Is It Really Possible To Use Too Much Highlighter?
By LESLIE LEON
Highlighter helps add an extra flair to any makeup look, so you want to make sure you’ve mastered how to apply it. Everyone wants to get that glowing-from-within look, but it’s also important to know when to stop before you get an undesired glare instead.
There is a limit to the amount of highlighter you should use because too much can make you appear shiny and sweaty. Elle Australia’s beauty director Amy Starr says, “In 2D, flecks of glitter help to create the illusion of dimension, but in the street, all that glitter can just be blinding.”
Masterclass recommends putting highlighter on the high points of your face, from the tip of your nose to the brow bones. Also, apply the product with your finger as this will give you more control in building it up, while allowing you to blend the product more smoothly.
