This is the most delicate, shimmering and stunning highlighter I've seen this year and it's from Stila. A decent highlighter is worth it's weight in gold (pun intended), and one that is not glittery, but just has the right amount of lifting effect can knock years off. It's all about where to put the highlighter. Here's some tips.
- A highlighter naturally should be placed where you want to lift the face, so upper cheekbones and browbones.
- To accentuate lips and make them appear fuller, put a small amount on the cupids bow, or dab a pop of highlighter in the middle of the lips over gloss.
- Sweep across the collarbone to give an instant glam look - use on top of moisturiser to just give that dewy gleam.
- Again you can get a large brush and just give a sweep down shin bones to elongate the legs and give the illusion of shimmer tights. Make sure you moisturise legs first though.
- Apply to the inner corner of the eye to make eyes appear brighter and more set apart.
- Many makeup artists like to use highlighter down the middle of the nose to make it appear more elongated and slimmer however, whilst this is 'Instagram photo look', I would advise just using a lighter foundation. Remember with all highlighters less is more!
This great highlighter isn't glittery, contains ultra fine shimmer particles and gives skin that inner luminous glow. The consistency is almost mousse like, and so is easy to apply without having to use a brush. It presses into the skin easily with a sponge or fingertips and simply blends without looking obvious. It's a beautiful compact and would make a lovely present, albeit it would be hard to give away! Check out the glowing (another pun) reviews on their website at www.stila.co.uk
