Highlighter Palette
A highlighter palette is used to help you accentuate some of the best features on your face. If you’re looking for the perfect shade to match your skin tone, you’ll find plenty of options to choose from when you shop at the CVS online store.
What Is a Highlighter Palette?
Highlighter is a product that contains ingredients, such as finely pulverized mica, that reflect light to highlight your bone structure and other parts of your face. Typically used alongside contour, highlighter may give your face an instant lift and glow by creating light to contrast the shadow. A highlighter palette contains several shades, which allows you to create dimension. You may also blend several colors using a beauty blender to create the perfect shade for your skin tone. Highlighter is the best makeup option to help brighten the overall appearance of your face.
How to Use a Highlighter Palette
Start by choosing highlighter colors that are approximately two shades lighter than your skin tone. For skin with warm undertones or those with a yellow appearance, choose gold and bronze shades, and for cool undertones or those that appear pink or blue, opt for highlighters in shades of pearly white or silver.
Highlighter should be used minimally on areas of the face that naturally attract light. Use an applicator or your fingers to apply a small amount just above your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, in the corners of your eyes, underneath your brown bones on top of your eye shadow and along the center of your chin. You can also apply a touch to the center of your lips on top of your lipstick to make your lips appear fuller, or apply a touch to your collarbones to create a sun-kissed glow.
When Do You Apply Highlighter?
When you apply highlighter is determined by the type of look you want to achieve. Apply the product before you smooth on foundation to create a luminous base for your makeup, or apply it afterward to make specific areas of your face pop. Applying powder highlighter after your foundation using a fan brush or a medium makeup applicator may provide a more even appearance.
What Is the Best Highlighter Palette?
The best highlighter palette matches your foundation formula. For example, for powder foundation, choose a matching powder highlighter to help the two products blend together. Some of the best highlighter palettes also contain shades that can double as blush, making them a versatile part of any makeup bag.
