If you are one of those who cannot leave home without lighting up your complexion, or you are entering the world of highlighter , you are in luck. In this week's post, I am going to tell you all the tricks and secrets of this famous makeup product.

These are the points I'm going to focus on:

• The thousand and one uses of the illuminator

• The most irresistible highlighters on the market

Let's start !?

The thousand and one uses of the illuminator

If you can't live without the illuminator, I understand you, the light it brings to the face is not perfect, it is… VERY PERFECT! ?

The purpose of the illuminator is highlight and illuminate different areas of the face such as the cheek, the Cupid 's bow, the tear or the eyebrow arch. In this way, you will give a new shape and dimension to your skin, naturally and without the need for aesthetic touch-ups.

Five are the   main benefits that the highlighter brings to your complexion and that will not leave you indifferent:

• Boost and give volume to the features of your face.
• Get a good face effect instantly.
• Refine different areas of the face.
• Reduces signs of tiredness.
• Perfect the face to make it look radiant.

But be careful, you must place it in the correct areas, use the right shade and deposit the right amount of product. Otherwise, you can generate the opposite effect and create a shiny mask on your face, which even shines more than the stars. But do not worry, below I am going to give you the steps to apply the highlighter correctly.

The first thing you should do is choose the ideal shade. I recommend that you always use a shade similar to that of your skin:

• If your skin is fair, choose a champagne colored highlighter with pink pigments.
• If, on the other hand, your complexion is brown, the best option is illuminators with golden pigments.

Second, take into account the texture of the highlighter and your skin type because not all highlighters suit all dermis. Therefore, it is very important to identify it from the beginning:

• For oily skin, liquid and powder highlighters will be the best allies.
• If your complexion is dry, I recommend using liquid highlighters.  One of the best tricks is to mix it with your own makeup base, to subtly illuminate the face.
• In the case of combination skin, they are in luck as they can use both  liquid and powder highlighters.

But ... How should you apply it? The trick is to use it in strategic areas of your face and blend it for a fresh and natural look. For example, you can brighten the arch under your eyebrows to  widen the look. Another option is to place the highlighter in the tear duct of the eyes, to open the gaze.

You can also apply the highlighter from the cheekbones to the temples for a radiant complexion. Finally, your lips can appear more voluminous with a subtle touch of light in the Cupid 's bow.

Oh by the way! When applying, you can use a fan-shaped brush, a kabuki brush, or your own fingers.

So far, everything you need to know about brightening and highlighting your complexion. But not everything ends in the face, keep reading because in the next point you will discover a hitherto unknown function of the illuminator.

Body illuminator, the new revolution

Bring the highlighter from the face to the body? Yes, it is now possible with the new body highlighters.

Singer Rihanna was the first to put this type of makeup on the body fashionable, and without a doubt, it looks great on her. Although there are already many celebrities who are following in his footsteps and are enjoying the benefits of the highlighter. Will you be the next?

This modern technique aims to highlight and illuminate different areas of the body like the bones of the clavicles, the shoulders, the tops of the ears and top of the breasts.

Experts recommend applying the highlighter over the body with the help of a kabuki brush, but if you prefer, you can also use your own fingers. Also, I advise you to use liquid or creamy highlighters  . And of course, be careful with your clothes so as not to stain them.

More and more brands are creating their own illuminators for the body, such as the example of W7.

• Life's A Beach Contour Body Cream:  A cream with golden pigments that sculpts and contours the skin very easily. Run to meet her!
