The difference between highlighter and illuminator. The main difference: “Highlighter is for a concentrated area of light, while an illuminator casts light more generally,” explains Anthony.
Is illuminator better than highlighter?
Turns out, there’s only one main difference between highlighter and illuminator: the finished effect. Think of illuminator as more of a light-diffusing product than a light-reflecting one: illuminating product is generally much softer and gives more of a subtle glow than what you’d get from a highlighter.
What do you use illuminator makeup for?
Illuminators can be used to highlight areas such as cheekbones, cleavages, and brow-bones as they play off light. When light hits a brighter surface it makes it more pronounced, so stick or pen illuminators are best for this precise placement. An illuminator is not a foundation.
Where do I put illuminator on my face?
To apply a liquid illuminator, simply transfer a small amount of the liquid to your fingertip and crack a smile, to find your cheek-line. Now gently dab the illuminator along the top of your cheekbone. To freshen up your glow you can add a little extra on the top of the apples of your cheeks, just under your eyes.
When should I use illuminator?
Typically, illuminator is applied directly after you apply foundation and before blush. This will give you a noticeable glow. If you want a subtle glow, however, you should apply the illuminator below your foundation.
