingertips and pat gently. In case you have escaped a little too much, you can safely remove the excess with a damp sponge.

 

3. Choose the wrong shade

It is very important that the highlighter has a shade that is suitable for our natural skin tone. For lighter complexions, it is better to choose pink or sand shades; for darker ones, it's better to opt for something golden or slightly bronzed.

 

4. Applying it on the eye area

The highlighter, as the name implies, "illuminates" then highlights the areas where it is applied (expression lines included!).

 

5. Applying it before foundation, or after the blush

It may seem trivial but it is good to remember that the highlighter is applied after the foundation and before the blush. In this way it will be possible to obtain an even more evident lighting effect!
