A great way to give your complexion a youthful glow is by highlighting. It helps lift your face and accentuate your best features.

You can use mineral pigments, creams or liquids with a slight shimmer to achieve this, or even a concealer that is a couple of shades lighter than your foundation.

Once you are happy with your base you can begin to highlight.

Where to highlight?

1. Under the brow bone to help lift the eye and also the inner corners of your eyes as this helps to give a more youthful, wide awake look.

2. Tops of your cheekbones but not too close to the eyes as this can be ageing and highlight any fine lines.

3. Your cupids bow to make your lips appear fuller.

4. Down the bridge of your nose if you feel you would like it to appear more straight or smaller.

The key when applying a highlighter is not to use too much and blend in well.
