How to Use Liquid Highlighter to Look Dewy, Not Sweaty

Dewy skin is in for spring. To give your complexion that glass-skin finish, reach for a liquid highlighter. As with most things, it's all about placement to achieve an optimal radiant (read: not sweaty) finish. "Use the ring finger to apply any shimmery or illuminating product, making sure that you stop at the iris of your eyes," says L'Oreal Paris and celebrity makeup artist Sir John. "Anything that wraps around the front of your cheek appears greasy and unkempt in video or photos." Ready to get your glow on? Look to these liquid primers, oils, and highlighters.
