What is the NYX Highlighter Stick?
The NYX Highlighter Stick is a cream highlighter in a jumbo pencil format. It’s twist-up, portable design makes it incredibly easy to apply and touch up throughout the day. The buildable, creamy formula blends seamlessly into skin without emphasizing texture. You get a smooth, luminous glow exactly where you want it.
The range offers several versatile highlighter shades to complement different skin tones and undertones. Each one contains light-reflecting pearls to create that coveted, lit-from-within radiance. Whether you prefer a subtle sheen or blindingly metallic highlight, this affordable makeup stick delivers.
Why Use a Cream Highlighter?
There are several benefits to using a cream highlighter formula like the NYX Highlighter Stick. First, the emollient texture adheres beautifully to skin without emphasizing dryness or texture. It melts in effortlessly for the most natural-looking radiance.
Cream highlighters are also incredibly easy to blend and build up for your desired level of glow. The creamy consistency allows you to sheer it out for a subtle highlight or layer it on for intense luminosity. Powders can sometimes look chalky or sit atop skin, but creams fuse seamlessly with your complexion.
Lastly, cream highlighters like this one are perfect for a dewy, glowing makeup look. They impart a hydrated, fresh finish instead of the dry, flat effect some powders can create. Simply set with a makeup setting spray for all-day wearability.
How to Use It
Using the NYX Highlighter Stick couldn’t be simpler. Just twist up from the base to dispense the creamy formula. Then apply directly to the high points of your face where light would naturally hit. Dab or sweep the highlighter onto areas like:
Cheekbones
Brow bones
Down the bridge of your nose
Cupid’s bow
Inner corners of the eyes
Don’t forget to blend! Use a damp makeup sponge, brush, or your fingers to diffuse and melt the highlighter seamlessly into your base makeup. For intense radiance, build up and layer the cream highlighter until you achieve your desired glow.
