Using a Highlighter Makeup Stick:


Choosing the Right Highlighter Stick

Before we dive into the application process, let's first discuss selecting the right highlighter stick for your skin tone. It's essential to choose a shade that complements your complexion. Opt for a highlighter stick that has a hue closely matching your skin tone for a natural look or go for a shade lighter for a more intense glow.

Preparing Your Skin

Prep your skin by following your regular skincare routine. Apply foundation and concealer as usual before reaching for your highlighter stick. This provides a smooth base for the highlighter to blend seamlessly and enhances its reflective properties.


Application Techniques

Now, let's get into the exciting part - applying the highlighter stick! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve that flawless glow:


  • Cheekbones: Start by applying the highlighter stick on the high points of your cheekbones, blending it gently with your fingers or a makeup sponge. The warmth of your fingers will help melt the product into your skin for a natural finish.

  • Brow Bone: Add a touch of highlighter under your brow bone to lift and define your eyebrows. This technique helps create a subtle arch and brightens your eyes.

  • Cupid's Bow: Apply a small amount of highlighter on your cupid's bow to accentuate your lips and create the illusion of fuller lips.

  • Bridge of the Nose and Inner Corner of Eyes: To bring light to the center of your face, swipe the highlighter stick down the bridge of your nose and on the inner corners of your eyes. This step helps create a fresh and awake appearance.

  • Blending: Gently blend the highlighter with a soft, fluffy brush in circular motions to ensure a seamless finish without any harsh lines.

For those looking to elevate their glow game further, here are a few pro tips:


  • Layering:  Don't be afraid to layer the highlighter to intensify the glow. Start with a light application and build it up gradually until you achieve your desired level of radiance.

  • Setting Spray Hack:  Spritzing a setting spray on your face after applying the highlighter stick can enhance the longevity of the glow and provide a dewy finish.
