Recently, we have seen the likes of Rihanna and the Kardashian clan use highlighters not just on their faces, but liberally on their bodies as well. What does a highlighter do, you ask? Well, used right, it can do wonders! It gives you that lit-from-within glow (and who doesn’t want that?), can make your eyes look wider and your lips, plumper!

Here, we show you the 7 points on your face where you can apply a highlighter and look like you constantly have a candle-light filter!
 

Highest point on your cheekbones

Highest point on your cheekbones

Get model-worthy cheekbones by using a fan-brush and applying a highlighter like the Lakmé Absolute Moon-Lit Highlighter just above you cheekbones and below the outer corners of your eyes. This gives you an instant face-lift.

 

Eyes

Eyes

There are two points on your eye lids that you can use highlighter on to achieve a wide-eyed look. These are the inner corners of your eyes and on the middle of your eyelids. Perfect for those days when you’ve had a late night! For your eyes, you can even substitute the highlighter with shimmery-gold or nude eye shadows from the Lakmé 9to5 Eye Quartet – Silk Route palette.

 

Under eyes

Under eyes

For the area under the eyes, you can use an illuminating foundation like the Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Foundation instead of a highlighter as it will give you coverage along with a bit of sheen. Simply pat the product over the area with your ring-finger. This will brighten the skin and hide dullness.

Brow bone

Apply highlighter just under your eyebrows, starting at the arch and extend it till the tail end. This highlights the eye brow and adds definition to your face.

Nose

The bridge of your nose catches light when you are outside, right? So, apply highlighter along the length of your nose to make your nose look slimmer than it really is!

 

Cupid’s bow

Rihanna does this trick every time and we are sold. Apply a little highlighter lightly just on the ‘V’ at the centre of your upper lip and make your lips look instantly plumper. We assure you this is a game changer!

Lower lip

Don’t let your lower lip feel left out, apply a dot of highlighter on the centre of your lower lips, on top of your lipstick, to give them a fuller appearance.
