India, Sept. 13 -- If there's one product that can accentuate your look, it is a highlighter. A few well-placed dabs can instantly lift your features, give you a radiant glow and make you look fresh, even on days when you feel the opposite. Highlighters come in different forms, including powder, liquid and cream. The first step to applying highlighter is to decide the formulation you want on your face. Choose what matches your skin type and the look you're going for, whether its subtle radiance or high-glam shine. Remember to choose shades that flatter your skin tone: champagne and golds for warm tones, pinks and pearls for cool tones, peachy tones for deeper skin. If you have oily or combination skin, go for powder highlighters; it sets nicely without feeling heavy. It gives a subtle glow and is great for layering over foundation or matte looks. The best part? It's easy to apply with a brush for buildable, long-lasting radiance. With lightweight formulation, liquid highlighters blend smoothly with your foundation or moisturiser. Reach for these to achieve an intense, dewy glow. Cream highlighters - often available in stick form offer a smooth texture that melts into the skin for a natural sheen. These are most ideal for normal to dry skin. Cream highlighters are travel-friendly and easy to swipe on and blend with fingers. Knowing where to apply your highlighter can make or break your look. The golden rule: apply where light naturally hits your face. Cheekbones: Apply highlighter right above your blush to sculpt and lift. Bridge of the nose: Add a light touch here to elongate. Brow bone: Light strokes right under the arch can make your eyes pop. Cupid's bow: Apply a dab here for the illusion of fuller lips. Inner corners of the eyes: This is a quick hack to instantly brighten tired eyes. Collarbones and shoulders: An optional but gorgeous addition, highlight on the decolletage is perfect for a night out. This is where the magic happens. If your highlight looks loud or out of place, it might be your application. Powder highlighter: Use a fan brush or fluffy brush. Lightly sweep over target areas - blend, don't pile. Liquid highlighter: Dab with your fingers or a damp beauty sponge for a seamless finish. Cream highlighter: Glide gently, then blend with fingers. Remember, less is more. No matter the formula, start with a little and build if needed....
