This technique is really very easy, but people tend to get the concept of this look wrong. I know that I personally need fairly good coverage, so buying a water-based foundation or mixing some illuminating crème with my regular foundation never worked.
The trick is the place highlighter in the right places. If you leave your face unpowdered it won’t look dewy; it will look oily. So here are the steps you need to follow to get that youthful glowing look.
First apply your foundation as you normally would. Leave it unpowdered for now as we will be adding more cream products.
Then apply your favourite highlighter onto your outer cheekbones (do NOT bring it further in than the pupil of your eye), on your cupids bow which is the dip in your upper lip, a very thin line on the bridge of your nose and on the inner tear-ducts of your eyes.
If you are wearing a dress or top that shows some cleavage, you can also add some onto your collar bones and a little bit on your breasts just before they meet the top of your dress/top. This will make your chest appear bigger and your shoulders skinnier!
I would suggest layering a lightly shimmered powder over the areas you have just highlighted to make it last all day. You want to make sure the shimmer in this is very fine, leaving a glowing effect rather than chunks of glitter on your face. Lastly, apply a loose powder to the rest of your face making sure to blend the shimmered powder so there are no harsh lines.
And that’s it! There’s no hidden secret or product, it’s all about knowing where to highlight and where to shadow. These are the professional, long-lasting tricks of the trade. Placement and layering is everything when it comes to make-up, so get highlighting those cheekbones missies!
