Highlighters types and availability in India
Hi Girls!!
You have an event where you wish to look all radiant and
glowy. You did contouring and applied
your blush but still something is missing, the glow. In the last makeup topic,
we have talked about blushes and how they bring color to your face
and in this post, I am going to talk about Highlighters.
You may have known that you do contour the areas that you wish to recede and
the ones you would highlight tend to become prominent. Thereby, the Final,
result would be a more chiseled face with dimensions especially in photographs
as in photos what you see is 2 dimensional instead of what you see in person.
So as of now, keeping the contouring thing aside. Let me talk
about the highlighters only in this post!
Highlighters are
makeup products with micro shimmers. Like you contour your hollows of the
cheekbones, jaw line and sides of the forehead in the same way you highlight
your cheekbones, brow bone, Nose Bridge, Cupid ’s bow etc. It is not
necessary to highlight all the above mentioned areas. Just the highlighting
your cheekbones and brow bone is enough to give you a radiant look.
In the picture above, you can see the highpoint of my cheek and browbone where the white dots indicates the placement of your highlighter. You have to blend it too right!! Dots are for illustration purpose!
Now, highlighters
are available in powder, cream and liquid formula.
Powder
highlighters: Like the ones you see in most of the contouring kit. For
eg: sleek face contouring kit. It consists of a highlighter, MAC extra
dimension highlighter
Liquid
highlighters: Name says it all, they have a liquid consistency like you
see in Colorbar illuminator pen, Faces Canada metaliglow face highlighter
Cream highlighter:
They are the ones that you come across in pencils with creamy lids.
Just like a single shade can’t cater to everyone! Same goes
for these face highlighters as well.
Highlighters can be peachy, pink, beige, rose gold, bronze etc in color. Rose
gold, beige gold looks beautiful on most of the skin tones.
Apart from the shade micro shimmers used in them is also to
be looked at. The highlighters should contain micro shimmer which when blended
should reflect light to give an illusion of glow and radiance but should not be
chunky as they will be too obvious that you have applied something. You really don’t want that!!
The smoother the light reflection would be the better
natural illusion it oozes! Just pat the highlighter on the desired area and
does not need too much blending!
If you are planning to buy highlighters in India, then let
me give you some options. For that I have prepared this small list of the
highlighters available in India, that you can consider. They are sold mostly
with the bronzers and blush as duos and trios.

with a contouring powder and blush
