The Glow Up – Highlighter Tips for a Radiant Spring Look

We’ve covered brows, eyes, and blush—now it’s time for that finishing touch: glow. 

Highlighter is the easiest way to bring your spring makeup to life. Whether you're into a soft, lit-from-within sheen or a pop of radiance, it’s all about placement and blend. Here's how to get that perfect springtime glow without overdoing it.

The Trick: Strategic Highlighting for a Natural Radiance

Pick Your Product:

• Cream or liquid highlighters melt into the skin for a more natural finish.

• Powder formulas are great when you want a bit more pop or layering over blush.

Choose Your Glow Zones:

• Cheekbones (classic!)

• Brow bone (right under the arch)

• Cupid’s bow (adds a touch of lift)

• Bridge of the nose (for dimension)

• Inner corners of the eyes (brightens your whole face)

The Key Step: Blend it in like it’s part of your skin—not sitting on top. A tapered brush like the 944 is perfect for diffused placement, while the 788 side of the 969 is great for smaller spots like the brow bone or Cupid’s bow. For cream formulas, the 953 Duo Fiber Brush gives a beautiful, seamless finish.

Why It Works: Highlighting catches the light in all the right places and gives your complexion a healthy, fresh-faced feel. It pairs perfectly with the rest of your soft spring routine.
