What is highlighting powder

Highlighting powder is a multifunctional product for highlighting the skin of the face. It has a light texture, applies perfectly and hides minor imperfections and errors. Reflective particles shimmer and create the effect of incredibly healthy and beautiful skin. The weightless texture allows the product to be easily applied and invisible.

What is highlighting powder and its benefits?

This cosmetic product differs from a regular highlighter in its crumbly structure. Its task is to obtain a flawless skin texture without excessive glitter and mother-of-pearl. Moreover, the powder works to highlight certain areas of the face.

If the skin does not have significant defects, redness, or deep wrinkles, then powder will be quite enough. Some makeup artists use both products at the same time.

Reference. To create intense evening makeup, use a highlighter first, and fix the effect with a highlighter powder instead of the usual compact one.

In traditional use, it is applied at the very end.However, if necessary, you can apply a little more product to certain areas. This will help make them more expressive and textured. Most often, layering is applied to the cheekbones.

The main advantages include:

1. Unique fine grind. This allows for a thin layer application and looks very natural. This type of concealer will become indispensable in the summer or in a warm room, when the skin simply cannot withstand a thick layer of makeup.
2. Economical. The product is consumed very economically and produced in large volumes. One package, even with daily use, can last for 1.5–2 years.
3. The texture of the product creates a very pleasant feeling on the skin.
4. The shimmering particles look as natural as possible and shimmer in the sun.
5. Application is carried out using a brush with natural bristles.

Advice. For powder you can use absolutely any brush. However, it should be remembered that the larger its diameter, the thinner the application layer will be. And vice versa, the smaller the brush, the denser the product will lie on the skin.

How to use highlighting powder: application rules

First of all, it is worth noting that there are two versions of the product: crumbly and pressed. In compact form or in the form of balls.

The highlighter is used after setting the makeup with ordinary powder. That is, it is considered the fixing stage of makeup.

The product should be applied to the following areas:

• the back of the nose and its tip;
• convex part of the zygomatic arch;
• area under the eyebrow;
• notch on the upper lip;
• inner corners of the eyes.

Reference. If a girl is wearing an outfit with a deep neckline, you can apply shimmering glitter to her collarbones. This will add charm and charm.

What effect can you create with highlighting powder?

The product, due to its light texture, does not give the same effect as a regular cream corrector. However, it also evens out the tone, prolongs the life of the makeup and creates a very attractive look.

The dry product can be applied immediately after foundation or after ordinary compact powder. Its main task is not to even out the tone of the face, but to decorate it.

In recent years, the biggest trend in makeup is naturalness. This decorative powder fully meets all the requirements of modern make-up. It creates a natural, amazing shine and emphasizes the dignity of the face.
