Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I have been entertaining as my best friend from New Zealand has been in town, and have been getting ready for my graduation! The week seemed to pass by and I can’t believe it’s Beauty Tip of the Week time!
This beauty tip is extremely easy to do. It’s done a lot in makeup application to ‘lift’ your eyes, and doubles up as an ‘anti-aging’ makeup trick for those who want a bit of a brighter appearance around the eyes. All you have to do is apply highlighter shadow on your brow bone (right under your eyebrow).
Benefit has a product just for that called High Brow, but really, any shimmer eyeshadow can do the trick. Just apply it straight across underneath your brows, and make sure to blend – you don’t want a very unnatural line of shimmer underneath each eyebrow!

Thanks so much, Dip!
Same with the shadow for me. Although I only tried it a few times because my eye shape is a little weird so highlighting the brow bone makes everything look kinda wonky. XD I love the idea of High Brow but it’s way too expensive!
Congrats on graduating!
I usually just stick a bit of Benefit High Beam on my brows, or Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. High Beam is my absolute favourite highlighter though

Thank you, Cheryl! Oh I’ve heard amazing stuff about High Beam too, though I heard it clogs your pores slightly
Have you ever experienced that?
I’ve been using it for years, and personally I’ve never experienced that. I only use a tiny amount on my cheekbones, browbone, and sometimes on the inner eye and cupids bow though. A little goes a long way!
It’s my all time favourite highlighter, I feel a bit naked if I ever forget to put it on! It really brightens your complexion. I’d like to try Moon Beam sometime, but I don’t it’d look as good with my skin colour.

I always apply an eyeshadow shade on my browbone. These days I only stick to the white shade in the Sleek Curious palette. It is the most beautiful shimmery white shade I have ever seen and is perfect for highlighting.

Thanks, Gio! Oh, I think I have seen that highlighter before in your LOTD posts!
Congrats on graduating!
I highlight my brow bone every time I have makeup on, even when I don’t have any eyeshadow on my lid. Adding this tiny little step into your makeup routine really does make a difference.

Thanks Sze Ling. Where have you been, woman?! Haha.
And yes, it does make a subtle, pretty difference.
its really funny when people do this when they havent plucked their eyebrows though because then the stray hairs stand out haha

HAHA so true. I’m glad I’m not the only once who notices that.
Actually you don’t have to use Benefit high brow highlighter. You can use any white colour or beige eyeshadow or use white liner and blend.
Yup, I never said you had to use the one by Benefit! Just thought I’d mentioned it as it’s a product created just for that purpose; though any shadow will do just fine.
I always adore hilary duff’s makeup. I really want to try that benefit highlighter, I feel like a cream would look better as a highlight than a shadow will.
Have you tried that benefit highlighter? People always have great things to say about Benefit products!!!!
I like this trick, I usually apply eyeshadow or Kevyn aucoin celestial powder! It´s great!
