beauty.jpg

A highlighter is designed to provide the skin with a fresh, healthy and radiant look. What are other properties of a highlighter and what are its types? Discover how to choose the best product for your complexion and how to use it correctly. 

Highlighter – properties:

  • makes the skin radiant,
  • reduces the signs of fatigue,
  • contours the face,
  • enhances the most flattering features, for instance, the cheekbones,
  • covers up flaws, for instance, the shape of the nose.

Types of highlighters:

  • pressed highlighters,
  • highlighters in a stick,
  • liquid highlighters.

The pressed highlighter is to be applied with a brush, thus, if you make a mistake, it is easy to correct it right away. The highlighter in a stick should be applied to the foundation but before adding your setting powder. However, a liquid highlighter looks best when dabbed in with the fingertips or a sponge. What’s more, it is important to make sure that the product does not differ from the foundation nor rub it away. Also, a liquid highlighter is most recommended for women with dry skin type.

How to choose the right highlighter?

The highlighter should be chosen according to the type of beauty:

  • Women with a cool skin tone have a light complexion and blue eyes and look flattering in black, navy blue, purple and burgundy clothes. Those women should choose a highlighter with golden flecks.
  • Women with a warm skin tone are blondes and brunettes that look great in bright colours. Women with a warm type of skin should reach for a highlighter with silver particles.
    If we are not convinced to a consistent highlighter, choose a mixed cosmetic.

How to apply a highlighter?

The highlighter can be applied to different parts of the face depending on the effect we want to achieve.

  1. The highlighter is usually applied to the upper parts of the zygomatic bones, which adds a glow to the face.
  2. The most desired highlighting effect is obtained by applying the cosmetic with a fan brush.
  3. Applying the highlighter to the line between the eyebrows and to the tip of the nose will optically reduce the latter.
  4. The highlighter in the stick can be applied to the corners of the eyes to enlarge them visually and add a nice glow.
  5. The application under the eyebrow arch will visually enlarge the eye and improve the shape of the eyebrows.
  6. Applying the highlighter to the chin is a great way to optically enlarge the lips and enhance the face. It should be used at the very end to finish the makeup.
  7. To hide fatigue and to enlarge the eye optically, put the product in its inner corners.
  8. In order to give the lips a fuller look, apply a highlighter to the cupid’s bow.
