a lot of famous beauty guru's in you tube  using all the famous brand and high end products .The current favourite  BECCA champagne pop.
Oh yes , it has a beautiful shade ans the that shade comes with a pretty price tag too! $58!
Since Highlighters  are so expensive, i tend to purchase affordable or the medium priced range ones.


Did you know that you can use eye shadows and blush as a Highlighter?
Oh yes , you can ! now that you know , you can go creative with the brands and colours.
Today i decided to share my version of highlighter that looks great on me !


 E.L.F Blush
Giddy Gold (dupe for NARS Taj mahal )

It's a peachy gold shade . it has  gold shimmer to it . it can be double up as bronzer too! how cool is that !
Gotta Glow:(dupe for NARS  Albatross)
It's a pearl white blush which has glitter  of gold in it. it is  quite powdery, so try  to  lightly  tap the excess blush from the brush before applying.And  don't forget  to blend the colours . if you ask me it looks great as a highlighter then blush .Haha

E.L.F -ENCHANTED  " eye-shadow

In the many reviews , that i read ENCHANTED  Happens to be  the due for Becca 'Champagne Pop'
I was read a lot of reviews that 'ENCHANTED "  is the dupe for Becca 'Champagne Pop' 
If  you seen my  recent spring full glam makeup look video i have  used  enchanted  eye shadow  as the highlighter . (click the link to view  my video ) I really like adore  colour  its not powdery  at all. You can use  tapered , stipple or foundation brush to  apply it.



I have a oily skin so i don't  apply  a lot on my face  cause it will attracts light and draws attention to certain areas of the face, it’s best to avoid placing highlighter directly onto acne, or acne scars. It accentuates any blemish or mark that's composed of uneven, raised, or indented skin.so little is more .

I have seen few pictures in Instagram  people just cover their entire face with highlight and end up looking  like a  disco ball!!!! and their whole face is glowing with glitter  . I don't  think you wanna go out like that , so which is the right  way to apply highlighter?

Here are  few tips on how to use and how and apply  highlighter 

What It Does:

Highlighter is a product that can completely change your look.  If applied correctly, it gives you that glowing look.highlighter gives a reflective dewy look .so it catches the light and draws the eye to the areas where it is applied.


How to Choose the right Highlighter :

Highlighter powder is available in a variety of colours and finishes. If you have oily skin, shimmer can make your skin look greasy, so a matte highlighter is a better option. For fair to medium skin, a sheer pink or pearl highlighter is usually most flattering. If you have darker skin, stick to sheer gold or peach tones that won’t look ashy.

How to Apply:

A brush is the best option but you also use  a sponge or sponge-tip.A fluffy brush works well for highlighter powder because it diffuses the product for a soft glow – but don’t choose one that’s too big, or you’ll spread the highlighter over too large an area.Instead of a powder-size brush, opt for an angled brush or fan brush.you can also use a tapered and flat foundation brush.

8 Ways to Use Highlighter on Your Face


1. Brow Bone: Under brow bone to accentuate arch & to open the eyes.
2. Cheek: Top of cheek bone to contour face and bring  out the cheek bones.
3.Cupid's Bow: Add just the tiniest amount of highlighter to the top of the V of your cupid’s bow to create the illusion of fuller lips. Apply it with your finger and use a soft touch. When the light catches that spot your pout will be looking especially kissable.
 4. Above the eyebrow arch: You probably already highlight below the brow. Take it one step further and highlight above the highest point of the arch to give yourself a mini brow lift.
5. Inner Corners: Inner corner of eyes to brighten  & open up your eyes .
6.Tip of your nose /7.nose bridge of nose  On bridge of nose to contour & make your nose appear to be slimmer.
8.Your Collarbone: When wearing a low-cut top, nothing enhances your look like highlighting your collarbones for sexy and glowing look.


I hope the pictures  and even my video provides you with a better idea on how it looks !
Let me know if you have converted any such eye shadow to blush or even some thing else !!

Take care , Lovelies
