Benefits of Highlighters

A highlighter is a multi-tasking makeup product that can elevate your entire look and bring out your natural beauty. Here's a breakdown of its key benefits:

• Sculpted Look: It highlights your cheekbones, brow bones, and cupid's bow to create a defined, sculpted appearance.
• Radiant Glow: A touch of highlighter adds a luminous finish, making you look refreshed and youthful.
• Brightens Skin: A highlighter strategically applied to dull areas like under-eyes or the forehead can brighten your overall complexion.
• Complements Other Makeup: A highlighter enhances blush and bronzer, creating a seamless, polished look.
• Natural or Dramatic Finish: You can choose a highlighter formula and application technique to achieve a dewy, naturally radiant look or a more dramatic one for special occasions.

Choosing the Right Highlighter

Finding the perfect highlighter involves considering two key factors—your skin tone and your skin type. Here's a breakdown to help you achieve a flawless, natural highlight:

By Skin Tone:

• Fair Skin: Look for highlighters with cool undertones, like champagne, pearl, or even a touch of silver. These shades will add a subtle, luminous glow without appearing too stark. Forest Essentials’ Highlighting Glow Mukta is a great pick for these skin tones.
• Medium Skin: Opt for highlighters with warm undertones, such as peach, rose gold, or a soft golden shade. These shades will complement your natural skin tone and add a healthy-looking radiance.Forest Essentials’ Highlighting Glow Sona and Manikya are good picks for these skin tones.
• Deep Skin: Golden bronze or copper shades will beautifully enhance your deeper skin tone. These warm shades will add a touch of dimension and highlight your features without looking ashy. Forest Essentials’ Highlighting Glow Kansa is a great pick for these skin tones.
