What does a powder highlighter actually do?

Halo Glow Silky Powder Highlighter is an ultra-silky powder highlighter that gives skin a luminous, glassy glow. You can sweep a highlighter across the high points of the face like cheekbones, brow bones, cupid’s bow or anywhere else you'd like a little extra glow.

Is highlighting powder different than setting powder?

Yes, a powder highlighter delivers a glow to the high points of the face or anywhere you want to add luminosity. A setting powder is used to set makeup for long-lasting wear.

Why does my highlighter look patchy or cakey sometimes?

It’s important to prep your skin before applying makeup, including highlighter, to ensure a flawless application. First, start with clean, exfoliated and moisturized skin, and then apply your face primer to help extend the wear of your makeup. Applying your highlighter with a brush like High Points Highlighter Brush can help evenly apply the powder.

What is the difference between a cream highlighter and a powder highlighter and what are the benefits?

Cream highlighters have an emollient texture that melts into skin, making them ideal for more dry or mature skin. Powder highlighters are finely milled and you can apply to set your makeup for more intense reflection and longer wear. Choose a cream highlighter for skin-like radiance and flexibility (mixing with base, minimal texture emphasis). Choose a powder for buildable impact, precision, and durability.

How to choose the right shade highlighter for my skin tone?

In order to select the right highlighter shade, it’s important to look at your undertone & skin tone. For example, cool undertones suit pearl, champagne or soft pink while warm undertones look best with champagne, gold or peach-gold. Neutral undertones can wear true champagne or rose-gold. When looking at your skin tone, you choose a depth that’s 1–2 shades lighter than your skin (fair = light champagne; medium/tan = warm champagne/peach-gold; deep = copper/bronze) to avoid a grey or chalky cast.
