Highlighter Pro Tips

Everything you need to know about highlighting, from a sheer, second-skin dewy balm to a more statement shimmer, discover all the tips and tricks to really pop those high points and faux your glow.

Glowing skin is always in, while having a great skincare routine will help your natural glow, sometimes we need a little extra. And, that’s where facial highlighter makeup can make all the difference to your look. Highlighting is all about mimicking the way that natural light catches and reflects off our bone structure, effectively popping those points and adding definition with a splash of brightening. If you’re unsure where to put highlighter or any mineral face makeup, just use your bone structure as a guide.

Trace your highlighter along the top of your cheek makeup, brow bones, down the center of your nose to the tip, on your bow right above your lip makeup, and in the center of your chin and forehead. Make sure to blend the highlighter well. You can also pair your highlighting with contours and bronzers too for a more sculpted, defined look. Depending on the type of effect you want to create, for a more dewy, sheer, natural highlighting effect, a highlighting balm will be your go-to. For a more shimmer-intense, statement highlighter, try a pressed powder. Illuminating, buildable, and in a variety of hues, powder highlighters give a soft-focus effect for a luminosity and light that’s photo-ready. All our highlighters are skincare infused makeup, containing only ethically sourced, eco-friendly mica, and are talc-free and mineral-based, so they’re suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Highlighter Makeup

What is a highlighter in makeup used for?

Highlighter makeup is used to bring light and dimension to your face by enhancing the high points—like your cheekbones, brow bones, and nose. This beauty essential reflects light to create a radiant glow, adding brightness and lift to your features. Whether you choose a cream stick, powder, or balm, it helps your skin look fresh, healthy, and luminous.

What is the best makeup highlighter?

The best highlighter makeup depends on your preferred finish and skin type. For a subtle, dewy glow highlighter, a cream highlighter stick melts seamlessly into the skin. If you love a more defined, photo-ready effect, opt for a powder highlighter with light-reflecting shades. Glo Skin Beauty offers both cream and powder formulas, all mineral-based and enriched with skincare ingredients for a healthy-looking face.

Do you put highlighter on before or after foundation?

Apply highlighter makeup after your foundation to ensure it reflects light effectively and adds dimension. Whether you're using a cream, stick, or powder formula, layering it on top of your base allows the glow to really shine. For a soft, lit-from-within effect, some makeup artists also apply a cream highlighter under foundation—especially on dry skin.

How to do highlighter makeup for beginners?

Start with a beginner-friendly highlighter stick or cream formula for easy blending. Dab onto the high points of your face—like the tops of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow. Blend with your fingers or a brush for a natural glow. You can also experiment with powder highlighter in multiple shades to match your mood or makeup look. The goal is to enhance your features using light for a soft, radiant finish that flatters your skin.
