Today's Highlight

Highlighter – matching the shine of the skin on your face to your body is really important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Highlighter can really amp up the look of the skin on your face but you need to remember that our skin continues onto the rest of us, it isn’t disconnected from the neck down! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So when you’re highlighting the high points of your face – firstly if you’re highlighting your nose for example, it doesn’t make sense that your cheeks, forehead etc are matte! Swipe to see my point (also as a side note: be careful when highlighting the skin running from your nose to your top lip )⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Equally if you or your client is wearing a gown showing décolleté, shoulders, collar bones, it’s looks cohesive to bring your highlighter onto the body. My preference is to use Illuminiser as it’s creamy and sits beautifully on the skin, giving the effect of the glow coming from ‘within’ the skin rather than sitting on top of the skin as a powder product does. Then when someone is viewing the whole of you, your skin looks amazing all the way through. 

I particularly like @kryolanaustralia shimmering event foundation in Golden Beige or Pearl.

Body oil works well too.

Matching the highlighter on the face to the body – so that skin is uniform

Highlighter – it doesn’t make sense if the nose is highlighted and yet the rest of the face is matte – all high points must match. Also you need to take caution highlighting from the nose to the top lip!
