Glowing isn't just for the summer! Stay highlighted all year long with the best highlighters and illuminators suited for South Asian skin tones.
Highlighting and illuminating have become all the rage in the beauty world. Everybody is trying to achieve that golden, dewy, fresh-faced and glowing look that only highlighting can achieve. So how do we highlight? Using a fan brush or a tapered brush, you sweep the highlighter or illuminator over your cheekbones, brow bone, nose, Cupid's bow and anywhere else the light hits your face.
Now that you know how to highlight, here comes the fun part: choosing the right colour. It's hard to find that perfect glow when you have a darker skin tone because some highlighters and illuminators can make you look ashy or pale or wash you out.
Here are six highlighters and illuminators that will complement South Asian skin tones and bring out your natural glow.
