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.”

What's your favourite highlight? Subtle, glow or flare? 💫💫💫💫 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS BLOW UP 😭❤️
