Flawless Highlight Duo | Pressed Highlighter + Fan Brush Set

Where do I apply highlighter for a natural glow vs. a bold strobe?

For a natural, lit-from-within glow, apply highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, on the cupid's bow, and just under the brow bone. For a bold, strobe-lit effect, layer more product on those same spots or press it in with a damp beauty sponge to intensify the shine.

How do I pick a highlighter shade that flatters my undertone?

Cool undertones look most natural in pearly, silvery, or icy pink highlighters. Warm undertones glow in champagne, gold, or peach shades. Neutral undertones can wear both — Sunrise (a warm champagne) and Sunset (a soft rose gold) in our Pressed Highlighter range are designed to flatter across a wide range of skin tones.

Is Bodyography highlighter cream, powder, or liquid — and which is best for my skin type?

We offer both formats. Inner Glow Stick is a cream/stick highlighter, best for dry, mature, or normal skin because it melts into the skin for a natural, dewy finish. From Within Pressed Highlighter is a powder, best for oily or combination skin because it sits on top of the skin without adding shine or oil.

Will highlighter accentuate texture or fine lines on mature skin?

The wrong highlighter can — but the right one won't. For mature skin, we recommend Inner Glow Stick or a finely milled powder like our Pressed Highlighter applied with a light hand. Avoid chunky glitter and skip highlighter on areas with visible texture. Focus on the tops of the cheekbones and cupid's bow, where light naturally catches.

Can I mix it into foundation for an all-over glow?

Yes, mixing a small amount of highlighter into your foundation is a pro trick for an all-over lit-from-within finish. Try a swipe of Inner Glow Stick with a pump of Natural Finish Foundation on the back of your hand, then apply as you normally would. It's especially beautiful for evening events or photography.

Is Bodyography cruelty-free and vegan?

Yes — Bodyography is 100% cruelty-free and has been for over 27 years. The majority of our products are also vegan; a few contain beeswax or other animal-derived ingredients (all cruelty-free). Check individual product pages for confirmed vegan status. Cruelty-free is a non-negotiable across the brand. Certified by PETA and LEAPING BUNNY.

Where is Bodyography made, and are ingredients ethically sourced?

Bodyography is a family-owned professional cosmetics brand, headquartered in California and manufactured primarily in the United States, along with partners in S. Korea, France, Spain, Taiwan, China and Italy. We source ingredients responsibly and formulate to our own clean-beauty standards rather than to a universal checklist. What we include is just as intentional as what we leave out.

What's Bodyography's return policy on opened makeup?

We offer returns on unused products within 30 days of purchase. Because of hygiene standards, we generally cannot accept returns on opened cosmetics unless the product is defective. If your product arrived damaged or you have a formulation concern, please reach out to our customer service team — we take every message seriously and want to make it right.

How can I get a free professional shade match?

We offer free shade matching for foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer, and more. Email us with a clear, natural-light photo of your face and neck (no makeup, no filter), and one of our team members — many of whom are working makeup artists — will match you personally. It's one of the most-used services we offer.
