Choosing Your Napoleon Perdis Highlighter 

Selecting the right Napoleon Perdis highlighter is crucial for achieving that perfect glow. Consider your skin tone and the look you're aiming for when making your choice. 

For fair to light skin tones, opt for champagne or pearl shades. These hues complement your complexion without appearing too stark. Medium skin tones shine with golden or rose gold highlighters, adding warmth and radiance. 

Deeper skin tones can rock bronze or copper highlighters for a stunning, sun-kissed effect. Remember, the key is to enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. 

Highlighting Techniques for Beginners 

Mastering basic highlighting techniques is essential for creating a natural, radiant look. Start with these simple steps to enhance your features effortlessly. 

Prep your skin with moisturizer and primer for a smooth canvas. 

Apply your foundation and concealer as usual. 

Using your Napoleon Perdis Glow Patrol or Highlight Patrol, focus on the high points of your face: 

  • Cheekbones 
  • Bridge of the nose 
  • Center of the forehead 
  • Cupid's bow 
  • For powder highlighters, use a soft fluffy brush for a subtle effect. 

Remember, less is more when you're starting out. Build up the intensity gradually to avoid an overly shimmery look. 

Next-Level Highlighting: Pro Hacks for a Sculpted Glow 

Ready to elevate your highlight from soft shimmer to strategic spotlight? These expert-approved hacks deliver dimension, contrast and that coveted lit-from-within radiance. 

Try the Highlight “Sandwich” Technique Layer like a pro: start with your foundation, sweep on a powder highlighter, set with a light veil of setting spray and then add a touch more highlight on top. The result? Locked-in luminosity with long-wear impact and zero fade. 

Custom Colour Blending Get creative by mixing a pearlescent highlighter with a hint of blush for a modern, monochromatic glow. Want all-over dew? Blend your highlighter with setting spray or primer and press it into high points of the face for a radiant veil that melts into the skin.
