Here’s how to get this otherworldly glow.
Instagram user @thestudyofmakeup might just have the most brilliant highlighting skills (all #nofilter) on the internet, and Allure interviewed the woman behind the account for her shining secrets. It all boils down to two things: A denser brush and a highlighter with the same undertones as your skin.
“Most people apply their highlight with a large fan brush. I use a very dense wet eyeshadow brush,” @thestudyofmakeup shared. As for the highlight she uses? Makeup Revolution’s $7 Blushing Hearts Highlighter in Goddess of Love — which is “triple baked for maximum pigment pay-off and luminosity”; or, the same brand’s Rainbow Highlighter.
But she’s careful about these recommendations, explaining that they happen to complement her paler skin tone: “Since white doesn’t absorb light, it only reflects it, it is much brighter and reflective than pink or gold highlighters, which are more popular.”
