Maybelline Highlighter - Born to shine!
A little glitter goes a long way. Whether you plan on stepping into a spotlight or just bountiful sunshine, a highlighter can illuminate your look effortlessly. A good highlighter makeup allows you to stand out in the most subtle ways without seeming too much. Reflecting the light falling onto your face, a highlighter will accentuate its flattering bone structure and angles. A quick fix to restore your glow, a highlighter can also lend your face a youthful appeal. What’s more, the sheen of a highlighter allows you to draw focus on the best parts of your face, emphasising your features flawlessly. While the shimmery solution is an example of how sometimes a little can go a long way, here’s everything you should keep in mind before investing in one.
Which highlighter to use for your skin type?
An ideal highlighter should smoothly glide through your face makeup and add dimension to it. The sheen of the highlighter should sit gently on your face without seeming too cakey. If your skin tends to get dry then you run the risk of donning a flaky highlighter. Similarly, if you have an oily skin, it might end up looking too greasy when your skin’s natural oils couple with a face highlighter. Thankfully, you can alternate between the pressed powder highlighter, a highlighter cream or a liquid highlighter to best suit the needs of your skin type. Let’s find out how:
Liquid Highlighter:
A liquid highlighter works the best when you are working with dry skin. The liquid highlighter leaves a smooth dewy finish to your makeup look. You can even mix it in with your foundation if you’re looking for a holistic radiance over accentuated features. However, using a liquid highlighter can be a slippery slope if you have an oily skin or you sweat a lot as they tend to melt off, leaving your makeup looking uneven and half done.
Cream Highlighter:
You can directly work with a cream highlighter using your fingers, a makeup brush, or with the highlighter stick that comes with the product. Like a liquid highlighter, these are not as concentrated and leave less shimmer. The cream based highlighter is ideal for those who want to achieve a matte look with a subtle shine.
Powder Highlighter:
Usually with a higher concentration than the other two, a powder highlighter shimmers the most. You can use it with a makeup brush to accentuate your nose bridge, cheek bones, and even collar bones. A powder highlighter works best with oily and normal skin as it sits lightly on the surface. It is the ideal choice for tropical environments as it soaks in excess oil and humidity as well.
What's Special about Maybelline Metallic Highlighter
The Maybelline Face Studio Master Chrome Highlighter combines the best of all types of highlighters. In a pressed powder form, the creamy Maybelline highlighter sits lightly on normal to oily skin but engulfs dry skin in a pearly pigment too - all qualities of a good face highlighter. Found in two shades of shimmer, the Maybelline highlighter illuminates the skin with a metallic finish. Check out the Metallic Highlighter by Maybelline to get the perfectly sculpted, glowing face at all times.
When using the powder highlighter, use a soft makeup brush and apply it in gentle swipes. Try to draw attention to the highest points of your face for light to reflect seamlessly. Eyebrows, cupid’s bow, cheekbones, nose bridge, collar bones, and even chin are few of the most common places to use a highlighter. Ensure that you lightly sprinkle on the Maybelline highlighter to make your blending process easier. It's always easy to start out with small amounts and then dab on more if required. Don’t try to press in the powder highlighter too deep into your base layer to avoid the risk of disrupting your existing makeup.
How to use a face highlighter? Here’s a quick makeup routine
1. Start off with cleansing and priming your face for the makeup routine. Use a matte finish primer to ensure that your pores close and allow for a smooth application.
2. If you want a light makeup look beneath the highlighter’s shimmer, you can go for a skin tint like Maybelline Fit Me Fresh Tint. If you wish to cut no corners before a big day out, go for a foundation closest to your skin tone and create an even base layer with a makeup brush or a blender.
3. After applying the foundation, use a few drops of concealer to softly even out pigmented spots, blemishes, or any other uneven tones.
4. Dive into your eye makeup and experiment with an eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and an eyebrow pencil to create a stunning eye makeup look.
5. Use blush makeup to brush away any excess eye makeup that might have fallen on your face and bring out a blush to add a pop of colour to your cheeks.
6. Now use a highlighter suited to your skin tone and gently paint along the high lines of your face, such as cheek bones, nose bridge, eyebrows, and the cupid’s bow.
7. Go slow with the highlighter. Apply the product gradually in a well lit environment to fairly gauge the amount of shimmer you’re adding to your look. In case you apply excessive highlighter, softly brush it off with a clean sponge blender.
8. Lastly, complete your look with a lipstick that fits well with your eye and skin makeup to create a balanced look. You can also apply lip gloss to add shimmer to your lips.
9. Use a setting face powder or a makeup setting spray to ensure your look stays sealed through the day.

FAQs
A highlighter is a makeup product that adds an illuminating touch to your makeup look. The shimmery powder gives definition to your facial features and reflects light to create a glowing, vibrant makeup look.

Maybelline highlighter shades are available in a range of luminous finishes to suit different skin tones.

For a subtle glow, lightly sweep highlighter onto the high points of the face and blend thoroughly. For a bolder effect, build additional layers on the cheekbones and bridge of the nose. Consider using products from the Maybelline highlighter range to adjust the intensity of your look.
The best highlighter for a natural glow is one that blends seamlessly into the skin and reflects light without appearing overly sparkly. Soft champagne, pearl, or gold shades can create a fresh, radiant finish suitable for everyday highlighter makeup looks. For this effect, Maybelline highlighters are among the best choices, as they melt into the skin smoothly and create a fresh, luminous glow that looks natural in everyday makeup.

To achieve a natural finish, apply a small amount of highlighter and blend well using a brush or fingertips. For best results, choose a shade that complements your skin tone and build gradually so that your highlighter makeup looks smooth and skin-like rather than overly reflective.
