How to Apply Liquid Highlighter for Natural Dewy Glow (No Oily Shine)

If you always feel your makeup flat and lifeless, liquid highlighter is the easiest way to add three-dimensional glow to your face. Many people fail with liquid highlighter, getting overly glittery or oily-looking skin. With standard application skills, you can achieve natural, premium dewy skin every time.

Why choose liquid highlighter over powder highlighter

Liquid highlighter has ultra-fine shimmer particles and lightweight texture. It blends seamlessly with base makeup, creating skin-transparent glow instead of fake glitter. It is more durable, not easy to fly powder, and suitable for both daily minimalist makeup and party delicate makeup.

Step-by-step guide to apply liquid highlighter

  1. Complete foundation and concealer, do not set powder temporarily.
  2. Take a tiny amount of liquid highlighter, dot on cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bone and cupid’s bow.
  3. Pat gently with fingertips to spread evenly for a luminous finish.
  4. Apply a thin layer of setting powder for oily skin to fix the glow.

Best crowd for liquid highlighter

  • People who love dewy, glossy skin texture
  • Dry and normal skin with dull complexion
  • Makeup lovers who need photo-friendly luminous makeup

It is also friendly for oily skin. Only a small amount is needed to avoid greasy visual effect.

Common highlighter mistakes to avoid

  • Using too much product, resulting in exaggerated oily shine
  • Applying on fully powdered skin, causing uneven shimmer
  • Coating the whole face with highlighter, losing three-dimensional sense
