HIGHLIGHTER

Highlighters for a fresh and luminous complexion

The highlighter, also called an illuminator or complexion illuminator, gives your face radiance and shine.

After applying your foundation, the highlighter is placed in very specific areas, in order to reflect the light and display a glowing complexion.

Highlighters are suitable for all skin types and tones. Our professional range of highlighters will allow you to be radiant wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.

What texture should I use for a highlighter?

The highlighter is a complexion illuminator available in liquid, cream, or powder version.

Powder highlighters are particularly recommended if you have combination or oily skin. They will illuminate your complexion while controlling any shine.

Dry skin will appreciate the creamy textures which have greater moisturising effects.

How do I choose a highlighter shade?

Highlighters are formulated with flat pearls that reflect light, but don't shimmer. The finish is therefore natural and very fresh.

Fair skin is highlighted with a pink champagne or golden champagne highlighter.

Olive and dark skin tones are enhanced by applying a rosy copper or golden copper highlighter.

All these fresh and luminous shades are available with the MAKE UP FOR EVER liquid highlighter.

Creating successful strobing effects with a highlighter

Have you heard of strobing effects? It is a makeup technique that aims to create a fresh and luminous complexion in just a few strokes.

You are probably already familiar with contouring, which sculpts the face by accentuating its shaded areas. Strobing is the opposite!

We look to illuminate those areas of the face that spontaneously reflect the light, in order to highlight its lines. The result is very natural.

For successful strobing effects, you firstly need to apply your usual make-up. Choose a foundation adapted to your complexion, then use a concealer to camouflage small skin imperfections.

Then apply your highlighter to the middle of the forehead, the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and the cupid's bow of the mouth (the rounded part in the heart, above your upper lip).

Blend your highlighter with a sponge or fine brush, so that it blends into your skin for a natural finish.

Finish your face make-up with a loose powder or fixer.

Essential accessories for applying your highlighter

If you like to apply makeup to your face with a brush, choose a flat one that is smaller than the one used for applying foundation. It allows for clear and precise application of the highlighter.

Highlighters also spread very well with a sponge. You can easily work the product in until your complexion is luminous and radiant.
