Contouring has become a hot trend lately in the makeup world but is something I have not attempted. One thing I do love from contouring is highlighting, it’s been something I have been using for years. This multi-purposeful beauty product gives your skin a glow and can help blur imperfections. I have used a few different highlighters but my favorite by far is Benefit's High Beam. The color is a soft pink that flatters most skin tones and the texture is thick enough to stay put all day. Here are a few others that would work great.

I use it daily to help my eyes look more awake and refreshed. I also use it to help my dark circles look better. For a special night out or when I’m taking more time to do my makeup I’ll highlight my cheekbones and cupids bow too.
In my daily routine I put some under my eyebrows and in the inner corner of my eyes. I find that gives my skin a more awake and refreshed look. I also apply it under my eyes before I put on concealer. The highlighter helps soften my dark circles so I require less cover up.
- After moisturizing put 2 to 3 dots of concealer under each eyebrow and blend it along the brow bone.
- Put a small dot on your fingers and blend into inner corner of each eye
- Finish the rest of your makeup as usual
- After moisturizing put 3 dots under eyes
- Blend along dark circles and down on side of the nose
- Apply foundation as normal and then concealer if needed
- After applying foundation and blush blend a few drops of highlighter along cheekbones
- The most amount of highlighter should be on the apples and blended out
- Blend a tiny bit of highlighter along the cupid bow before applying lipstick
Happy Monday, darling! Such a great post! I've heard so many great things on contouring but I've never done it myself. I tend not to wear too much make-up but I really love the products shown here! Might try them :)! Thanks for sharing!
