HIGHLIGHTING DOS

✱ Is your cream highlighter a bit too sparkly? “Use it under your base instead of on top,” says Collection make-up artist Francesa Neill.

✱ Want versatility? Buy a liquid illuminator. “It can be used neat or added to foundation, face cream and body lotion for a customised glow, plus it works just as well as a highlighter,” says make-up artist Alexis Day.

✱ For a luminising powder that’ll melt into skin without a harsh metallic finish, look for the words ‘moisturising,’ ‘talc-free,’ ‘mineral’ or ‘silk proteins.’

✱ For a glow that doesn’t look oily: “Apply a base with a few drops of illuminator mixed in. Then use blotting sheets on the broad areas of your face (forehead, lower cheeks, sides of nose) and a light dusting of loose powder on the T-zone,” says make-up artist Kenneth Soh.
