Jeffree Star Skin Frost: How to Use for Intense Highlight

Quick Answer

Use a dense, flat brush and a damp sponge to apply the Jeffree Star 24 Karat Skin Frost Pro Palette for a blinding, intense highlight. Layer for maximum impact.

Step-by-Step Intense Highlight Application

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a moisturized, primed face. A dewy base helps the powder highlighter blend seamlessly. Common mistake: applying highlighter to dry or flaky skin can make texture more noticeable.
2. Choose Your Shade: Select a shade from the 24 Karat Skin Frost Pro Palette that complements your skin tone. Lighter shades work for a subtle glow; deeper shades add intensity. Checkpoint: test on your jawline to see how it reflects light before applying to the whole cheek.
3. Use a Dense Brush: Pick a flat, dense brush (like a fan brush or a small paddle brush) and dip it into the powder. Tap off excess to avoid fallout. Common mistake: using a fluffy brush can diffuse the product too much, reducing intensity.
4. Apply to High Points: Press the brush onto the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, your brow bone, and your cupid's bow. Use a patting motion for maximum pigment. Checkpoint: blend the edges with a clean brush for a seamless finish.
5. Layer for Intensity: For a blinding highlight, let the first layer set for a few seconds, then apply a second layer. You can also use a damp sponge to press the powder into the skin for extra shine. Common mistake: applying too many layers at once can cause caking; build gradually.
6. Set with Setting Spray: Finish with a setting spray to lock in the highlight and reduce fallout. This also helps the glow last all day. Common mistake: skipping setting spray can cause the powder to fade or transfer.
