What are Highlighters and Illuminators?

Highlighter makeup adds a subtle radiance to the skin. A highlighter is a light-reflecting makeup that illuminates the face at certain points. It is applied on the forehead, nose, chin and cheekbones. A face highlighter is perfect for accentuating different features and achieving an overall dewy look. How you apply highlighter is totally up to you. Some people apply it on top of their foundation. Others apply it before the foundation or mix it with the foundation itself to create a luminous base. There are different types of face highlighters like liquid highlighters and powder highlighters. Illuminators, on the other hand, add a uniform, overall glow to the skin.
