Color highlighters

No professional makeup artist can not do without the highlighter. To date, this makeup tool is considered basic in the arsenal of stylists. We used to see it in tones close to standard skin colors. However, there are colored highlighters, the colors of which may seem completely unexpected.

The word "highlighter" is translated from English as "select". His goal - to highlight or highlight a particular area on the face. It is usually applied to the prominent parts of the face: nose, cheekbones, forehead. With it, you can adjust some areas on the face, hide small wrinkles.

Typically, highlighters differ in color that is close to the natural skin tone. This, for example, pink with additional shimmering pigments, which create a "highlighting" image. In classic makeup types, “standard” highlighters are used.

The latest novelty is rainbow highlighter. It is a single texture, and it includes all seven shades of the rainbow. When applied, it can be shaded in a single color, and it can be applied (for example, on the cheekbones) exactly as it is - the result will be very effective and unusual.

Recently, makeup artists are increasingly using color highliders on their models. This suggests that fashion steps forward. You can easily embody the most interesting ideas in reality.

As mentioned above, the highlighter is intended to underline certain features of the face.. With it, you can also hide too prominent features, if you skillfully pick up the color.

For dark skin, shades of a gold highlighter are most often selected. With it, you can also give volume to the lips - just apply a small amount over the upper lip. If you select them forehead, you can significantly lengthen the oval face. Makeup artists often add a highlighter in the shade and apply it on the eyelids. The look from this looks radiant. To underline the eyebrows, it is enough to apply a highlighter under them - along the hairline.

For each skin tone, select your own highlighter color.. If you are going to use a highlighter, you need to assess the condition of the skin. Already starting from the initial base, you need to select the color of the highlighter.

• For fair skin usually use peach highlighter.
• For pale skin choose more beige shades - from light milky to white.
• Silver and pearl colors usually suitable for blondes.
• Shades of dark brown, Bronze and gold look good on the dark skin of brunettes.
• Blue and lilac highlighters Suitable for reddish skin. Working with such colors, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the result will be unpredictable.

• Green highlighters eliminate redness - for example, acne. Such remedies may make the facial imperfections less noticeable - roughness or scars.
• Multi-colored highlighter used to create an unusual image - for example, for fashion shows or photo shoots.

On the market you can find a variety of highlighters - ranging from budget lines and ending with professional cosmetics, which have won hearts for a long time.

When you come to the cosmetics shop, there is a huge selection of highlighters for every taste in the shop windows: dry, ball, powder or pencil. Not everyone decides right away which highlighter to choose. First you need to understand what consistency is needed:

• Liquid funds directed for point application.
• Powder Highlighters needed professional makeup artists, as well as those who prefer mineral makeup.
• Creamy products are used for dry skin and for skin that has lost its elasticity.

When the desired consistency is chosen, attention should be paid to the color of the highlighter itself. You can define your color right in the store. To do this, apply several shades to the brush and thoroughly shade them with your finger. If the skin remained natural, but began to shine a little, then this is the color that is needed. This may be, for example, peach.

First you need to adjust the face and mask its flaws using the corrector. If the skin is fairly smooth, then you can only use foundation. When the base is ready, you can start applying the highlighter.

It should be noted the highest points on the cheekbones and smoothly highlight the highlighter in an arc. It should also be noted a small hole above the upper lip - to create a small swelling. You can put a little money on the nose, namely, on its elongated part. So it can be made more visually elegant.

Then select the chin with the highlighter. To do this, apply a small amount of the product onto the finger, then blend it onto the chin. It should be noted that the owners of large chins should not do this.

Then mark the approximate middle of the upper eyelid. So the look becomes more expressive. Very often, make-up artists mark the inner corner of the eye with a highlight - to hide signs of fatigue.

Girls who have purchased highlighter (especially if it happened for the first time), they feel indescribable delight, because in reality this tool looks really impressive.
