One of my favourite brands of make-up is BECCA. Not everyone has heard of them, but their shimmering skin perfector is a favourite amongst make-up artists. They have three shades, Pearl being the most popular.
When applying highlighter it's important to make sure its blended well so that it doesn't look like its sitting on top of the skin. You can create a youthful glow by applying it on the cheekbone and then up around the brow bone. Another useful tip is to dab a little above your lips on your cupids bow and a little down the bridge of the nose, make sure not to put it on the end of your nose though. I usually apply with my fingers and then buff it in with a brush afterwards. Always apply after your foundation and before your concealer. If using cream highlighters then you should use a cream blusher. BECCA has just launched a new waterproof beach tint called fig which is a really pretty subtle pink. If you prefer powder blushers then use a powder highlighter, bobbi brown shimmer bricks are also great. You can get different shades of highlighters, if you just want a healthy natural looking glow then stay away from ones with too much pink/lilac in them as they can be very obvious on the skin. Mixing a small amount of highlighter in with your foundation can also boost some life into your skin and using some on your collar bones and legs is another great way to get your skin looking well moisturised.
