Highlight the jawline with the highlighter It’s the most shared trick on TikTok right now, with profiles already added -pun intended- like Bella Hadid. According to Klarna’s latest report (it is a beauty and personal care product report that examines trends among buyers of these products in Spain, Italy and France, and how consumer values and expectations are evolving), Highlighters are the most popular makeup product among millennials in Spain (72%) and France (63%). Also keeping in mind that 3 out of 5 members of Generation Z are inspired by trends seen on social networks such as TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, you need to sign up for this new tendency.
Gisela Bosque, Sephora’s national makeup artist, has the keys to making the most of this makeup trend.
“The highlighter is applied along the edge of the jawbone and then blended lightly,” explains the Sephora pro. “But be careful because this technique emphasizes what you already have, so in the case of round faces you need to create the light effect on the cheekbone and around the external orbital bone of the eye, along the central line of the nose and into the cupid’s bow ”, warns Gisela Bosque.
The expert points out that “it is better to complement it with a natural look” no make-up: fresh skin, softly defined eyebrows, rosy cheeks and rosy lips,” advises the Sephora professional.
“It’s important not to use products that are too shiny or too pearly: skin should look moist and fresh, as if it just came out of a spa,” says Bosque.
