Article: Illuminator is great for making skin appear brighter, but it can be unflattering on certain skin types. If you have large pores, scarring, or fine lines, the look of them can be exacerbated by illuminator. Hyperpigmentation can also be made more apparent by illuminator unless you know how to cover it with concealer. Although these skin types aren't ideal for illuminator, anyone can make illuminator work for them with the right makeup application.  You can go to a makeup artist to teach you the best makeup application for your skin type. You can also search YouTube videos for makeup tutorials. Liquid illuminator is ideal for a day-to-day look because it gives a softer glow. It is also a good choice because it can be mixed in with your foundation for a mild, yet summery glow.Plus, it is better for dry skin. Powder illuminator is usually long-lasting and more dramatic. A powder is ideal for evening and wedding looks. You can also combine the powder with a liquid illuminator for a very bright shine. Gold, rose gold, and bronze shades of illuminator bring out the radiant warmth in darker skin tones. Experiment with any of these shades to see what looks most natural on your skin. A frosty or silver illuminator could work, but there is a risk of it bringing out gray tones in the skin. A pearly or opalescent shade of illuminator is great for fair skin tones because it brings out the skin's natural radiance. If you apply enough of the illuminator, it will look like a sun beam is bouncing off of your cheek. Try a light pink illuminator if you're looking for a warmer glow.
