With all the focus on luminous skin, these days, our Glow Time Ethereals Blush and Highlighter Sticks are making a big splash. But many people want to know how to choose their best shades. The beauty of this new collection is its versatility and ease of application. Let’s look at some pointers for picking your perfect shades of blush and highlighter and how to apply blush, bronzer, and highlighter.
Blush and Highlighter Looks
Regardless of your skin’s depth or undertone, there are many options from which to choose for your blush and highlighter, but you may want to customize your look based on what effect you’d like to achieve. When looking at our new blush colors you’ll notice distinct graduation of depth and warmth so varying skin tones can use colors that are lighter or deeper. Some people will use the deeper colors as bronzers while others may wear them as blush. The highlighters are your wild card — they can mix with anything. The way you use them will depend on whether you want your look to be soft and muted or intense and saturated. To get a better understanding of how to use our Glow Time Ethereals Blush and Highlighter Sticks together, let’s look at each color of blush.
Blush and Highlighter Color Combinations
Glorious Glow Time™ Blush Stick – Chestnut red with gold shimmer. If you have a lighter skin tone, this color will look good as a bronzer softly blended around the outer parameters of your face. If you have deeper skin, you can wear it on the outer cheeks and apples. On a very pale complexion it may look very saturated so sheer it out with the Blending Contouring Brush. It combines well with Eclipse Glow Time Highlighter Stick.
Aura Glow Time™ Blush Stick – Guava with gold shimmer. This shade will also work as a bronzer on lighter skin tones, but it will give a more saturated undertone. It’s beautiful on the apples of the cheeks on medium to deep skin tones and it combines well with Eclipse Glow Time Highlighter Stick.
Enchanted Glow Time™ Blush Stick – Soft pink-brown with gold shimmer. If you have a medium skin tone, you’ll find this color applies and blends effortlessly, and gives a rich, golden warm glow. This shade also works beautifully as a bronzer for very fair skin tones like Ivory or Bisque and it can be used as a subtle highlighter on the deepest skin tones. It combines well with Solstice Glow Time Highlighter Stick.
How to Apply Blush, Bronzer and Highlighter
Another important dynamic to consider is how much product you’d like to apply blush, bronzer and highlighter. Before picking colors, you may want to consider your application tool:
- The Blending Contouring Brush will give a soft, well dispersed application that’s excellent for sheering out colors that may be more saturated with less blending. It’s a great tool for applying deeper tones as bronzers.
- The Dome Brush will give soft but focused areas of color with medium saturation. It’s a favorite for popping a blush in the apple of the cheek and blending in circles to disperse it.
- The Foundation Brush will give the most precision for specific placement. An excellent tool to use for applying the Highlighter Sticks to the tops of the cheeks.
- Then, of course, you can always apply the sticks directly on your cheeks and blend with your fingers.
