Highlighter Brush

A highlighter brush is a makeup tool designed for the precise application of highlighter to the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow. Its shape—often fan-shaped, tapered, or small and fluffy—allows for controlled placement and blending of shimmer or illuminating powders and creams.

Types of Highlighter Brushes

  • Fan Brush: Ideal for sweeping a light layer of highlighter for a subtle glow.
  • Tapered Brush: Offers precision for targeted highlighting.
  • Small Fluffy Brush: Good for blending and building intensity.

How to Use

  1. Dip the brush into highlighter powder or cream.
  2. Tap off excess product.
  3. Apply to the high points of the face using gentle sweeping or tapping motions.
  4. Blend for a seamless, radiant finish.

Cleaning and Care

  • Clean regularly with gentle soap or brush cleanser.
  • Allow to air dry completely before next use.
