Face accentuation – You need a fluffy makeup brush to apply shimmer powder or highlighter. Gently sweep the brush loaded with the powder over forehead, cheeks, chin, nose. At times shimmery powders may look a bit harsh on the face, so in that case you can use a shimmery blush, or shimmery eye shadow to accentuate the face.

Body highlighting – Before you wear the outfit, you must apply the highlighter. Otherwise the shimmery powder may get sprinkled over the costly outfit and spoil the dress. You may apply the powder in the middle of the cleavage, arms, legs, collar bones. Do not apply any other sticky cream or moisturizer as that might mess up the look.

Shimmer for the tresses – In order to brighten up the hair-do, you can apply highlighter. Put a bit of it on a brush and tap it only once or maximum twice over your head. Remember, too much of shimmer can spoil the look instantly. Make sure your hair is dry before applying the shimmer. If you have already used any styling cream or gel, then do not go for shimmer powder.
