Who doesn’t crave a radiant glow? Highlighter is the finishing touch to any look – applied to the high points of the face to enhance luminosity and give the appearance of healthy, hydrated skin.
On dark skin in particular, highlighter with golden and orange tones and flecks will complement the richness of the skin and flatter the complexion.
