Using highlighter to refine your features

Here's a preview of a shot I recently did for a magazine on behalf of Mary Kay.  I really wanted to share it with you as I get asked so many times how to use highlighters and since this look was all about glow I thought I'd share the steps. we were concerned that the models eyebrows were very straight.  Therefore I sued a Maky Kay Facial Highlihtng pen to help to accentuate the thngs we want to see the most.
Since the model lacked an arch on her eyebrow I used the Mary Kay Facial Highlighting pen $18 at:

I used it on her brow bone to start to give her eyebrows a bit of shape by illuminating the area underneath them.  I used shade #2
I then applied it above the eyebrow.  I really like this highlighter because it is not too extreme, it doesn't give you an unrealistic shine but really it just gives a nice glow.  Also it is very easy to apply as you can use it directly from the applicator or apply it with your fingers.
I then applied it on the bridge of her nose and right above her blush.  Easy!  and no way to mess it up!
