Highlighter is basically any means to give the skin radiance or shine. They perfectly emphasize the natural volumes of the face and highlight areas that you want to bring out of the shadows. They have been loved by many, including celebrities (the highlighter is a frequent guest on the red carpet): it is easy to use, and makeup immediately becomes more effective.
Where to apply?
The product can be used as a glitter: for eyelids or lips, cheekbones or cheeks. It can be applied according to the classical scheme: in the inner corner of the eye - to refresh the look, on the tick above the upper lip - so the lips become visually larger, on the protruding parts of the cheekbones - to make the face more relief. Some people like to use highlighters on the nose: a little shine on the tip of the nose makes it visually sharper. Makeup artist James Molloy applies a little under his eyebrow and on his nose bridge.

NYX Cosmetics A bit jelly Gel Illuminator
This jelly melts and becomes plastic from the warmth of the hands. Gives a light glow with a bluish overflow, looks great on the body or on the eyelids. The disadvantage of packaging is that the product must be typed in by hand, and if used on the whole body, it can quickly run out.
What color should I choose?
Focus on your personal taste. There are a few nuances: golden or yellowish highlighters may look foreign on very light skin, so it may be better to use a cold or neutral shade. On darker leathers, white colours are difficult to grow and can be built into your makeup, so it may be worth paying attention to shades that are close to the color of your skin for a more natural shade.

M.A.C.Pro Pigment
Dry pigments take up little space in the cosmetic bag but can break up if you screw the lid in badly. They shine brightly, look great, can be used as shadows or mixed with creams and cosmetics for experimentation. If the pigment is packed in a thick layer, it will be more shiny; if you use a loose brush like a fan brush and apply a little, you will get a light glare.
What to apply?
Highlighters are available in a variety of formats - dry, liquid and sticks. That's why there are so many ways to apply them. For example, dry textures are best applied with a loose brush such as a fan brush (e.g. Manly K40 or Sephora Pro) for a faded, blurry effect; creamy textures are best applied with hands or thicker brushes. Long-pile brushes like Annbeauty A10 fit well. You can use fingers or a sponge, but you should be aware that the glitter from the highlighter may not be completely washed out of it.

Milk Makeup has a variety of sticks to choose from, whether they're shiny or holographic. It looks unusual, shines delicately, giving a glimpse of light when the light falls on them.
