FAQs

What is a highlighter used for?

Illuminators are used to enhance your face’s features by adding a subtle or bold shimmer or glow. Bestowing more dimension to frame your face and create a luminous and youthful look, you can create a statement look whether you’re going full face or choosing a no-makeup makeup look.

What are the different types of illuminator products available?

• Powder highlighters — These are the most popular type of highlighter makeup. Powder highlighters are easy to apply, blend and build colour and can come with a matte or iridescent finish.
• Liquid highlighters — Coming in a serum or liquid consistency, liquid highlighters leave a subtle glow to help refract light and leave your skin the most luminous.
• Cream highlighters — With a thicker consistency best applied with fingers or a sponge, they’re great for creating a more dewy and natural finish.
• Stick highlighters — These are the easiest to apply directly to the face for express applications. Highlighter sticks easily conform to the contours of your face for more precise detailing.
• Balm highlighters — These are more natural-looking highlighters that give a subtle sheen to the skin. They’re usually applied with fingers and can be used on the cupid’s bow of your lips and eyelids.

How can I choose the right highlighter palette for my skin tone?

• Fair skin — Look for illuminator makeup with pink or champagne undertones and avoid shades that are too dark or yellow.
• Olive skin — Opt for golden or peachy undertones and avoid shades too light or dark.
• Dark skin — Select a highlighter with bronze or copper undertones and avoid shades that are too light.

Additionally, cream and liquid highlighters are best suited to soften the look of dry and mature skin. In contrast, highlighter powders can rebalance the skin of people with oily and combination complexions.

Where do I apply highlighter?

Highlighter palettes can be applied to your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, brow bones, the inner corners of your eyes and your cupid’s bow — the V-shaped area of your top lip.
