Associate editor Eugene’s favourite face highlighters to brighten up tired skin without looking oily!

It’s no secret that I’m an enthusiastic endorser of this most exquisite and elegant of J-Beauty brands, but hey, this baby right here is hand to heart, pinky promise, honest-to-goodness paradise in a pan.

Here’s the 30-second trick I deploy whenever I’m in dire need of an emergency pick-me-up. Sweep this sandy-hued highlighter along your cheekbones and keep the rest of your face beautifully bare – the featherweight formula leaves zero garish glitter and lends my skin an incredibly incandescence that’s beautiful to behold. Check it out, stat!

The portability of this pen makes this a wand you can wield to create makeup magic that’s maximum impact with minimal effort – the beauty equivalent of a pop princess lip-synching on stage.

To brighten up your baby blues, simply dab directly into the V-shaped area between the innermost part of your eye and the bridge of your nose. Instant gratification is guaranteed thanks to light-reflecting optics in the formula, which disguises discolourations and lends a lovely luminosity – like draping a veil of the sheerest satin over your skin.

This sparkly special iteration of one of the beauty world’s most iconic illuminator is superb for lending light and life to your eyes. Accenting your baby blues with a touch of highlighter at the corners isn’t exactly earth-shattering in concept – but it’s certainly one of the easiest and highest-impact trick in the beauty book.

I’ve found this #LimitedEdition pen (as well as the “original” formula, for that matter) to be a superb shortcut to looking fresh – the glimmering effect as light falls on your face will camouflage fatigue and lend the illusion of bigger and brighter peepers. The intensely incandescent, high-shine triangle at the inner corners will really pop under the pulsing lights of a disco’s dancefloor!

This relatively new kid on the beauty block boasts a universally flattering tint that will cancel out most causes of shadows and sallowness, while letting just enough light to filter in to give the illusion of beguilingly bare skin.

Feel free to apply this makeup multitasker anywhere you please. Simply press the smooshy sponge tip on your skin and smudge softly outwards from the inner corners into the lids, so that there is no distinct demarcation between the various colours on your eye. This creates a hypnotic “halo” effect that’s fabulously flirty and feminine.

If you’re an adherent of the no-makeup movement, try patting it into bare skin as a brightening base – on good skin days, this alone should suffice. Blend along the nose bridge to draw attention to the middle of your face; dot on your cupid’s bow for poutier puckers; and finish with a dab in the middle of your chin.

Daunted by dark eye circles? “Eye” think you should lighten up by turning to this perfecting pen that will have you looking fresh-faced and fabulous in no time at all.

Here’s how. Start by looking down into a mirror placed flat on a table to pinpoint the problematic purplish discolouration beneath your eye, then stipple on several dots in a U-shaped curve. Finish by blending outwards with a damp sponge. Voila! A dewy, semi-sheer finish that will leave you looking like you had the nap of a lifetime.

This handy little hard worker will also be of aid in your blemish-busting battle, as disguising pitted pimple scars is plain sailing with this buildable base. What I do is to pick up the product with a small angled brush and go over each and every spot, blemish by blemish, as if my brush were an eraser. This admittedly arduous method will yield results that are by far more natural than blanketing your entire face with warpaint, which can look very “lumpy” and artificial on acne-afflicted skin. Try it!

To breathe depth and dimension into flat facial features, feel free to experiment with this beguiling brightening palette that’s one of the best on the market for my money.  

Having tried, tested and thrashed countless cheaper dupes, I find this particular baby to yield an unparalleled sun-kissed effect that’s a world away from the overdone and over-baked contouring of yesteryear.

Try your hand at Korean-style bronzing by lightly buffing this brick hue into the hollows of your cheeks and along the temples. Blend well in natural light – do your makeup next to a sunlit window, if possible – to make sure you’re not overdoing things. For your efforts, you’ll be rewarded with a glimmer that’s gorgeous beyond belief.

This Brit beautifier is an exquisite elixir that excels at canceling out dullness and discolourations while allowing just enough of your skin to peek through for a naturally nude effect. Simply brush on a thin layer over strategic areas of your face (and go one shade lighter in this instance): Brow bone, nose bridge, cupid’s bow; wherever you think would do well with a hint of a tint.

Or try layering this over your eye cream as a primer-cum-preventative measure – the extra helping of hydration will soften those spidery lines that are the ominous beginnings of deeper-set crow’s feet.

Cautionary caveat: If you are well, a woman of a certain age, avoid too much pearlescence at the innermost corners, as the mica formulation of high-sheen products can gather in fine lines and accentuate your crow’s feet. That said, if you’re young and sprightly, it’s all systems go!

This pampering pencil boasts a comfortably creamy consistency that glides on like a dream – an incredibly important criteria particularly if you’re playing up your peepers, as you don’t want any tugging and tearing along the delicate orbital region.

To use, simple run it along wherever you think needs a little helping of highlighter, then blend softly. This run-and-blend technique works much like a real-life Instagram filter in simulating that softly diffused, is-she-or-isn’t-she look the beauty world is so enamoured with these days!

Another huge plus? I’m a sucker for aesthetically pleasing packaging, and this glossy black tube is gorgeous in that understated Bobbi Brown way.

Right, then. Get any one of these babies and you’ll be well on your way to looking like one of those ruddy-cheeked, K-Drama lasses caught in a gentle garden drizzle – fresh, dewy and divine!
