Summer 2024 Guide to Wearing Highlighter Makeup

Summer 2024 is all about glowing skin and radiant looks. Highlighter makeup is your best friend for achieving that perfect sun-kissed glow. At Patrick Ta, we offer a range of highlighters designed to enhance your natural beauty. Here’s your ultimate guide to wearing highlighter makeup this summer.

What Highlighter to Use

Choosing the right highlighter is essential for achieving a natural and radiant look. Highlighters come in various formulations, including powders, creams, and liquids. Each type offers a different finish and application technique, so it’s important to select one that suits your skin type and desired look.

Powder Highlighters: These are ideal for oily skin as they provide a matte finish with a touch of shimmer. They are easy to blend and buildable, making them perfect for both subtle and bold looks.

Cream Highlighters: Cream formulations are great for dry or combination skin. They offer a dewy finish that looks natural and radiant. Cream highlighters are perfect for creating a fresh, hydrated look.

Liquid Highlighters: These are versatile and can be mixed with your foundation or moisturizer for an all-over glow. Liquid highlighters are perfect for a seamless, natural finish.

For those with olive skin tones, our makeup for olive skin tones collection offers highlighters that complement your unique undertones, ensuring a perfect match and a radiant glow.

How to Properly Apply Highlighter

Applying highlighter correctly is key to achieving a luminous look. Follow these steps to ensure your highlighter enhances your features beautifully:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual. For an extra glow, use a cream bronzer to add warmth and dimension to your face before applying highlighter.
2. Apply to High Points: Highlighter should be applied to the high points of your face where light naturally hits. These areas include the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the brow bone, and the cupid’s bow.
3. Use the Right Tools: Depending on the type of highlighter you’re using, choose the appropriate tool. For powder highlighters, use a fan brush or a fluffy brush for a soft, diffused look. For cream or liquid highlighters, use your fingers or a damp makeup sponge to blend the product seamlessly into your skin.
4. Blend Well: Blending is crucial to avoid harsh lines and achieve a natural glow. Make sure to blend the edges of your highlighter into your foundation or bronzer to create a smooth transition.
5. Layer for Intensity: If you want a more intense glow, layer your highlighter. Start with a subtle application and build up the product until you reach your desired level of radiance.
