Except of course you like the Instagram Extreme Glow. However, the face should not glitter all over. Therefore, start sparingly.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>No more than two to three spots in the face should be emphasized by highlighting. Otherwise, it quickly looks overloaded.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>It is also important to blend the edges softly. Because hard contours make lighting scenarios look very artificial.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>The classic highlighter should be about a shade brighter than the skin color. Often, however, the highlighter is combined with a bronze effect, of course then it is darker.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Does your Highlighter use it?
