LUMINISE ME...

Lets talk highlighting do's and dont's.

Using my beauty makeup guide book from Rae Morris, I'm giving you the tips to know about using illuminators. Does anyone else get confused on where you're suppose to apply a highlighter?

Follow this pick to discover the true benefits of highlighting your gorgeous face!
 Do:
  • Wax that upper lip girls! When applying illuminator to your cupids bow know one wants to see moustaches highlighted!
  • Pale skin tones should opt for illuminators in sheer 'eggshell' soft gold pigments and creams
  • Medium skin tones; soft golds and rose golds are your friends.
  • Purchase deep gold and bronzes for a highlighter if you have a darker complexion
  • Black skin tones should choose illuminators that are burgundy, dark and shimmery chocolate.

Don't:
  • Never use white or silver greys to highlight your skin. The exception is in the inner corners of the eye.
  • I advise you not to draw attention to your brow bone if it's not prominent to begin with. Expert Rae Morris says, "never highlight something you don't want people to look at".
  • Avoid cream highlighter on your lids, as cream creates a crease. But, please feel free to use them elsewhere!

My FAB fav is MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel $40
