Highlighting and contouring have always been counted among make-up essentials, with the latter being the focus for years. But today, highlighting is the base of your make-up regimen. Earlier, any kind of shine on your face would allude to it being oily. But that notion is now changing with glowing skin in demand since it is re­garded as a sign of health. We got a glimpse of it when mo­del Deepti Gujral walked the ra­mp at an ongoing fashion week in the city with her perfectly highlighted skin.

"Two years ago, it was all about matte. But that has reduced to just lipsticks — even there, a creamy matte texture is favoured. Even in Mumbai, where the humidity levels are always high, the original matte foundation has taken a back seat," make-up artiste Tanvi Marathe, who has worked with the likes of Sonakshi Sinha and Gujral, explains. Besides, highlighters come with moisturising qualities, which have also helped them gain popularity.
