How to use Highlighter Brush? Tips and Common Mistakes

A highlighter brush is used to highlight different areas of your face. They are similar to standard makeup brushes in that they both have a flat top and a pointed end. However, highlighters are usually small and round, while standard makeup brushes come in many different sizes and shapes. Highlighters are generally used on the cheekbones, nose bridge, chin, and forehead area.

What is Highlighter Brush

It is used to apply highlighter powder or liquid. It can also be used to apply blush, bronzer, and eyeshadow. The bristles on the brush are soft and they don't scratch the skin so they can be used on sensitive areas of your face. 

To use this type of makeup brush, you need to first get some highlighter cream or powder in your hand and then dip the tip of the brush into it. You should then take some product and spread it evenly on your face with light strokes until you have reached your desired look. You should avoid applying too much at once as this may result in an uneven application that will not look good when applied to other parts of your face like cheeks or forehead for example.

Common mistakes with brush

Don't apply a highlighter to the entire face. Highlighting is meant to be applied in small amounts, so start with a little and blend it out into the skin. If you're using a powder highlighter, use a small brush instead of your fingers. To get the best results with powdered highlighters, use the Star Dust Diamond Highlight Powderfrom Perfect Diary for an ultralight application and promising results even with your fingers.

Don't apply too much product. When using liquid or cream products like primers and concealer, always make sure to tap off any excess before applying them to your face. This will ensure that you don't overdo it!

Don't apply a highlighter near the eyes or lips (unless you want an intense highlight). Applying a highlighter too close to the eye area can irritate if it gets into the eyes; likewise, applying it close enough for lip application—you could end up looking like Picasso's Guernica without even intending to!

A simple tutorial on using a makeup highlighter brush

First, grab a makeup brush of your choice. This tutorial will use a brush for highlighters that have been cut down to be more compact and mobile.

Next, apply the product to the brush using your fingers or a makeup sponge. You can choose to apply it directly on top of your foundation or concealer for an all-over glow, but we recommend only applying it to areas where you want the focus (such as underneath the eyes and cheekbones). Applying too much product or putting too much pressure can cause streaky results—so make sure to work slowly!
