How to apply luminizer

4. On your cupid’s bow

5. On the collarbones

Only apply luminizer on areas that catch light naturally

Each face is different, so take a good look at yourself in the mirror – with good lighting – to see which areas are best for you. Above the cheekbones is an example.

Shop the right color luminizer for your skin tone.

This will create the most natural looking and subtle effect. For fair to light skin: choose a pearly beige luminizer. For olive skin: go for caramel colors in your luminizer. For darker skin tones: choose golden apricot colors

Highlighters are available in different versions; from powdery textures to fluids. A powder is best applied using a make-up brush, but with creamy or fluid luminizers, your fingers are a great tool. Using your fingers has the advantage of being able to pinpoint the right spot even better, because you can feel the shape of your bones. Whichever method you use, always apply a small amount at first and slowly build it up until you achieve the right effect.

1. The brow bones

This is the place right underneath your brow – only target the last half – from the highest point of the brow bow to the tip of the brow. Highlighting here will give the illusion of more depth and will add a subtle sparkle to your eyes.

2. On the cheekbones

Highlighting your cheekbones will create a subtle contoured effect – as if your cheeks have been lifted slightly. The shine adds a healthy glow.

Apply luminizer on the top of your nose bone until the tip and only target the bottom half. This will make the nose look slimmer.

What is your cupid’s bow? It’s that little V-shape in your upper lip. Apply a small amount on the rim of the bow for an optically fuller upper lip.

Are you wearing a top or dress that reveals your collarbones? Then highlighting your collarbones is recommended. It adds a subtle sexy touch to your daily look. Suddenly, that everyday V-neck top doesn’t look so everyday anymore.

6. On the shoulders

Just like with your collarbones, luminizer on the shoulders adds elegant shine as a subtle eye-catcher. Apply highlighter on the round part of your shoulders.

7. On the wrists

A spot that you wouldn’t think of that quickly are your wrists. But if you have beautiful slender wrists, a subtle shine on the bone – at the side of your pinky finger – that always stands out a little, is a great way to emphasize your elegant wrists.

6. On the shoulders

Just like with your collarbones, luminizer on the shoulders adds elegant shine as a subtle eye-catcher. Apply highlighter on the round part of your shoulders.

7. On the wrists

If you have killer legs, that why not flaunt them with a bit of luminizer? Especially with a slit dress, highlighter on the shins can give the illusion of sexy, luscious legs. You can also choose a luminizer and bronzer in one for your legs, for a subtle tanned effect. It also works great for your arms.
