PAC Highlighter Brush

How to Use Different Types of Highlighter Brushes for a Radiant Glow

Highlighter is the secret to achieving that perfect glow, and the right brush can make all the difference in your application. Here’s a guide to using different types of PAC highlighter brushes to achieve your desired glow.

Fan Brush

A highlighter fan brush is a classic choice for applying highlighter, especially if you prefer a soft, diffused glow. The thin, fanned-out bristles help apply a light layer of product, making it easy to build up to your desired intensity. Use a fan brush to gently sweep highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, and on your cupid’s bow for a subtle, radiant finish. The fan shape also helps avoid applying too much product in one spot.

Tapered Highlight Brush

For more precision, a tapered highlighter brush is your go-to. This brush features a pointed tip with densely packed bristles, making it ideal for more targeted applications. Use the tapered tip to apply highlighter to smaller areas like the inner corners of your eyes, brow bones, and the tip of your nose. The pointed design allows you to control the intensity and placement of your highlight with greater accuracy.

Fluffy Blending Brush

A fluffy blending brush, often used for eyeshadow, doubles as an excellent highlighter makeup brush for a more natural, diffused glow. The soft, rounded bristles allow for a seamless blend, making it perfect for applying highlighter to larger areas like the forehead. Use a swirling motion to blend the product into your skin for a soft-focus finish that’s perfect for everyday wear.
