Sometimes commentators are unhappy that articles about makeup are many foreign words. Highlighter, illyuminayzery, concealers, dyuralayn - the presence of Anglicisms in the text of the many disappointing.
Today we will address the theme of highlighter: what it is, why it is needed in the make-up (and need it?), And will show some of them in her purse.
What is highlighter, and its main task
This means of decorative cosmetics, which brighten individuals zone and puts it in the light accents.
Today highlighter - mandatory product in a make-up arsenal. Due to glow it gives the skin a fresh and rested look. Also solves an important problem in sculpting - to emphasize the natural relief of the person: highlight cheekbones, make a flat nasal bridge, or make the forehead and slightly higher volumetric.
In addressing any issues in the make-up you should not rely on the highlighter
He does not mask the pimples will not hide wrinkles and under-eye circles. Though walking on the Internet Tips to apply highlighter on the bone under the eyes to hide dark circles under the eyes, in fact - not much help. But it is better than nothing (and certainly better concealer dense layer).
Types highlighter:
- liquid: The consistency resembles a very light cream, applied with a sponge or brush, perfectly shaded top of the foundation, but the bad friends with powder;
- creamThick, well shaded on the face, but the tone biased liquid, otherwise uneven lie;
- crumbly: In the arsenal of make-up, you need skill to apply, as well as disadvantages of this species is no highlighter;
- solid stick: A very handy thing to work through the difficult parts of the face (the lower eyelid, eye corners);
- compact: The most versatile option for make-up artists and ordinary man in the street, perfectly combined with foundation and powder, suitable for day or evening makeup.
where to apply
Is applied to the lightening zones: the cheekbones, under the eyebrow (visually it will raise), A tick above the lip (It gives them a volume), And the tip of the very few on the back of the nose (visually make the nose thinner) into the inner corners of the eyes (actually morning, very good refreshing view).
I am an opponent of the Board to apply highlighter to the chin area. Ostensibly, this helps visually make a more oval face "stretched." But in fact it looks as though someone has carelessly ate fried chicken, and oil flowed down his chin. Similarly, and with lightening middle of the forehead: it has to visually make voluminous, but I had no idea that such a focus is necessary to run a cross.
I will show some examples of highlighter that I use
I dry compact highlighter Essence strobing highlighter (shade 10), Estrade Illumique (shade 304), from highlighter triple pallets NYX 3Steps to Sculpt 01 cream in stick of Maybelline MASTER strobing stick №100 and versatile tool Estrade #86.
They are all completely different! Each in its own good. For example, the Essence strobing highlighter shade 10 in a very delicate (I would say - pearl) glow, very finely ground particles that look on your face is worthy. I like to use it in the summer, to give a completely natural glow of the skin. Unfortunately, I do not see more of it in the market. It is a pity, wanted to upgrade as the package smashed :-(
Estrade Illumique in the shade of 304 - a new favorite of mine, had a more active shine in comparison with Essence, but the glow is not going away in the defiant glint.
Maybelline MASTER strobing stick my very first highlighter in stick, and I can not stop loving him. Very delicate and gentle glow. The particles are so finely ground that looks sleek and lively. Owners of dehydrated and dull skin, I would advise first this option.
If I need a stable version, so to direct the fire and water, in this case I have a universal remedy Estrade. Sits almost perfectly still, but to work with him to fast, because the speed of light freezes.
Why universal? Suitable as a highlighter, and shadows. And if it is absolutely necessary for any mega-creative makeup (or such an occasion presented), even their lip make up is possible, but the comfort and durability, of course, so-so. Shine on a very cool, there is a huge sequins. A huge plus that during the day all the glitter is where you have caused it, without rubbing and walking all over his face.
Less favorite highlighter from triple pallets NYX 3Steps to Sculpt. Not to say that it is all bad, but for a very specific and too bright when you need to shine like unto a star. Very coarsely, for an amateur. Resistance is average, closer to the minimum, dusty. I prefer to use more for ever, instead of shadows, there's an excellent luster and "sits" on the base very well.
