How to use a highlighter pencil correctly

A concealer pencil is a multifunctional product. It highlights areas of the skin that need to be emphasized, and hides problem areas and wrinkles perfectly. The convenient shape of the compact pencil allows even a beginner to master the correction technique.

Attention! The corrector should be applied to clean skin, after using moisturizer or foundation, but before applying powder.

The highlighter stick has a creamy rather than dry texture. Therefore, it is necessary to shade it using a special brush with artificial bristles. In search of the ideal tone, you can experiment and mix 2-3 shades at the same time.

Options for using highlighter

There are several ways to use the product.

To create an expressive look

In order to make your eyes more “open” and your gaze shining, you should:

• Apply the corrector along the lash line and under the eyebrows;
• Pull the lower eyelid a little and shade it along the inner border;
• blend the strokes above the area under the eyebrows with a brush.

Under the shadows

This tool can also be used for eye makeup. To enlarge them and make your look more expressive, it is recommended:

• “sketch” the entire eyelid with a pencil;
• gently blend the highlighter with patting movements;
• Apply shadows on top in the traditional way.

This procedure allows makeup to be more durable, not to crumble or slide in any weather.

Cheekbone sculpting

To add brightness to your face and make its shape and skin texture flawless, it is enough to highlight your cheekbones. For this:

• draw a clear line along the cheekbones;
• blend it towards the temples.

From fatigue and lack of sleep

Stress, poor sleep and minor health problems create swelling and dark circles. If you cannot eliminate all negativity from your life, and such defects appear, you can hide them. It is enough to take a light-colored product and draw an inverted triangle on the problem area, then smoothly rub it.

For shine

To get the perfect “Greek” profile, just draw a line from the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose. This will give a more subtle and aristocratic look.

Highlight the look
