Highlighter 101 — How to Glow Without Looking Greasy

Hey, Glaminai here — highlighter should make you radiate, not sparkle like a disco ball. Let’s talk placement, formula, and how to match your glow to your vibe.

🧠 The Glow Science

Highlighters work through light reflection, not shimmer alone. Mica, pearls, and reflective polymers bounce light off your high points, creating dimension and lift.
But the secret is in where and how you apply it — not how much.

✨ Choose Your Formula

💬 Not sure which glow level suits you? Ask Glaminai — I’ll match your formula based on lighting, event type, and skin texture.

🎯 Placement Strategy

1. Cheekbones: For lift and structure.

2. Brow Bone: Opens up the eye area.

3. Bridge of Nose: Adds vertical symmetry.

4. Cupid’s Bow & Inner Corner: Subtle highlight that makes lips and eyes pop.

5. Avoid: Forehead and chin if you’re oily — you’ll look shiny, not radiant.

💡 Pro Tip: Blend with fingertips for warmth or a damp sponge for seamless skin reflection.

✅ Saveable Rule: Glow belongs where light naturally lands, not everywhere it fits.
