Make Up Games and Highlighter


One of the least appreciated make up games is using highlighter to really make your facial features pop. Generally speaking, highlighter is usually used by older women, but it certainly doesn’t have to just be a make up game enjoyed by women of a certain age. The highlighter has plenty it can do for all of us, and I don’t mean hair highlights . Highlighter helps you see the brilliance of your features and it helps those special features stand out to others as well.

Using highlighter is simple. The highlighter is a bit of sparkly concealer. The lighter color brings lightness and freshness to your features. If you dab a bit of highlighter on the inside of your eyes and just a bit along your eyes, you’ll see your eyes stand out a bit from your face dramatically. You can also use the highlighter near the tops of your eyelids to showcase the orbital bone and even on top of your cheekbones to make those bones stand out as well. Everywhere you use highlighter, you’ll be introducing a bit of lightness to your face making you appear youthful and glowing, even if you’re nothing f the sort.

Make Up Games Worth It?

Sometimes I wonder if make up games are really worth it. It’s hard to get motivated to put on a full face in the morning, especially if I’m short on sleep as I am most mornings. Who wants to put on mascara when you feel like rubbing your eyes every few minutes to help you finish waking up? But even when you’re tired there are some minimal steps you can take to be sure that you’re putting your best face forward.

Every girl should be using a moisturizer after washing your face in the morning. A quick trick is to use a tinted moisturizer instead of the regular one you might use. One that has a bit of color helps to even out your skin tone without feeling heavy like make up would. Once you have your tinted moisturizer in place, you just need a bit of lip gloss and you’re ready to hit the town. If you can keep your hands away from your eyes, you might opt for a bit of mascara as well, just to make those tired eyes really pop.
