Add some shimmer with highlighters

Take your mirror to a window and study where the sun hits your face. Under your brow bone? On your cheekbones? Along the bridge of your nose? Here’s where you brush or blend your highlighter, with a soft and subtle touch. The idea is to add shimmer (not sparkle) to look even more like you, you see. Your cheekbones even more pronounced, your nose even more equine. Just add light.
