Multipurpose Highlighter

[missaa8]

I'm currently in the process of updating my makeup collection and noticed fenty beauty as my only highlighter... who else do I add, though?

Depends on what you like as a highlight @missaa8 .  I like mine blindingly aggressive ✨✨💥💥 😂, so Fenty 👍🏼👍🏼.  I think I have one or two subtle ones and do occasionally highlight with concealer.

If I want to manipulate a glittery highlighter, brush choice or use of a sponge helps.  A tapered brush that isn't dense can make a glittery highlighter more subtle. A dense one, pretty bright.  A sponge can intensify one even more.  Balms can also intensify, or be used for a glowy effect by themselves, especially on cheeks and by the brow.  Liquids for me tend to be less intense, and I don't usually like the line they leave if not blended perfectly, but they make for awesome mix ins with complexion and blush.

@danielledanielle I still wear a mask during the day, so I tend to mostly highlight the corners of my eyes while I'm at work 💅 👁 ✨️ 👁
