FAQs about Liquid Highlighter Hacks 

Highlighting the answers to your questions!

Q1 Why do people choose liquid highlighters over sticked or powdered ones?

Everyone is subject to their own preferences. However, most people lean towards liquid highlighters only because their formulas are easier to control and give you a more precise, glowing finish. Also, I personally feel, the powders don’t last for that long but liquid highlighters stay on like a dream - although I have oily skin.

Q2 Do I need a brush to apply liquid highlighter?

Brushes are largely preferred due to their versatility and ability to apply cream, liquid, and powder formulas evenly. So, a fluffy brush or a fanned angled brush can be used to deposit small amounts of the product evenly. If not, you can rely on your fingers as well.
