Highlight strategic points

Apply it under the highest point of the eyebrow to "enlarge" your eyes. In the lacrimal , between the inner corner of the eye and the wing of the nose, to achieve the effect of a more awake and clean look. On the cheekbones, put it where it finishes off the bone and blends with the temple to give your skin more juiciness.

It looks like magic, but it isn't. Soft-focus pigments reflect light like a mirror, leaving skin radiant. Remember that the areas that you illuminate will be the ones that attract the most attention.
