Illuminators come last, after foundation and concealer. “Apply by using a synthetic brush (natural bristle hairs
absorb too much of the product), then pat the product into the skin to ensure it’s blended beautifully,” says
Henney. Ensure you check your work in the sunlight so as to avoid blending boo-boos.

TONES
“Light or pearly white illuminators are
best applied to any features you wish
to accentuate,” says Tobi Henney,
celebrity makeup artist. “Think tops
of cheekbones, Cupid’s bow, down
the centre of the nose and the inner
corner of the eye.”
“Bronze illuminators are best for
those with medium to dark, olive skin,”
says Henney. “Use on the tops of
cheekbones for a sun-kissed glow.
Keep your application light and
minimal with these tones.”

HOW TO APPLY
Flesh- or medium-toned illuminators
work for everyone, and are a great
shade to start with if you’re new to
highlighting. They can also be mixed
with foundation or face cream for
an all-over glow.
