BEAUTY - Highlighter, highlighter and again highlighter

A very good sunny morning, so the sun appears here occasionally but it is a lot colder than yesterday, unfortunately. Yesterday afternoon I went outdoor and sitting smack in the sun and of course get a little bit browner. What's better than after that to use a nice and beautiful highlighter. It looks even more radiant than before.

What is a highlighter?

According to Wikipedia a highlighter is the following :

A highlighter is a make-up product, which is used to create a gloss on the cheeks or other parts of the face. It brings this often on the cheekbones, or other ' high share " in the face where you want to catch the light, like nose bridge, Cupid's bow, inner corner of the eye and brow bone .

Highlighters exist in powder and liquid form and contains light-reflecting particles or real glitter (vary the coarseness of the glitter) that ensure a shine to the face.

A highlighter (also called illuminator ) is used to provide additional emphasis to portions of the face. And in particular the ' high share " on your face. Because there are a highlighter light reflective fabrics resemble those places where you get even more it puts forward. It also gives a fresh look, for example, fitting into the corners so that the eyes appear more striking .

Different kinds of highlighters

Highlighters are made in different shapes and in different colors.

You have them in powder form, in cream form and in liquid form. The liquid one I've don't have it in my makeup upstash because I'm still searching for the right color for my skin that suits my skin type and skin tone.

When do you apply highlighter?

First your whole face have to be completely uniform in color. Apply the foundation, concealer and facepowder first and leave it for a few minutes to rest. Then you give shade to your face by applying a contouring powder or cream for the shadows in your face. The blush will give your face a healthy look and now it's time for the hightlighter . With a soft make-Up Brush you've give a accent to your cheekbones, browbone, top of your nose and the bone above your eyebrow .

Highlight for the dark skin

For a dark skin you really can't use all the colors highlights because your face is different too gray or get a white film on your face. For dark skin is a warm golden glow better. It does not stand out because it is too white or pink is but one entirely with your skin and appearance.

My highlighters

H&M

A lowbudget product from the H&M with a light pink color but it doesn't get grey or too pink on my face. At this moment the product is in the sale for € 3,=

Drugstore Etos Highlightning powder

A soft pink to salmon colored highlighter which is very light when you see the product. The product is very powdry so don't travel with it to much because it gives fallout and the powder will get into your bag. So when you check the Price versus quality you have to say that it's way to high price. the product is too powdery and you lose half. You can buy this product at the drugstore Etos for € 4.99

 

Max & More highlighter in the contourpalette

Earlier I've wrote about the Van Max & More contourpalette and in this palette there was a highlighter. I've couldn't find a seperate highlighter from Max & More so I've been using the product in the palette. The color of the highlighter is way to light for a dark skin so I always use it as a eyeshadow. But for the price of € 1,90 I'll couldn't give it away or throw it away.

Primark bronzer/blush metalic sunkissed

Really, this product only cost € 2.50 and it is a blush/bronzer. Actually not OK as a blush AND especially the bronzer which shines too much. A bronzer musn't shine and certainly not for the dark skin! So this product I've been using it as a highlighter . Ideal for dark skin. Well done Primark and I hopecertainly you quickly open your shop in Amsterdam.

 

Sleek highlighting palette

The best for last this wonderful palette Sleek. The product lubricates very well. The cream is creamy and the colors doesn't giving your skin a gray axis. Recommended. This product is among other things for sale at the drugstore DIO for approximately
€ 13.99

Highlight your life and you look radiant . This is also the intention of the higlighter . Do you also have one of these products? Share your experience by writing a comment below this blog post .
