They also come in a wide range of colours from pearlescent colours for fairer skins to warm golden colours for olive and dark skin tones. By applying an illuminator you can fake a dewy younger-looking skin or imitate a flattering diffused glow on any shape or type of face. Trust me, you will definitely become addicted to the way it makes your inner eyes or cheekbones pop! Essentially, as you mature, it is best to avoid too much sparkle or shine as it accentuates wrinkles and imperfections.
Illuminators only have a hint of a pearlized pigment, which makes them a key product to your makeup routine. The best thing I love about illuminators is that you actually can apply them with makeup or without, or even the bare minimum. They really do create a wonderful glow.
The best way to apply a powder illuminator is by using a soft blush brush. Swirl the brush to pick up the illuminator, shake off the excess and swirl or buff in a circular motion until you are satisfied. For cream or liquid illuminators, take a small amount and dab along the area you want to emphasise.
Use your fingers, sponge or beauty blender to blend accordingly. I suggest applying an illuminator to the top of the cheekbone, the centre of your nose and middle of your forehead and chin. If you want to make your lips appear bigger apply a small amount to your cupids bow. Or if you want your eyes to look bigger try placing a small amount in the corner of your eye and on the brow bone. This is especially helpful if you have nude lips or minimal eyes.

You can also combine the powder with a liquid illuminator for a very bright shine. Use a golden or bronze illuminator for olive or darker skin tones. Gold, rose gold, and bronze shades of illuminator bring out the radiant warmth in darker skin tones.
Experiment with any of these shades to see what looks most natural on your skin. A frosty or silver illuminator could work, but there is a risk of it bringing out gray tones in the skin. Try a pearly or pink illuminator for fair skin. A pearly or opalescent shade of illuminator is great for fair skin tones because it brings out the skin's natural radiance.
If you apply enough of the illuminator, it will look like a sun beam is bouncing off of your cheek. Try a light pink illuminator if you're looking for a warmer glow.
Part 2. Apply the illuminator after foundation. Typically, illuminator is applied directly after you apply foundation and before blush. This will give you a noticeable glow. If you want a subtle glow, however, you should apply the illuminator below your foundation. Dab the illuminator on your cheeks. Illuminator is most commonly applied to the cheeks. First, smile to get an idea of where your upper cheekbone is. Then, use your fingers to apply a very small dab of illuminator along each cheekbone.
If you're using powder, with a large, fluffy brush. You can also apply some illuminator to the apples of your cheeks. You can always add more later if desired. Use the illuminator down the bridge of your nose. Squirt a little more illuminator out of the bottle or apply more to your brush, depending on if you are using liquid or powder. Remember, less is more with illuminator. Then, swipe some illuminator down the bridge of your nose. This will produce a slimming effect, if desired.
Apply a small dab to your chin, upper lip, and forehead. To brighten up your face even more, apply small dabs to these 3 locations. Apply some illuminator to the bottom of your chin, directly below the middle of your bottom lip. Then, apply another small dab into the crease just above your upper lip. Finish up by applying some illuminator to the middle of your forehead, between your eyebrows. Blend in the illuminator. The final step of the application process is to blend in the illuminator.
You can use your fingers to gently blend it in. Or, you can use a blending brush or sponge. Make sure the illuminator is noticeable, but does not stand out dramatically—unless that is the look you are going for.
Part 3. Go for a dramatic look with rainbow or shimmer illuminator. It is typically advised to go for a natural look when it comes to illuminator. You can, however, go for a dramatic look if you want. A more dramatic application would be great for festivals, parties, or even if you're just in a fun mood.
Use a rainbow or shimmer illuminator to take your look to the next level. Use an illuminating bronzer for a sun-kissed look. To make your face bright and fresh all you need is illuminators or highlighters.
Can you combine those two and what is the difference between these two products you can found out down below. The difference between the illuminator and the highlighter is very small. The small difference is that the highlighter has the role of giving the skin glow and freshness, and the illuminators additionally possess a certain covering power. The illuminator is used after the liquid powder because it is in liquid state, while the highlighter can be applied after powder in stone.
Highlighter is a product that can completely change your current look. If done properly, a glorious look will be obtained that everyone will notice. Highlighter is used to point the face and apply to elevated parts of the face like chin, nose, forehead, tip of the cheeks.
His goal is to reflect the light. When buying a highlighter you first need to determine the tone of your skin. If your tone is yellowish, take pink tones. Highlighter is applied to 3 main parts : cheeks and temples, eyes and above the upper lip.
