How to Choose the Right Highlighter to Give Your Makeup a New Look?

In the process of creating a perfect makeup, the choice of highlighter is crucial. A good highlighter can enhance facial contours and make the skin look fuller and more radiant. Every makeup lover knows the importance of highlighters, but how to choose the highlighter that suits you?

Common classification of highlighters. Powder highlighter: Made of powdery substances, usually used with a brush, with a fine texture, easy to control the amount, and high durability. Paste highlighter: Made of paste-like substances, usually applied directly with fingers or sponges, with a moist texture, can create a more natural effect, but with low durability. Liquid highlighter: Made of liquid substances, usually applied with a makeup brush or sponge, with a light texture, can create a natural luster, but requires certain skills.

1. Choose highlighters according to skin color

For warm skin: warm skin is suitable for choosing highlighters that are more golden. Golden highlights can brighten the skin and add a warm glow. You can choose highlighter products with peach gold, champagne gold or golden color.

For cool skin: cool skin is suitable for choosing highlighter with more silver tone. Silver highlighter can increase the brightness and cool effect of skin. You can choose highlighter products with silver, white silver or bluish silver.

For neutral skin: neutral skin can choose highlighter with gold or silver tone according to personal preference. Neutral skin is easier to adapt to different tones of highlighter, and can choose the appropriate tone according to different makeup and occasions.

For Asian skin: Asian skin is suitable for choosing highlighter with pearl white or natural pink. Pearl white highlighter can increase the brightness and natural radiance of skin, while natural pink highlighter can increase the health of skin.

2. Choose highlighter by function

Contour highlighter: mainly used to brighten the contour lines of the face, such as the bridge of the nose, chin and cheekbones, to enhance the three-dimensional effect.

Brightening highlighter: mainly used to brighten specific areas of the face, such as brow bones, eyelids and lips, to make the makeup brighter.

Modifying highlights: In addition to brightening and contouring, it also has the function of modifying imperfect skin texture, which can cover dullness, spots and other problems.

3. Choose highlights according to the usage scenario

Daily makeup highlights: Natural makeup suitable for daily life is usually lighter in color, moderate in brightness, and not too conspicuous.

Party makeup highlights: Makeup suitable for parties, nightclubs and other occasions, with brighter colors and higher brightness, which can create a shining effect.

Highlighter is usually used after base makeup and before setting makeup. After the base makeup is completed, use the highlighter product to lightly apply a layer on the parts that need to be brightened, and then use the setting product to set the makeup. It should be noted that if you use powdered highlights, you need to let the highlights blend naturally into the base makeup before setting the makeup.
