When to use highlight

Highlighter is a method that can be used to brighten facial features while applying makeup, making the entire outline look very clear and distinct. Highlighter has a magical effect and the order of use in makeup is very important. You can apply a layer of base first and then apply highlighter. Finally, apply powder to evenly spread the highlighter without worrying about fusion.

Generally, one end of the pen is an eyebrow pencil and the other end is a highlighter pen. Use the eyebrow pencil end to draw the eyebrow shape. After the eyebrows are drawn, use the highlighter end to draw under the eyebrows.

1. Brighten highlights

Use a highlighter and apply some on the center of your nose, mainly to brighten the middle part of your nose. We will also be doing contouring in a moment. These two steps combined will give the illusion that the face is thinner and tighter. First, tap lightly on the bridge of your nose with your fingers. Of course, you can also use a brush, but tapping lightly with your fingers can make the foundation fit better and look more natural.

2. Shadow

We can see that the bridge of the nose has been brightened, and next we will use contouring cream to create shadows. Contouring means choosing a color that is at least 3 shades darker than your natural skin tone, and choosing cool tones rather than warm tones. This is because warm-toned contouring products will create an orange or terracotta look.

First method

Put some foundation on both sides of the concealer makeup brush and apply it on the middle area between the tip of the nose and the wings of the nose, making sure to move it upwards. This is a more everyday way of applying makeup. It won’t look too exaggerated, and no one will notice it even if you apply it every day! At the same time, in order to highlight the effect, we can also blend the shadow to the sides and bottom.

If you want a more pronounced effect, use the brush to apply more product and draw a full vertical line on the side of your nose. Then use a makeup brush to blend this line downwards. Note that this line should go from the eyebrow to the middle part of the nose tip and nose wing we just drew, so that the blending downwards will look natural.

If you don't want the effect to be so obvious, use a cotton pad and a little foundation to dab on the shadow for a more natural look. Next, we draw the other side. Be careful to draw it as straight as possible, even lightly to the eyebrow, and then blend it downwards to make the line look more precise. Also, press it with a makeup sponge.

Art highlighter pen

The pen's construction principle is similar to that of ordinary correction fluid, and the pen tip is a plastic or metal needle with a built-in elasticity. Generally, there are three specifications: 0.7, 1.0 and 2.0, and three colors: gold, silver and white. When writing, just press down lightly to make the ink flow smoothly.

There are many good brands of highlighters on the market, with the Japanese Sakura brand being the most popular, and the price of a single highlighter is generally around 12 to 15 yuan.
