In My Bathroom: Nicole Elise’s Expert Highlighting Technique

Highlighter has become so ubiquitous over the past decade that it’s easy to forget the category’s origin story in the mainstream. Once a secret guarded by Hollywood makeup artists, the widespread desire for glistening skin has birthed countless creams, gels, and powders. Mastering its application, however, is less straightforward.

For model and Youtuber Nicole Elise, crafting a glowing beauty look means calling upon the tricks she’s learned on set and mastered in front of the camera. In today’s In My Bathroom, the influencer uses a clever array of shimmering primer, cream, and powder for a lit-from-within finish.
