Just the Highlights: This Makeup Trick Will Give You an Unbeatable Onstage Glow

March 8, 2018

To give your performance look an instant boost, swipe on one of these shimmering highlighters as the finishing touch to your makeup routine. Made in a range of pearlescent colors from frosty lavenders and pinks to rich golds and bronzes, there’s a highlighter to complement every role. Apply the product to the high points of your face (cheekbones, bridge of the nose and cupid’s bow) for maximum impact under the stage lights. For more glow when using a powder, spritz your brush (or BeautyBlender) with a face mist first to create a super-pigmented finish they’ll see from the fourth ring.
