Highlighter is a tool for delicately highlighting certain areas of the face with light. The smallest reflective particles in its composition refresh and give a healthy, rested look. It is able to emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes, visually increase the volume of the lips and make the facial features thinner and more prominent.

There are not too many L'Oréal clarifying modeling products on the Russian market. They have recently entered the range of the brand.Like other products, they are distinguished by high quality, adequate price and stylish packaging. It is not difficult to find highlighters from this most famous French company: they are available both in mega malls and in small cosmetics stores.

The recipe of each product is original and carefully tested. Each year, the firm devotes 3% of its income to research and development, which is a lot, considering that we are talking about billions in profits.

Using cutting-edge technology, the L'Oréal Paris laboratory has created a secret active element that is billed as "concentrated liquid light". The beautiful name - "Andersen's fluid" and the halo of mystery are designed to excite the imagination of buyers. Win-win marketing ploy! The invention is an emulsion with a large number of flat shiny plates, which, like the smallest scales, are very tightly adjacent to each other. This formula reflects the light as evenly as possible and makes the radiance even and strong.

The consumption of the clarifying agent is minimal, so it lasts for a long time. The shelf life of the product in a complete package is several years. But if you have already started using it, then it is reduced to 6-12 months. The manufacturer must indicate this information and the date of manufacture.

It must be remembered that cosmetics must be stored properly and should not be kept in the sun for a long time.Cream, gel and liquid consistency may begin to delaminate if stored at high temperatures or exceed the stated expiration date. Be careful and protect yourself from expired goods that can cause allergic rashes.

The brand produces almost all known types of highlighters: in the form of a powder product, in the texture of a cream and liquid gel. Choose the right one for you:

• Dry pressed powder is ideal for those with oily skin. A box with a mirror and a brush will fit in any handbag and allow you to use the product at any time;
• The gel moisturizes and does not clog pores. It is ideal as a make-up base or as an addition of a dose of light to your day or foundation;
• The cream version is suitable for dry and normal skin. It blends beautifully and even slightly masks imperfections.

Today, the following lines are presented on the Russian market, in which there are brightening agents: True Match, Alliance Perfect and Lumi Magique.

Multifunctional powder "True Match" in two variations is ideal for cold and warm color types. This is a dry highlighter that is applied with a wide brush. Each palette contains complementary shades to sculpt the face and add a pearly glow.

Alliance Perfect Liquid Highlighter (Natural Glow) is a lightweight translucent gel moisturizer suitable for all skin types. The basis of the composition is the purest water and glycerin. Used as a base under foundation or mixed with it, it creates a shimmering veil. It can also be used alone on top of makeup to create a strobing effect - to emphasize the cheekbones and bridge of the nose.

Powder highlighter L'Oreal Paris "Alliance Perfect" came to replace a similar tool line "True Match". It comes in three shades: pearl, pink and gold. The surface of the powder is divided into sectors with different amounts of shimmer and color gradation. They can be mixed by playing in semitones or used separately. The tool combines the properties of blush, powder and highlighter. The packaging has two layers, on the top there is the cosmetic itself, and on the bottom there is a large mirror and a handy brush. On the back you can find the drawing.

Highlighter "Magic of Light" is an interesting 2 in 1 product. It attracts with beauty and convenience - a chic shiny tube that looks like a thick felt-tip pen and a brush inside. The tool is able to lighten dark circles under the eyes and mask small imperfections, that is, it acts as a concealer. The face will immediately become fresh and rejuvenated if light strokes of the brush place light accents in the corners of the eyes, on the back of the nose and the mobile eyelid, as well as around the lips to make them look more voluminous. "Andersen Fluid" in the composition guarantees a delicate natural radiance.

Cream product "Lumi Magique" for make-up technique strobing is packed in a plastic tube with a dispenser pump, which is very convenient to use. In addition, such packaging is the most hygienic. The consistency of the product is between creamy and liquid, without fragrance. Can be applied with fingers or a sponge, it spreads easily over the skin and when blended gives a delicate even shine. Creating a relief face by playing with chiaroscuro with this tool is as easy as shelling pears, especially since it also contains an innovative fluid.

When choosing a product, you need to take into account your skin type: for dry, a liquid version is preferable, for oily, powdery.If you want to place point accents, a cream strobing tool with a brush will be very convenient, but powder will give a natural glow to large areas. Mature dehydrated skin will be revived by a highlighter cream with a moisturizing effect.

Choose shades based on your color type. The beauty of olive skin will be emphasized by peaches, tan will be complemented by bronze and golden, and delicate pink and silver will decorate light porcelain skin. Universal beige is also available in different saturation options, so it will be easy to find your tone. Just remember that the product should be 1-2 shades lighter than your skin.

The basic rules for applying highlighter for sculpting are not that complicated. You need to choose the right tone and prepare your face.

• The tool should match your natural shade and be a little lighter than it;
• It is applied after the foundation. All defects must be masked, otherwise the radiance will only emphasize them;
• Should not be used on the T-zone, it will create the effect of a sweaty face;
• It is necessary to use a clarifier in minimal quantities and shade thoroughly. The main thing is a sense of proportion.

The term "strobe" is consonant with the name of the device "strobe", which reproduces bright light pulses. So this newfangled makeup technique lights up shining accents on the protruding parts of the face. Arm yourself with tools: a brush and a sponge, although many makeup artists note that it is best to use your fingers.

When using the tool, it is necessary to take into account the shape of the face. A round face requires more emphasis on the upper part of the cheekbones. If the eyes are too wide apart, do not accentuate their inner corners.When the face gravitates to the shape of a triangle, then the light glare in the middle of the forehead will be superfluous.

The highlighter is applied to three zones: the forehead, the line of the eyes, nose and cheekbones, the area of ​​the lips and chin. By painting with light in these areas, you can correct the disproportion of the face, hide imperfect shapes and enhance natural beauty. The drawing scheme is as follows:

• We open our eyes - we emphasize the break of the eyebrow from the bottom to the outer tip and put shining dots with a cream tool in the inner corners of the eyes;
• Apply highlighter to the center of the forehead and if it is necessary to visually expand it, then we highlight the side zones and whiskey. If you don’t have bangs, you can emphasize a beautiful high forehead with a barely noticeable glow along the hairline - it’s more convenient to do this with a powdery texture;
• We highlight the cheekbones, marking their highest points. This technique will not only create a chiseled face, but also divert attention from wrinkles, dark circles and tired eyes;
• We make the nose thinner by drawing a line from the bridge of the nose down, but not to the very tip - this can lengthen it;
• We put a point in the supralabial cavity and in the center of the lower lip, and draw a thin line along the upper contour. This will add the desired volume;
• We complete the makeup with a slight highlight on the chin, but very delicately so as not to make this part of the face too protruding and massive.

All applied lines and dots are carefully shaded to a natural, even glow without visible borders.

Customer opinions about the products of the French cosmetic giant are mostly positive. Of course, there are always cases when the remedy did not fit or was chosen incorrectly.But in general, L'Oréal highlighters do an excellent job with their declared functions: they highlight the face, making it embossed and giving a fresh, rested look.
