Lancôme Click & Glow liquid highlighter review

Whether you're in a hurry or on the go, Lancôme's Click & Glow Highlighter will help you create a flawless highlighter that will accentuate your complexion and make it glow with youth in no time. The unique creamy-liquid texture leaves skin as soft as a powder, delivering the subtle shimmer and buildable coverage you expect from a liquid highlighter. Packed in a pen with a fluffy tip applicator, the luxurious skin highlighter helps you achieve easy yet precise application from cheekbone to cupid's bow. What else? The radiant highlighter is available in four shades: Lumières D'Or (warm gold), Lumières D'Or Rose (warm rose gold), Lumières Rosées (pearl pink) and Lumières De Bronze (rich amber bronze) for all skin tones. It can be applied directly to the skin or mixed with foundation, concealer or moisturizer for a more radiant glow.

Why we love it: In addition to its great texture and ability to create a natural glow, I love this luminous highlighter because it's skincare inspired! Formulated with natural humectant glycerin and antioxidant vitamin E, the lightweight formula glides on smoothly to create a silky, thin veil of luminescent pearls for a radiant complexion. The first few times I tried Click & Glow Highlighter, I was blown away by its versatility. I've applied it directly to bare skin, layered it over my BB cream, and even mixed it with my eye cream and concealer to recreate this must-have makeup hack for dark circles. Instead of overpowering the complexion - and the rest of the makeup - with radiance, the formula gives off a subtle - read: natural - glow that enhances the complexion and gives the illusion of hydrated skin.

How to use it: Before diving in, first make sure the tube is pointing straight and vertical and the applicator is pointing away from you. Then press gently to dispense the product. Using the applicator, apply Click & Glow Highlighter directly to the skin on the areas of the face that you want to highlight and brighten, such as the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, Cupid's bow, etc., and lightly blend the foundation. brushes or fingertips. For more intense highlights, you can create more coverage by clicking to apply more formula and repeating the application process as desired.

5 hacks to try:

1. REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF DARK CIRCLES

Dark circles are a force to be reckoned with, but thankfully there are ways to cover them up temporarily. One of our favorite ways to cover up the appearance of dark circles is to combine a liquid highlighter like Lancôme Click & Glow Liquid Highlighter, an eye cream, and a liquid concealer. To do this highlighter trick, simply place a drop of each product on the back of your hand and blend with a concealer brush. Then apply the mixture under the eyes in the shape of an inverted triangle (same as with a regular concealer) and blend.

2. CREATE A STROBING EFFECT

Considered lazy girls' answer to contouring, strobing is a new way to define, enhance, shape and accentuate eyes, cheeks, nose and lips. The best part? It's very easy to do it yourself! All you have to do is apply liquid highlighter above the brows, under the brow bone, at the corners of the eyes, on the bridge of the nose, on the cheekbones and above the lip on the cupid's bow.

3. MIX LIQUID HIGHLIGHT WITH LIQUID FOUNDATION

One of the best ways to learn new makeup hacks is through friends, so when our friends at Makeup.com shared this highlighter hack, we couldn't help but give it a try! Mixing a liquid highlighter with a liquid foundation is ideal for those who want to achieve a strobing effect in the minimum amount of time and effort.

4. GET A WET EYE SHADOW

Another fun way to use liquid highlighter in your beauty routine? To create a dewy, shimmery look! To do this, simply apply a little highlighter on the eyelids and blend until everything is evenly distributed. Then use an all-in-one skin ointment - we love this one from NYX Professional Makeup - for extra glossy coverage.

5. MORE FOR chubby pout

Did you know that highlighter can make your lips plumper? It's right! All you have to do is apply a few strokes of highlighter over your favorite lip gloss or lipstick to the top and center of your lips and voila!
