Has there ever been a better time to
create a glowing look than in the summer? Doubtful! The good news is,
it’s easier than ever to get your glow on with the help of a little highlighter.
But you don’t just have to simply swipe and go—there are quite a few
highlighting trends out there you can have fun testing out. From
multi-colored to barely there, there’s a look for everyone. Without
further ado, here are eight highlighter makeup trends to try for
yourself this season.
[post_ads_2]Highlighter Makeup Trend #1: Rainbow Bright
If you’re feeling colorful, give
wearing highlighters that resemble rainbows a shot. Don’t shy away from
the vivid pigment—while they may not suit your everyday style, they’re
perfect for a night on the town or a special occasion. Layer colors onto
your cheeks in ROYBGIV order for a truly prismatic color, or pick your
favorite bright shade to top your cheekbones. Try the L’Oréal Paris True Match™ Lumi Powder Glow illuminator in Ice,
which features four hues including a purple and a blue. Swirl all the
shades together or the pick the pastel you’re most partial to and wear
just one.
Highlighter Makeup Trend #2: Tip of the Nose
By now, it’s basically common knowledge
that placing highlighter down the bridge of your nose can give the
illusion of a slimming effect—but this isn’t the only way to use
highlighter on your nose. You may have noticed social media stars have
been trailblazers in making it trendy to add a highlight to just the tip
of your nose. Give the tip a gentle dusting of highlighter—all you need
is a teeny bit to glow without looking greasy.
[post_ads_2]Highlighter Makeup Trend #3: Holographic Hues
There’s no reason you have to look like
an earthly creature. Out-of-this-world, holographic highlighters are
the perfect way to go for a galaxy-inspired look. These shining shades
shift colors in the light. One minute your highlight may appear blue,
but when the sun hits your face, it seemingly becomes purple.
Highlighter Makeup Trend #4: Non-touring
Chances are you’ve tried contouring before—but have you heard about non-touring? Non-touring is a no makeup, makeup look that focuses completely on getting that just-right glow. Start with a luminizing primer like the L’Oréal Paris Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer,
smoothing it over your face for allover radiance. Follow with a tinted
moisturizer, then add your most natural-looking highlighter to the high
points of your face.
[post_ads_2]Highlighter Makeup Trend #5: Heavy Metal
Metals aren’t just for your jewelry and
your hair—you can put them on your face, too. We have a feeling you’ll
never feel more luxe than when you’re rocking rose gold on your cheeks.
Dot the L’Oréal Paris True Match™ Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator in Rose onto your cheekbones and blend out with your fingertip for a luxurious glistening.
Highlighter Makeup Trend #6: Getting Glossy
Gloss isn’t just for your lips. If you
aren’t interested in a super-shimmery highlight, opt for a gloss that
gleams. Dab a small amount onto just your cheeks to help add stylish
shine (without looking greasy). Instead of looking dipped in glitter,
your skin will seem effortlessly dewy and fresh.
[post_ads_2]Highlighter Makeup Trend #7: Dead Center
Picking wild colors isn’t the only way
to be unexpected with your highlighter choices—you can also add shimmer
to surprising spots. Your cheeks have had enough love and light.
Instead, wear your highlighter straight down the middle of your face.
That’s right—lightly sweep an illuminator that complements your skin
tone over the center of your forehead, down your nose, above your
cupid’s bow, and onto your chin. Your glow will look subtle, not
overdone.
Highlighter Makeup Trend #8: Mix Master-ing
Even if you only own a single
highlighter, that doesn’t mean you have to be limited to creating just
one look. Start with a liquid highlight and get to concocting. In
addition to wearing your favorite illuminator alone, try mixing it with
your foundation, moisturizer, or facial oil to help create different lit
from within looks.
