Dua Lipa's Makeup Artist Reveals Butterfly Highlighter Technique

The Butterfly Technique: Glow Like a Dua-Worthy Highlighter Look!

We’ve all been down the TikTok rabbit hole, wasting hours of our lives. But once in a blue moon, a beauty tip emerges that makes it all worthwhile. Is trading a chunk of our time for falsie-level lashes or a perfect highlighter in just five seconds a fair deal? Absolutely, if you ask us!

And speaking of amazing beauty tips, we have a gem from Lisa Eldridge, the makeup artist behind Dua Lipa’s flawless looks. She’s graciously shared her lightning-fast, one-product glowing skin hack called the “butterfly technique.”

Now, let’s dive into Eldridge’s latest pro tip. Get ready to float like a butterfly and slay like a Dua-worthy highlighter look. That’s what it’s all about, right?

The Trick Unveiled

We are no strangers to Lisa Eldridge’s TikTok… or her coffee table book, Instagram, and iconic YouTube channel. She’s a true beauty legend, and when she speaks, it’s time to listen.

According to Eldridge, the butterfly technique is her go-to when she’s on a time crunch during photo shoots. The best part? All it takes are your hands and your favorite liquid highlighter.

As Lisa explains in her TikTok video, when she notices that the model or celebrity needs more glow in a particular area, her butterfly technique swoops in. With the photographer busy doing their thing, she needs to be fast but effective.

Here’s how it goes: Lisa swipes her own liquid highlighter, the Lisa Eldridge Cosmetics Elevated Glow Highlighter ($38) in Crystal Nebula, onto the outer edge of her hand. Then, she rubs the product between the edges of her hands to distribute and warm it up.

“The shape of this part of your hand is perfect for fitting into the cheekbone area,” she reveals.

According to Lisa, the next step is to apply the highlighter to the skin in three upward, curved “butterfly wing shapes.” Imagine cupping your hands, but only utilizing the outside edge of your palm. Trust us, it’s easier than it sounds!

“It takes just five seconds, and honestly, hands are often the best makeup tools,” Lisa adds, while her model watches in awe.

While this trick works best when applied by someone else, Lisa has an extra tip for those who prefer a self-sufficient glow.

“On yourself, use the fleshier part of the side of your hand and pat it onto your cheekbone with a rocking motion up to your temples,” she explains in a comment when someone asks about self-application.

Lastly—and listen closely—it’s this easy! Simply use your fingers to tap the product into your skin. Voila! You’re now as luminous as a mermaid Barbie!

So, the next time you find yourself endlessly scrolling, remember that hidden gems like Lisa Eldridge’s butterfly technique can transform your beauty routine in just seconds. Embrace the power of the butterfly and unleash your inner glow!
