Quick Answer

For a natural glow, apply a liquid highlighter to the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid's bow—and blend with your fingertips or a damp sponge for a seamless, lit-from-within finish.

Why Liquid Highlighter for a Natural Glow?

Liquid highlighters offer a more subtle, skin-like radiance compared to powders, which can sometimes look obvious or settle into fine lines. They blend easily into foundation or bare skin, making them ideal for achieving a dewy, fresh look without heavy shimmer.

Choosing the Right Shade

Select a shade that complements your skin tone. For fair to light skin, go with champagne or pearl tones. Medium skin tones suit rose gold or peach, while deeper skin tones look stunning with golden bronze or copper shades like the Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter in Sunset Glow.

How to Apply Liquid Highlighter for a Natural Glow

  1. 1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a moisturized and primed face. Liquid highlighter blends best on hydrated skin, so apply your usual moisturizer and primer. Wait a minute for products to absorb. Skipping moisturizer can cause the highlighter to patch or cling to dry spots.
  2. 2. Apply to High Points: Use the applicator or your fingertip to dot a small amount of liquid highlighter onto the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, your brow bone, and your cupid's bow. Less is more—you can always build up. Avoid placing highlighter too low on the cheeks; it can drag the face down visually.
  3. 3. Blend Gently: Using your ring finger or a damp makeup sponge, gently tap and blend the highlighter into your skin. Do not rub or swipe, as this can disturb your base makeup. For a seamless finish, blend until no harsh edges remain. Tapping motion sheers out the product for a natural glow; rubbing can remove foundation.
  4. 4. Build Intensity if Desired: Once the first layer is blended, assess the glow. If you want more radiance, apply a second thin layer only to the highest points, like the cheekbone peaks. Blend again using the same tapping motion. Overapplying at once can look greasy; thin layers give you control.
  5. 5. Set with Powder (Optional): If you have oily skin or want extra longevity, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the highlighted areas. This locks the glow in place without dulling it completely. Too much powder can mattify the highlighter; use a light hand.
