Prada’s Highlighter 02 Pink is a luxurious aluminizing product. It is designed to enhance your natural glow with a soft, sophisticated pink sheen. Known for its finely milled texture and buildable radiance, it works beautifully on various skin tones to create a youthful, fresh-faced finish. Here’s how to apply it for maximum impact and elegance:
1. Start with a Clean, Prepped Canvas
Before applying any highlighter, ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and prepped. Use your regular skincare routine, including a hydrating primer if desired. A well-moisturized base helps the highlighter glide on smoothly and blend effortlessly into the skin.
If you’re wearing foundation, apply it first, followed by concealer and powder if needed. Prada Highlighter 02 Pink can be applied over liquid, cream, or powder foundation without disturbing the base due to its lightweight, finely milled texture.
2. Choose the Right Tools
For the most natural and precise application, choose your tool based on the finish you prefer:
- Fan brush or tapered highlighting brush: Ideal for a diffused, soft glow.
- Fingertips: Best for more concentrated application or tapping onto the high points.
- Damp beauty sponge: Perfect for a dewy, skin-like finish with maximum bendability.
3. Identify the High Points of the Face
Highlighter works best when applied to the areas of the face that naturally catch the light. With Prada 02 Pink’s subtle pink undertone, it gives a soft, youthful flush alongside the glow. Focus on these areas.
- Cheekbones: Sweep across the tops of your cheekbones, blending upward toward the temples for a lifted effect.
- Brow bone: Apply just under the arch of your brow to lift and define.
- Bridge of the nose: Lightly dust along the nose bridge (avoid the tip if you don’t want added attention there).
- Cupid’s bow: Add a touch to the top of your lips to enhance fullness.
- Inner corners of the eyes: Brightens the eyes and adds a fresh, awake look.
Optional: Lightly dust some on the centre of your forehead and chin for a balanced glow.
4. Blend, Blend, Blend
Prada Highlighter 02 Pink is designed to melt into the skin rather than sit on top. After placement, use circular motions with your brush or tapping motions with a sponge or fingers to blend the edges. The goal is a seamless transition with no harsh lines.
If you’ve accidentally applied too much, diffuse it with a clean brush or blend it into the skin using your foundation sponge.
5. Layer for Intensity
This highlighter is buildable. For a subtle glow, one layer is enough. For more intensity (e.g., evening events or photoshoots), gently layer more product until you achieve the desired radiance.
6. Finishing Touches
Set your makeup with a setting spray for longevity and to help the highlighter blend even more naturally into your skin. A dewy setting spray will amplify the glow.
Final Tip
Prada 02 Pink can also double as a soft blush topper. If you’re wearing a pink-toned blush, lightly dusting this highlighter over it will add dimension and luminosity without overpowering the colour.
With these steps, you can make the most of Prada Highlighter 02 Pink’s unique rosy sheen, enhancing your features with elegance and subtle glamour.
