Highlighter! The most underrated makeup!
December 8, 09
Remember when you were taking notes in class or reading a book and the one thing you needed more than anything was a highlighter? Why? It brings out what you want to feature.
Same goes with makeup.
I think highlighter is perhapst he most underrated makeup product. With soft golden hues and a sheen of sparkle, it can bring out your best features, open your eyes, add a youthful freshness to your skin, and give you that dewy runway look that is timeless and chic. See how dewy!
By the way, this is Lisa, one of the Purple Lab "multi-tasking mavens"
Purple Lab’s is called Luxury Squared. It’s a duo with a color correcting under-eye concealer but I’ll get to that later. The highlighter is infused with beauty treatment ingredients so you get the benefit of the perfect glow: fine particles of silk bind moisture to the skin; Vitamin E is an antioxidant that brightens and fights free radicals; Algae firms and tightens and silica smoothes.
How to use?
1. A swipe under the brow, especially the outer brow, opens your eyes and enhances the shape of the brown. See how it looks on Lisa, below.
See how the highlighter under the brow adds glimmer?
2. Dab the pad of the ring or pinky finger in the highlighter and tap it on the corner of your eyes, by the bridge of the nose. This literally takes years off - the makeup artist trick of all tricks.
3. Use it as a full on liner – it has a hippie, boho downtown cool look I love.
4. Blend in with blush (cream blush, ideally) so that it really makes the cheek bones pop. I know Lisa has naturally amazing ones, but the highligher takes it to a new level.
Gawww-Jussss!
5. Think outside the box face! Going out at night in something sleeveless – use it on the shoudlers! Showing some leg, slide some up the line of your shin to make your calf muscle stand out!
Highlight away and people will take note!
Mwah!
