Why do I need a highlighter?
Highlighters add accents and make your skin glow. With a highlighter, you can emphasize and bring certain areas of your face to the forefront. In general, a highlighter gives a fresh look and makes you appear more youthful. A highlighter is applied as the final touch of your makeup. Whether a subtle shimmer or a stronger shine – your creativity knows no bounds.
What is a highlighter?
A highlighter consists of very fine pigments that act like tiny reflectors, capturing and reflecting light. Depending on the consistency and type of highlighter, these fluorescent highlighter particles are embedded in powder, oil, or creamy textures.
What types of highlighters are there?
Basically, there are powder, cream, and liquid highlighters.
Powder Highlighter
Powder highlighters are applied very similarly to blush using a blush or highlighter brush. Powder highlighters have a light texture, are non-comedogenic, and are suitable for all skin types, especially oily skin. You can apply them as targeted accents or more broadly on the décolleté, shoulders, and arms for a radiant, festive look.
Cream Highlighter
Cream highlighters are applied either with your fingers or a makeup brush. Creamy highlighters can be applied very precisely. Thanks to their creamy, moisturizing texture, they blend with the skin and leave a natural, dewy look. They are suitable for all skin types, especially dry or mature skin.
Liquid Highlighters
Liquid highlighters have a very light texture and are applied with fingers or a makeup brush. They can also be used very precisely and blended for a natural, fresh look. Usually, just a few drops are enough. Tip: Mix a few drops into your foundation for a radiant base.
How do I use a highlighter?
With a highlighter, you can add accents, especially in these areas: on the cheeks, under the eyebrows, above the eyebrows, in the inner corner of the eyes, above the cupid’s bow, or on the bridge of the nose.
