Better Together: Powder and Cream Highlighter

Our “Better Together” series highlights surprising ways two products become — you guessed it — even better when you use them together.

Any beauty guru knows that it’s one thing to master your highlight but it’s another thing to get it to last all day. This is where a double duty highlighting regimen comes in handy — with a cream highlight base underneath your typical high point powder.

Start by defining your points of highlight with the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion — we recommend tapping this onto your face with a stippling brush or your fourth finger. You want to blend it into your cheekbones, down your nose and on your cupid’s bow — all areas where light typically hits your face.

To really lock in that shimmering highlight, go in and set it with an illuminating powder. We love the new NYX Professional Makeup Love You So Mochi Highlighter in Arcade Glam for this because it gives you that major glow up with a slight pop of color. Your highlight will just about blind anyone who lays eyes on your glowing complexion — it’s sure to seriously last for light years to come.
