I've been experimenting with different ways to get that dewy, runway-ready look, and one trick that consistently elevates my base routine is mixing a bit of liquid highlighter directly into my foundation. This small step adds a natural luminosity that looks fresh and radiant throughout the day. Starting with an illuminating primer sets the perfect canvas—it helps smooth the skin and adds a subtle glow that enhances the highlight even more. After applying your foundation mixed with liquid highlighter, be sure to lightly set your face with powder in the areas where you tend to get oily but avoid over-powdering, as this can dull the glow. Personally, once I tried this method, I felt like I couldn't go back to a flat foundation finish. It gives a soft, lit-from-within effect reminiscent of high-fashion looks seen on runways but is easy enough for everyday wear. If you usually avoid foundation because it feels heavy or cakey, mixing in the liquid highlighter can make the texture lighter and more wearable. Also, don't hesitate to experiment with different shades of highlighters to match your skin tone or desired intensity. Combining these steps enhances not only your makeup's longevity but also gives you that coveted radiant complexion that looks effortless and chic.
