We know that the world of beauty is constantly evolving, and we love it. And in this never-ending stream of innovations, the major make-up trends that emerge never cease to surprise and inspire. Among the latest trends to captivate make-up enthusiasts, the eyelighter stands out as a real must-have for enhancing the eyes.

This magical trick borrows its codes from the highlighter to illuminate and enhance the eyes in a subtle, natural way. What are the secrets behind this growing trend? And above all, how do you apply it for the perfect make-up look? As always, ROSEBLOG takes a closer look.

What exactly is an eyelighter? 

Like its homophone, the highlighter, the eyelighter is a make-up product specially designed to bring a touch of light and dimension to the eye area. It generally takes the form of a pencil or liquid eyeshadow, with light-reflecting pigments. Its shade is often close to skin color, allowing it to blend harmoniously and discreetly illuminate shadowy areas around the eyes.

How to apply eyelighter? 

1. Prepare your skin: this is the most important step before applying make-up. Before applying eyelighter, make sure your skin is clean and moisturized. Use a gentle make-up remover to remove make-up residue and apply a face serum, an eye serum (for the delicate skin around the eyes) and a moisturizing cream suited to your skin type to deeply nourish the skin. 

2. Apply eyelighter: You can use eyelighter with iridescent pigments in different ways, depending on your preferences and desired result.

   a) Inner corner of the eye: Gently apply eyelighter to the inner corner of the eye, where shadows often form. This technique opens up the eyes and adds luminosity.

   b) Under the brow bone: Apply eyelighter under the brow bone to lift brows and brighten eyes. Blend gently for a natural finish.

   c) Above cheekbones: For a subtle, luminous effect, place a little eyelighter above your cheekbones, lightly touching them with your fingertips. This creates a relief effect and gives your face a natural glow.

3. Blending: For a harmonious, natural result, blend the eyelighter with your finger or a blending brush. Be sure to blend the product into the skin to avoid lines of demarcation.

4. Completing your make-up: eyelighter integrates perfectly into your usual make-up routine. You can apply it before or after your foundation, depending on your preference. Follow with your eye make-up, mascara and other products.
