Highlight Hack: 4 Ways to Maximize Your Highlighter
I know I'm not alone when it comes to wanting to get more bang for my buck with it comes to anything I buy, and that includes my MAKEUP purchases! For those of you who wear makeup, you know it can be pretty expensive and even if you're just a makeup "window shopper" you know that even the most basic liquid eyeliner can leave you struggling over whether you need to eat or achieve the perfect cat-eye.

With that being said, I usually like to make sure that I am maximizing all of my makeup tools and potions to their fullest potential! (This is even more true now that I'm moving into a new apartment. I've been trying to stretch my pennies!) Recently, I've been flexing my MAC Mineral Finish dome, which I originally purchased as a cheek highlight. I now have converted it to my go-to overall illuminator.
Below I have listed a few of the ways you can use your own highlighter!
Center Area Under the Bottom Lashes: "This is a trick I use to make eyes really pop and give an open doe-eyed look as opposed to the more common inner corner eye area," shared Suzie. Pro tip: RMS Magic Luminizer is perfect for this.
Tip of the Nose: Lightly dust a powder, like, Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder, on the tip of the nose (not just the bridge, like you're used to). It brings a soft focus to the center of the face. "This works to lengthen features when you're feeling more full or bloated in the face," shared the beauty guru.
Chin: Add a little extra liquid illuminizer, like Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone, for a little more dimension that adds to the overall glow of the face.
Clavicle and Shoulder Tops: "When you're going out and wearing a low-cut or sleeveless top, I love to dust the clavicles and the top of the shoulders to add a little sexy glow," said Suzie. Her pick: Tarte Skin Twinkle Palette.
