10 places you SHOULD apply highlighter but you're not

Many of you guys already know about my obsession with highlighters, especially pigmented ones. Some endup skipping the highlighting step in their makeup routine, or they just don't apply it correctly in the right places, not wanting to look to shimmery or oily.
I personally have a regular to oily type of skin, and applying highlighter doesn't necessarily mean my makeup's gonna end up a glittery oily mess.
It all has to do with the right quantity, and the right product.
However, there are some body areas, that, once highlighted, give you a natural glow while accentuating them.
And TBH, these are the areas that ARE NOT TO MISS while applying highlighter:

1- Collar Bones
Lightly lift your shoulders forward until you can see your bone structure. Start dabbing and applying using a horizontal sweeping motion, on the high points of you bone structure so that the result doesn't look sweaty.
 Remember to start with a small quantity, since once there, if you applied too much, it's hard to remove them.

2- Shoulders
Shoulders are attractive, applying a bit of highlighter on them will make them even look more seductive. Apply in circular motion where light naturally hits.

3- Shoulder Blades
When you're wearing a backless top or dress. Since not much is focused on in the back fashion-wise, apply the shimmery product naturally following along the bone structure. The quantity is up to you, the more you add, the more dramatic effect you'll be creating.

4- Under the Brow Bone
Apply just under it, above the crease, to give illusion of larger eyes.

5- Inner Corner Of Your Eyes
Apply a dot of highlighter in the inner corner to brighten up your eyes and make them look more awake. The product's reflective properties make your whole eye look lighter.

6- Cupid's Bow
Give the illusion of bigger lips by applying highlighter on your cupid's bow , while giving your lipstick a clean look.

7- Center Of Your Eyelids
While applying eyeshadow, adding light shimmery colors will make your eyes look bigger.

8- Moisturizer Mix
Mix your moisturizer with a liquid highlighter, for a naturally glowing face while prepping it before makeup application, when not wanting to actually apply highlighter, for a more natural 'non-makeup' look.

9- Bridge Of Your Nose
Blend bronzer on the sides of your nose, then gently apply highlighter on the bridge aka the middle of your nose to make it appear slimmer and longer.

10- Apple Of The Cheek
Not only on the cheekbones. When you want to glow more and want to have a more contoured look, dab a small quantity in the center of the apple of your cheek, over the blush.

Hope these tips helped you out!
