Having a highlighter in your makeup arsenal is a great way to perk up your skin and give yourself a nice and natural glow. But if it’s your first time venturing into the world of highlighting, today’s Beauty Tip of the Day will help you out with how to wear and apply it.

The main areas that you should apply your highlighter are the cheekbones (smile or do a fish face to find the protruding area), brow bones, and the cupid’s bow above your lips. Wearing it in these three places will help to brighten up your face’s complexion without much effort.

Though make sure that you stay away from oil-prone areas like your nose and forehead.

Those with normal to dry skin should look at liquid highlighter formulas, like the ever-popular High Bean from Benefit. Oily skin types should look into powder versions instead, like Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick.
