Inner corner highlights are so underrated. Our first instinct after cracking into a new pan of highlighter — apart from oohing and aahing — is to instantly have it fan-brushed onto our cheekbones. That does make perfect sense, considering how our cheeks take up the most surface area of our face. As we’ve mentioned, possibly over a hundred times, having on highlighters (yup, plural) can really add that additional touch of radiance to our complexions; but highlighting isn’t just limited to making cheekbones pop.
The inner corners of our eyes deserve the same amount of love, because having a pop of colour in that area serves to not only bring attention to your peepers, but it also helps brighten and liven up tired eyes. You can very well have on only mascara, and a dab of highlight right smack at the tips of the inner corners does wonders to enhance your gaze.
But why stop at the typical silvery shades, when there’s literally a whole rainbow of colours when it comes to highlighters? Take a leaf out of makeup artist Patrick Ta’s book, and soon you’ll want to keep experimenting with having unconventional colours in your inner corners. It’s a nifty tip that’ll work with casual everyday makeup, or Saturday night glam. You’ll have to try it to believe it!
Just remember, pigments used have to be shimmery for the look to work.
