We all want that gorgeous glow on our faces, don’t we? Gone are the times when we wanted to hide shine on the skin with matte powders. Highlighting is surely the new contouring of the beauty world. Working to give you a glow and make you look more awake, highlighter is a wonderful way to infuse a little bit of life into your look.

Types Of Highlighter Makeup
Since highlighter makeup seems to be just about as popular as blush, the choices you face at a department or drugstore can feel absolutely staggering.
1. Liquid Highlighters
Liquid highlighters are the most versatile no matter your skill level. One dab can illuminate a matte foundation, define cheekbones, or add all over shimmer! Also, these are more pigmented than powder-based formulas so you can use them to accentuate or brighten specific areas of your face. With their light lotion-like base, these can also add life to your foundation.
2. Powder Highlighters
This is a highlighter which gives you a perfect matte finish with sheen and shiny effect. You can use them over your foundation and blush for an overall dewy finish. It’s essential to blend these in properly to avoid a stripe of obvious shimmer. This type of matte finish highlighters actually helps you to hide your pores and clogs and thus highlights your features very radiantly.
3. Cream Highlighters
The creamy texture of the highlighter helps to evenly spread on your skin tone covering all the clogs and pores to give a perfect looking flawless skin. By hitting tiny areas of the face like under the brow bone, the cupid’s bow, and the inner eye corner, you can trick the light without even dirtying a brush, minimal blending required. Creamy highlighters stay for longer time period.
