18 diy Makeup highlighter ideas

DIY highlighter from eye shadow: 1) Pour a small amount of glimmer (champagne, pearl, and nude shades work well) eye shadow into a small container. 2) Squeeze 2-3 pumps of body lotion or 4-5 pumps of face lotion (often better for sensitive skin) into the shadow. 3) Use a stirrer and mix together until smooth (if you need an extra long-lasting formula, add a tiny bit of your favorite primer). Highlighter is one of our beauty secret weapons. Add a touch of light-reflecting shimmer in the right places and you have an insta-contoured, glam look. One of our best tricks? Taking our (too-often) broken shimmery eye shadows (hello, stila kitten!) and mixing them with moisturizer to create an easy DIY highlighter.
