Highlighter

Highlighter: light that enhances your features

A highlighter reflects light, making the areas where you apply it stand out while the rest of the face recedes slightly. The result is a fresh, well-rested look with a glow. Highlighter Baked is a powder highlighter with a subtle rose-gold sheen. It is fragrance-free, dermatologically tested and vegan, and is particularly good for normal and oily skin.

Where should you use highlighter?

• Cheekbones: on top of the cheekbone, towards the temple.
• Under the brow bone: a light sweep opens up the eyes.
• Bridge of the nose and above the upper lip: a little adds freshness.
• Collarbones: lovely with a dress or blouse that leaves the neckline bare.

You can also use Highlighter Baked as a light eyeshadow or as a highlighter in your eye makeup.

Makeup highlighter for everyday wear and special occasions

For everyday wear, a light sweep on the cheekbones is enough to give a fresh, well-rested look. If you have mature skin, you may want to keep the highlighter to your cheekbones and brow bone. For special occasions, you can build up more glow and use Highlighter Baked as a light eyeshadow on the eyelid or in the inner corner of the eye to open up the eyes. Highlighter Baked is particularly good for normal and oily skin, and if you have dry skin, moisturise it well before applying.

How to get a natural glow

Less is more. Take a little powder on a small, soft brush or your fingertip and build up the glow in light layers. Apply a powder highlighter last, on top of foundation and powder. Highlighter looks best on well-cared-for skin, so moisturise first, especially if your skin is dry. Combine with bronzer and bronzing powder for a sun-kissed look, or see our selection for more glow.
