Choosing Best Highlighter

by Everyday Cosmetics 07 Dec 2022

Using highlighters under the eyebrow, on the temples, the tip of the nose, and under the cheekbones, you can make your natural beauty even more radiant and extraordinary. Highlighters can assist you look younger, enhance the appearance of dark circles, improve the appearance of your eyes, and improve the appearance of your brows. It is crucial to use your highlighter carefully! Cupid's bow is a great place for it!


Which highlighter to choose?

Choosing the right highlighter may seem complicated, but that is not always the case. Powders, creams, and liquids are available in these formats. Oily skiners might find pressed products a more convenient option.

If you have dry skin, a cream or liquid product with a wetter finish might be a better option. You may enjoy a light glow at daytime, while at night you can enjoy a more intense, flashier shimmer. Make sure you have a variety of highlighters in your cosmetic bag so that you can have them all.

Look for a highlighter that is approximately two shades lighter than your skin colour to match your shade. For fair skin tones, use lilac, pearl, and silver, which have more of a cool pink finish, like lilac, pearl, and silver. If you have olive-to-medium complexion, try peach, gold, and champagne highlighters to suit your needs. A rose-gold or bronze look is recommended for darker skin tones.

Powders

Highlighters on the market have different sized reflective particles. Larger particles add a radiant look to the skin, while smaller particles provide freshness and shimmer to the skin. Smaller reflective particles may give your skin a more powdery or even 'buttery' look in the sun. The size of the particles in pressed powder highlighters is an important factor.

You can achieve the desired look by using a fan-shaped brush to apply the product. To apply just the right amount, use a smaller brush. To achieve a magical illuminating effect, use the pearls in the product.
