Methods/Steps

1 Before applying highlighter powder on your face, lightly dip the back of your hand on it to avoid getting too much powder on the brush.

2T zone: The focus of the highlight in the T zone should be on the nose, making the bridge of the nose appear higher and straight and delicate under the illusion of sight.

Zone 3C: Apply white or pearlescent highlighter powder on the brow bone and upper cheekbones outwards.

4 Chin: Apply a light layer of highlighter powder on the chin to balance the center of gravity of the entire face and show an overall three-dimensional effect.

5 Apply shadow color on both sides of the nose bridge, so that the upper end of the nose shadow can be perfectly connected with the eyebrows "euphemistically".

6 Next, apply a dark color on the side of the nose and a narrow strip of light color on the bridge of the nose to make the nose appear longer.

7 Apply dark blush between the hairline and the ears to visually reduce the width of the face.

8Finally, apply shadow on the jawbone area to increase the three-dimensional effect of the face.

1 Where are the best places to place highlights and shadows?

The highlight area is not difficult to find, and is mainly concentrated in the center of the face. The T zone is a common highlight area, which includes the forehead, nose bridge and jaw. Also, the nasolabial folds at the corners of the mouth should also be highlighted. In addition, when you smile, the zygomatic muscles that bulge outside the eyes move to the cheekbones as you smile, which is where you apply blush, and the shadow area is below the blush area.

How to highlight a heart-shaped face?

A heart-shaped face usually has a pointed chin and wider eyebrows and forehead area. So when adding highlights and shadows, the goal is to balance the visual effects of the forehead and chin.

To find the perfect cheek contour placement, remember to spot the shadow range first. When reducing the size of a heart-shaped face, remember to add shadows to the sides of your cheeks and forehead. If you want your nose to appear taller, you can also add shadows to the wings of your nose and highlight the bridge of your nose.

3How to highlight an ellipse?

An oval face shape is also known as an oval face shape. The forehead is only slightly wider than the chin, and the face is longer. Considering the oval face shape, we focus on highlighting the facial contours.

Focus the shadow on the forehead and chin to reduce the facial contours and make the eyes the center of the face. The shadow you choose can be darker and extend all the way to the hairline so it doesn't appear too obvious.

A shadow on the wings of your nose can make your nose look slimmer, and a subtle contour along the sides of your nose and a shadow under your lips can make your features look more three-dimensional.

How to highlight a square face?

The most prominent feature of a square face is a very angular chin. The lines on both sides of the face are straight, and the width of the face is almost equal to the length, so it is difficult to add highlights and shadows.

To blend out sharp facial lines and create soft edges for a square face, an orange-leaning concealer is the best way to soften the softest tones of your facial contours while also neutralizing dullness in your skin.

After setting the makeup, lightly apply a layer of highlighter powder on your face to balance the center of gravity of the entire face and show an overall three-dimensional effect, and you're done. How about it, the effect is pretty good, right?
