Shield your eyes because this season’s latest beauty trend is causing quite a glare. You guessed it, highlighter! Highlighting has been captivating beauty and makeup gurus for months. A great highlighter can perk up your complexion while accentuating the features you love, and it can even work towards camouflaging those that you don’t. Amazing, right?
Even if you’re still new to the highlighter craze, there’s no need to worry! You still have time to learn. For starters, highlighter is a product that can completely change your beauty look. If applied correctly, it gives you a desired glowing look. Available in powder, liquid or cream forms, with or without shimmer, the amount of highlighters available are endless.
With the endless number of shimmery options out there, how do you know which one is right for you? Well lucky for you, it’s no longer one-size-fits-all in the highlighter department—there’s guaranteed to be a match made for your specific skin tone! When you’re choosing a highlighter it all comes down to your skin tone. If you have pasty skin, pink toned highlighters are going to stick out, but if you have a more golden skin tone, then a highlighter with gold undertones would make your skin pop. Still unsure how to delve into this trend? The following tips from this super rad Fashionista should ensure that you are ready to rock the glow.
