DIY Cream Highlighter

I love highlighters, it adds that perfect statement for a night out or add a subtle amount and you all fresh faced the next day. Some days when I am in a rush mascara and highlighter is my go to for the "glowing look". I definitely prefer a cream highlighter but once it is done I wait months cause the decent highlighter I prefer breaks my student budget. I honestly think makeup brands should come up with a student budget highlighter for university girls like me.😜

I looked far and hard in the depths of the Internet and finally found a DIY cream highlighter that works hundreds for me, maybe it would work for you too.

 

You will need:

• A container
• champagne colour eyeshadow ( I love the essence eyeshadow)
• Moisturiser
• Primer (longer lasting)
• Rosewater
• Mixing too

 

Steps to follow:

1. Mash up the eyeshadow into a powder substance (fork or back of a spoon works wonders).
2. Add a tiny amount of moisturiser (start off with like a 20c size, add more if needed).
3. It is optional, but I do recommend adding a little primer to make it last longer.
4. Add a little rose water at a time till you happy with the consistency.
5. Remember, adjusting the consistency is not difficult! if it is too thick add more moisturiser, if it is too thin add some more eyeshadow.
6. Once everything is in your container mix it through to a creamy paste and remember to close your containers lid when storing it away!

There you have it! Your DIY face highlighter is ready to give you the sparkle. Now we ask how to use it? Here are my top three ways:

• Take a small amount and apply it just above the cheekbone I prefer blending it with my finger for a even glow.
• You can add a tiny bit to your brow bone for effect.
• We all want the gorgeous plumped lip effect, so why not add a  bit of highlighter to your cupid bow for that effect?

I would love to hear from you if you have any DIY beauty tips to share.
