Using Liquid Illuminator? What is it, How to Use, and the Best Three Liquid Illuminators.

This will be short and sweet! I use highlighter as a finishing touch after I’ve applied all my makeup, blush and shadows.

A highlighter may come in a few colors but i always opt for the softer pinks or light gold! Gold/Champagne hues will flatter anyone in my opinion. Again, the key here is to make sure that you don’t apply too much. Simply dab on to desired areas.

I apply it to:
– my cheekbones
– over the cupid’s bow
– the hollow of my chin
– and if I’m not using a sparkly one I’ll apply it on the bridge of my nose as well

As the name suggests, the illuminator’s role is to ‘illuminate’ your beautiful face. Brilliant!

Illuminators:
– give you that brightened ‘glow’
– usually come in a bright white or pearly color tint (however YSL Touche Eclat does come in some shades and Revlon too has 3 shades worth looking at).
– they’re designed to reflect light and add depth
– make you look well rested and radiant 🙂
– worn alone it doesn’t conceal
– Comes in liquid, cream and I believe in powder form as well
– It can be worn alone or under foundation. What I like to do is mix a tiny bit with my tinted moisturizer

Liquids are what you should reach for to shine when the light is low. They offer the most serious highlight, suspending a ton of shimmer in a tiny amount of product. If you're sitting at a candlelit dinner or raving in a dark warehouse, a liquid will harness what little light there is in the room to brighten your face.
