What is the function of highlighter and what are the specific steps to use highlighter

Highlighter is a cosmetic that many of us have used. Many girls use highlighter when putting on makeup, but some people still don't know much about its function. So what is the function of highlighter? What are the specific steps to use highlighter?

Liquid highlighter, also known as liquid highlighter, is a liquid highlighter product as the name implies. Liquid highlighter is usually mixed with finishing products, such as liquid foundation. Highlighters are generally divided into two types: powder and liquid. Powder is more commonly used, usually in the form of highlighter powder cake or highlighter puff, but liquid highlighter is also a better highlighter product. However, it should be noted that the mixing ratio of liquid highlighter and liquid foundation is generally a pump of liquid foundation with only a few drops of liquid highlighter. Generally, it is better for people with dry skin to use liquid highlighter, because dry skin is prone to peeling. The water and oil content of liquid highlighter is relatively sufficient to meet the needs of dry skin. Friends with oily skin are not recommended to use liquid highlighter, after all, liquid highlighter itself is relatively oily. If used on oily skin, it will make the oiliness of the face worse, and the makeup will appear dirty and mottled.

First, mix the highlighter with the foundation, then dip it on the upper part of the brow bone, nose and chin to make a big "T", then use your fingers or a beauty egg to blend it, and then on the cheekbones of the cheeks, we can make a "heart" or "small circle", and use the same method to blend it in a concentrated way. This is the specific steps for using the highlighter. The face is three-dimensional, and at this time, the highlighter plays a big role. Highlighting does not mean that you have to apply it on a large area of ​​the entire face. In fact, you only need to use specific facial parts, just like the light and dark sides in a sketch, because they are relative, they will stand out. We find the upper part of the brow bone, the bridge of the nose and the chin of the face, and use the dip and dot method to make a "T" letter. This is the part of the face where we need to highlight. Then we need to blend it in a concentrated way. As mentioned earlier, highlights are not needed on all facial areas, but on specific parts. If the highlights are applied on the entire face, the whole face will appear very greasy, which will give people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Highlight is a contouring step, close to the last step. Generally, the highlighting step is done after the base makeup, eye makeup, and lip makeup are done. At this time, it is not only about applying highlights, but also brushing shadows. Highlights are used to make the entire makeup more shiny, and when matched with shadows, the three-dimensional effect will be more obvious. Many people do not pay attention to contouring, and even think that the entire makeup will become dirty after applying shadows. In fact, as long as the amount is controlled and the makeup technique is paid attention to, the makeup after contouring will generally be more refined. First, apply a foundation cream with a pearlescent effect on the T-zone in the middle of the face. This is the Sun Moon Crystal Three-Dimensional Highlight Foundation Cream (brush type), which feels pretty good. Remember that the "one" on the forehead cannot be drawn too high, just slightly higher than the eyebrows. The length should also be moderate, slightly longer than the distance between the eyebrows.
