FACE STROBING

The manufacturer of this decorative cosmetics is the Divage company. The highlighter is presented in the form of a braid of 2 shades in the form of powder. One of which is the highlighter itself, and the second is a powder for fixing. The palette is in a black case with a small mirror on the top lid. The texture of the highlighter is quite soft, it is easily typed on a brush and applied.

I love experimenting with my makeup. I try various novelties and change the looks. To give my skin a radiant look, I decided to use a highlighter. I use a palette from Divaj. I was very impressed with this product, despite the fact that for the price it is a budget option. The highlighter has a pleasant pearl shade, adheres perfectly to the skin and gives a healthy, radiant look. But the powder is suitable only for representatives with fair skin, it will be noticeable on dark skin.

Ideal Cover

The highlighter from the Greek company Seventeen is presented in a single color option (tone 01 - pearl) and is equivalent to concealers. The shade number is indicated on the bottom of the tube. Apply with a small sponge. It is popular with leading cosmetologists and makeup artists due to its mineral particles with reflective properties. There is SPF protection.

Seventeen heard about cosmetics from a sales assistant in the store. Before buying, I decided to study the information on the Internet. Indeed, mostly positive reviews. I decided to buy a highlighter of this particular company. I didn’t regret it at all. I have been using this product for 3 months now and I am happy with the purchase. I would like to note the economical use and easy application. The skin does not dry out, it gives shine. Recommend!

Master strobing

The creamy highlighter is designed as a stick. There are 2 shades in the collection: light mother-of-pearl and beige champagne. Twists out like a regular lipstick. It is applied in 2 ways: typed with a brush or applied directly to the face and shaded with hands. Ideal for strobing makeup. Produced by Maybelline New York.

I have both shades available. In the winter I bought a light shade and used it to mask dark circles under my eyes. I thought it would end quickly, but now half a year has passed, and the stick is not over yet. Closer to summer, it acquired a second shade. I began to emphasize their cheekbones, and highlight the eyes with a light shade. If it is necessary to make the color brighter, I apply it in 2 layers. Unfortunately, it is not enough for the whole day, you have to update it. But for an evening out - this is a great option.

LUMI MAGIQUE

It looks like a felt-tip pen, only instead of a pencil there is a brush. Produced by L'Oreal Paris in 3 shades: light, natural and beige. Has a light moisturizing effect. The brush is soft, does not harm the thin skin under the eyes. A special feature is the presence in the composition of an ingredient called Andersen's Fluid - reflective particles in the form of plates.

I thought for a long time whether I needed this product in my cosmetic bag or not, but still decided to buy it. I chose from several options, since I had never used a highlighter before. I tried a bunch of testers in the store. And here I am the lucky owner LUMI MAGIQUE. I chose it for its beautiful packaging with a metal body, a soft bristle brush, light texture with delicate care and easy application and dispensing. I use it with pleasure.

Miracle glow duo

The manufacturer is Max Factor. Sold in a powder-like case. The word in the Duo name suggests that the highlighter is double. One shade shimmers, gives the skin a radiant look, the other - pearlescent, helps to eliminate imperfections. It is found in 3 variants: tone 10 - light, tone 20 - medium, tone 30 - deep. shades can be used together and separately.

I ordered a highlighter over the Internet. I chose a medium tone. No special skill in use is required. With the help of a cosmetic product, I highlight some of the contours of the face: chin, cheekbones and forehead. And I highlight the eyes with a radiant shade and add additional volume to the lips. I use a brush for application, I don't use it with my hands in order to observe hygiene rules. The only negative is that it does not last long, but rolls down in the sun.

Pink muse cream

The cosmetic company Pupa is developing and producing more and more quality products for the customer. One of these new products is a highlighter with a creamy texture. Although, in fact, the texture is not oily, but, on the contrary, is dryish, soft and silky. The manufacturer has 2 options: shade 001 - luxe gold and 002 - pink muse. Has a vanilla aroma.

I received a highlighter from Pupa from a friend as a birthday present. We were going to have a rest on the sea and I was seriously thinking about what kind of cosmetics to take with me on my trip. The fact.that I am the owner of problem skin with enlarged pores, and not every cream and powder suits me. But this highlighter works wonders. It not only suits, but also externally eliminates imperfections and helps to remove oily sheen, lasts throughout the day. And the packaging was created especially for lovers of beauty in delicate pink shades.

Alliance perfect

The pearl shade gives the skin a natural glow. Another L'Oreal product that buyers choose from all the variety for its quality. Available as a liquid cream. The design of the product attracts - a tube of pale pink color with a silver lid. The thin spout allows you to dispense the amount of the product. The texture is gel, but shaded well.

I have been using this highlighter for a long time and am not ready to change it to another manufacturer. The cosmetics are completely hypoallergenic. The composition contains glycerin and water, which moisturize. With this product I give my skin a radiant look. It lasts perfectly all day and in any weather. I read that it can be used under a foundation. I tried it. In this case, the radiance effect disappears, but the foundation is applied perfectly.
