Why You Should Mix Highlighter With Foundation
September 24, 2020
STEP 2: Mix It Up
Mix equal parts foundation (our current favorite is the YSL Beauty All Hours Longwear Foundation) and highlighter on the back of your hand with a sponge. The total combination should be about the size of a dime. If needed, add more to make sure you have the right amount of coverage. Just be careful that you don’t end up with thick, cakey makeup.
STEP 3: Blend, Blend, Blend
Dot the mixture on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, and smooth it all over the face (we recommend working from the center and blending outward) with a blending sponge or foundation brush, until your makeup is evenly distributed around your face and neck. Make sure to blend well so that there are no streaks or splotches. Your makeup should look like a second skin. For a next-level glow, feel free to add more strategically placed highlighter on the highpoints of your face when you’re finished with the rest of your makeup.
