Learn Contouring and Highlighting Like Celeb’s

If there is one beauty trend that ain’t going anywhere soon, it’s contouring and highlighting; yup you got that right, the makeup trend that Kim Kardashian put on the beauty map has got the entire beauty world hypnotized. 

If there’s anyone who has nailed the art of contouring and highlighting it has to be her, therefore, I thought of giving you a few tips on how you too can learn it all from the queen itself. First of all, let me tell you all that a highlighter comes in 3 different formulas and textures viz. powder, liquid, and gel. 


While they all do the same thing, it is important to know your skin type before you get started.

Powder/pressed/baked highlighter: From drugstore to high end, you’ll definitely find these highlighters online. If you are someone with excessively oily skin or just someone who is looking for a subtle, lit from within glow, this is the illuminator you need. 

If you’re planning on investing in one, do a swatch test first and stay away from highlighters that chunky glitter particles in it. What you need is a formula that when applied over your cheekbones, looks absolutely natural and not as you layered it with chunks of glitter. 

Liquid and gel-based: While these are two different types of illuminators, the effect and finish it gives is nearly the same. Liquid and gel-based highlighters work best with normal to dry skin. 



Dry skin lacks luster but you can definitely bring back that glow and dewy look by simply adding a drop of your favorite liquid lighter to your foundation or by simply applying it all over your face before you get started with your base makeup. 

Liquid highlighters are an ideal match for people who just can’t keep it simple, who crave that blinding glow including popular Youtubers like Jeffery Star.

Now that you know what highlighter makeup is all about, it’s time to nail the art of highlighting and get those supermodel-like cheekbones, just like that!

For face highlighter makeup, swipe the best face highlighter that you have on to your brow bone, the top of your cheekbones (place and blend it where the lights hit your face), the bridge of your nose, the center of your forehead, the chin and yeah your cupid’s bow.

If you’re opting for a tube dress, feel free and highlight your shoulder and collar bone for that oomph factor
