If you don’t have a liquid highlighter in your makeup collection, you don’t need to worry because adding a little bit of your powder highlighter also gives the same result as adding a liquid highlighter. The only downside is that you’ll have to scrape off the powder highlighter with a spatula to mix into the foundation, and it may get a little messy.
Once you’ve scraped off the powder highlighter, you can mix it into your foundation and apply it like you usually would. If you don’t want to use your highlighter for this method, you can also use a shimmery eye shadow as long as it’s the right tone. Powders are generally more pigmented than liquids, so be wary that a little will go a long way; if you add too much, you may end up looking like a disco ball. You should also keep in mind that adding powders to your foundation is to avoid chunky and glittery powders at all costs because they will not mix well with the foundation and will not give an appealing look to the skin.
Adding a powder to your foundation will slightly alter the foundation’s consistency as powders tend to thicken up liquid products. Still, considering the small amount of powder that’ll be added, consistency shouldn’t be a problem.
NOTE: If you’re not willing to scrape off your powders, loose shimmers, if you have them, will give the same result as adding a powder. Take a small amount, mix it into your foundation and blend it away on the skin for a subtle glow!
