What is a Highlighter?

A highlighter is a makeup product designed to reflect light and give your skin a luminous, glowing finish. Think of it as a secret weapon to enhance your best features—it brings attention to the high points of your face like cheekbones, nose, and brow bone.

Types of highlighters include:

• Powder: Great for oily skin and beginners.
• Cream: Ideal for dry skin and a natural glow.
• Liquid: Offers intense shine, perfect for glam looks.

Understanding Your Skin Tone

 Before picking your highlighter, it helps to know your undertone:

• Warm undertones: Your skin has a golden, yellow, or peachy tint.
• Cool undertones: Your skin leans pink, red, or bluish.
• Neutral undertones: You’ve got a mix of both.

How to Find Yours?

• Look at your veins: Green = warm, Blue/Purple = cool, Can’t tell? You might be neutral.
• How does your skin react to the sun? Tan = warm, Burn = cool.
