The shiny beauty look is absolutely one of the most popular trends of the moment. It is very easy to achieve by using highlighters, which can create luminous shades on our skin.
First of all, the skin needs to be treated by creating an even base, emphasising the luminous effect with moisturising creams and primers. Then, after these steps, suitable products (such as those we will suggest in a moment) must be applied to the face, from the cheeks up to the nose and cupid’s bow, and additionally to the body.
Which products are best suited for highlighting the face and body?
Illuminating cosmetics (powder, cream or stick) create a kind of luminous patina on our skin. They can be used alone or with other products such as foundation, concealers and blush. These products have become an integral part of our beauty routine, in fact it has become almost difficult to do without them.
Body illuminants, on the other hand, are different and are mainly used to highlight certain spots such as collarbones, shoulders and arms. It is very important to choose a suitable illuminant for your skin type, but it almost goes without saying that many of those we usually use for the face can also be adapted to certain areas of our body.
