There's a reason why some of us look better in dim light: That warm flicker of fire softly illuminates your face to make your skin look like it was back lit by the moon itself. But there's no reason to drop major cash on fancy lighting to get that effect. Makeup artist Eric Devezin teaches us five easy steps for getting that perfect natural glow! Step 1 First, choose a highlighter with gold undertones. Step 2 Next, accentuate cheeks by stippling the highlighter on top of the cheekbones. Step 3 Next, apply the highlighter to the outer edges of your face. Step 4 Next, add a touch of luminosity to the center of the chin, which is the final high plane of the face. Step 5 Finally, to add a bit of color to the cheeks, push a touch of cream blush into the apples on top of the highlighter. Tip: Better to apply blush after the highlighter instead of before.
