Healthy shine: Best summer highlighters
Masha Vorslav
In summer, the hand itself stretches to everything brilliant., and we sincerely believe that at this time you can not be afraid to overdo it with the glow - the main thing is that it does not imitate a greasy shine. To avoid this effect, highlighters (those with an obvious shimmer, and not just light tonal ones) and other highlighting things should be applied not to the whole face, but according to the scheme we described. A shade and the amount of shiny dust can be any - depending on the plans for the day and willingness to pay attention to themselves.
NARS The Multiple Copacabana
Having arrived in Moscow, NARS made make-up lovers a little happier: there will never be a lot of electrically-blue shades, matte lipstick and highlighters of excellent quality with all the diversity of the market. The Multiple is a line of multicolored sticks, and Copacabana is perhaps the most entertaining of all: the indistinct pink-gray tint on the skin turns into what they like to say, the delicate shimmer that these products look for. Sopacabana is also convenient because it can be applied literally without looking - the border is invisible, so even if it is not shaded, there will be no flaw.
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick
One of the most famous highlighters, the “mattress” Bobbi Brown is presented in several versions, differing in shades and color temperature (the coldest one looks like Rose blush, the warmest one is Bronze; limited versions appear periodically). Any Shimmer Brick combines five shades of the same (almost always) in the strength of the shining means, so it can replace several different products. He himself is not new, but the exclusive property of Shimmer Brick to impart that same shine "as in Photoshop" has long been recognized by everyone.
The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer
Funny brand, desperately reminiscent of Benefit loyalty to pink color and pin-up girls, positions Lou Manizer's shiny pucks at the same time as highlighter and shadows - and correctly (about the ability and necessity to use funds not only according to the instructions, we will never be tired of saying never). There are three options: pink, not sticking out Cindy, Bronzer Betty and, finally, cold-golden Mary, which seems to us to be versatile and how catchy you need.
Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer
Stila's shimmering liquid water is poured into a miniature bottle of nail polish (again we recall Benefit with their Benetint liquid blush and Sunbeam bronzer), it should also be applied with a brush. The substance is generously flavored with a shimmer and a pigment, so that if desired it can replace three products: blush, bronzer and highlighter. And All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer also asks to dilute the day cream (like all liquid tint and shiny textures, by the way).
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette
The brand’s highlighters (shimmering blush and powder) are sold one by one, but we were attracted by the set - in large packages there is a charm, especially if they have a Hourglass. There are three shades of powder in the palette: neutral beige, bronze and pearl pink. All three can be applied or on the same areas of the face (so we recommend experimenting with the darkest summer), together or one by one; In general, the Ambient Lighting Palette is a dream of mono-make lovers.
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector
BECCA is the make-up artist Rebecca Morris Williams brand, so there’s no doubt about the quality of the product. BECCA has non-trivial tools and a solid approach to everything - the brand's website has comprehensive descriptions and tips for using each tube, including the Shimmering Skin Perfector. It attracts us with compact packaging with a pump (FTW hygiene), a rare white glow of the Pearl shade and obvious multifunctionality.
Cargo Contour Palette Monaco
A palette for contouring (human, not theatrical, Kim Kardashian) Cargo accommodates a peach rouge dark enough to mark a hollow under the cheekbones, powder, and directly a highlighter. We included the set in the list because we ourselves know how sometimes we don’t want to compose something or not, and we just need to look good - Monaco was created for such moments of indecision.
Jane Iredale Complete In Touch Highlighter
Another highlighter stick, this time is mineral. We love and respect the brand Jane Iredale for the fact that she manages to make cosmetics non-boring - it is the modesty of shades and the ordinaryness of forms that are usually reproached for the producers of "minerals". In In Touch we have chosen the shade has almost imperceptible pinkish tint and soft creamy texture that feels comfortable even on very dry and sensitive skin.
Topshop Sunbeam Highlighter
A standing product in the mass market is less common than in the professional and deluxe segment - at least we are accustomed to think so. Snobbery and pessimism are of little help to anyone, but with low expectations, it is more pleasant to find pearls among the litter, we recognize. We also love democratic brands because their creators are often bolder than their serious colleagues and try out unusual textures, shades and shapes (we can't but remember the Essence mascara of a wonderful lilac shade). Topshop here are not afraid to release the brilliant powder of uncompromising yellow gold - this is still necessary to search.
No7 Skin Illuminator Radiance Boosting Beauty Fluid
Mark No7, another decent representative of the low-cost segment, released a highlighter in a rather rare package - immediately with a brush. Most of all, it resembles NARS liquid highlighters and may well replace them. Let's make a reservation, as in that and in another product spangles were poured from the heart, so that Beauty Fluid is almost the most effective of all in this collection.
