How To Use A Highlighter To Brighten Your Face

by

Highlighters were provided in order to review. Full disclosure here. Highlighters are wonderful make-up tools to use when your goal is a brighter complexion. Highlighters were often used in the past for certain special events. Many times highlighters were applied to models on the runway to catch all the lights. This would create a dramatic effect. Others would wear highlighters for special parties. These were applied to catch the party lights or to look good in spotlights. But, now we’ve learned how well highlights work for everyday. Used with a different application than for a runway model, highlights used in an everyday make-up face can create a brighter, more energetic look. I know that I could use a highlighter to make me look more energetic. The use of highlighters on a young face is obviously going to bring out the youthful beauty and glow of healthy skin. Even those of us who are older can receive a great benefit from the use of highlighters. Most make-up artists recommend using a highlighter that is two shades lighter than your foundation or skin tone. Jolie Beauty has many types and shades of highlighters. Highlighters are not the same as a bronzer or contour. They should be two shades lighter to bring a subtle sheen to cheekbones or other areas of the face. When you are ready to try a highlighter, you should follow the correct steps in applying. After you apply foundation and concealer, then you are ready for highlighting. To get a more natural highlighting look, you’ll want to skip the glittery highlighters. You can purchase a shimmery highlighter that doesn’t contain glitter. If you really want to shine and are going to an event with spotlights, a glittery highlighter will really allow you to shine. But, for a glowing face, you can use the non-glittery highlighter. There are many different places on your face to try highlighting. Cheekbones are probably the most common place to apply highlighter. You would want to add the highlighter to your cheekbones after you have applied the contour and blush make-up. The cheekbones would then shine. To apply the highlighter on your cheekbones it will look much better if you use the correct tools. There are highlighting brushes, but you can also use a blush brush or a kabuki brush. After you get the highlighter on your brush, tap it gently to remove the excess. Then, brush it across your cheekbones. If you need more, just repeat this step. It’s better to start with a small amount. Because you can always add more. Another place to add highlighter is on the bridge of the nose. Often, for a fully made up face, contour will be used to accentuate a certain part of the nose. Other’s use contour to slim the nose. The highlighter would be applied after the contouring step. The key to using highlighter on the nose is to use a very small amount. Highlighter can also be beautiful in the eye make-up area. One place to brighten the eyes with highlighter is the inner corner of the eye. After your other eye make-up is applied, highlighter can be added just outside of the inner eye. On the skin next to the inner eye, use a eyeshadow make-up brush to apply a small brush stroke. Using highlighter here can really make your eyes pop! Then, take the same eyeshadow brush and add a swipe of highlighter on the brow-bone. This can make the eyes appear more wide-open and will add that little touch of shimmer. Enjoy experimenting with highlighters, and have a wonderful time like I have with cosmetics from Jolie Beauty. @2020, copyright Lisa Ehrman

Eye Make-Up Tips For The Holidays

Disclosure: Sponsored post. See full disclosure here. Even if you’re sharing the holidays with your loved ones on Zoom of Face-Time, you’ll want to look your very best. And, if you’re attending any holiday parties, you’ll want to have a dazzling eye look. This is the time of year to have a little more dramatic eye look. There are a few things to consider when you are deciding what type of eye makeup you will use for your holiday events. Your Age What looks dramatic for a 25 year-old may make a 55 year-old lady appear a little clown-like. So here are some tips to remember. For parties, young ladies will be able to wear a more shimmery shadow palette and older ladies may want to add shimmer with a more neutral shade. All ages of ladies will want to select a palette with complimentary colors or shades of all one color. Select an eye liner that works with your color palette or just use black for a more dramatic look. Black mascara is always elegant, but a colored mascara will really make your eyes ready to party. Sometimes it’s better for older women to not use eyeliner on the bottom lid. If you have a lot of wrinkles around the eyes, the heavy eyeliner can just accentuate the wrinkles. For a classic look, just skip the bright colors and use neutrals, but add a little more shadow. Having the Right Tools It’s important to have the right brushes when you’re applying eye makeup. Investing in a good set of brushes will be so helpful when you want to create a dramatic look. Some brushes are better for creating angles instead of just a little sponge applicator that comes in your eye shadow kit. You’ll need the following brushes for basic eye makeup application: basic brush, angled brush, and blending brush. To make your lashes look more full you’ll want to have a lash curler. To protect your delicate skin on the eye-lids and underneath your eyes it’s important to have a good moisturizer and primer. Having a moisturizer made for the eye area will help to prevent any skin irritation. An eye makeup primer will make your makeup last longer and it just provides a good foundation. Steps To Apply Eye Makeup Putting on your eye makeup works better if you follow these steps: Moisturize your entire face Apply primer and blend Apply under-eye concealer Apply foundation for the entire face and blend Apply your medium – dark eyeshadow shade in the eyelid crease. Brush from outer edge to inner Apply a shimmery shade eyeshadow on the lid and blend Curl your eyelashes Apply eyeliner Mascara Brows: brush brows in place and use brow pencil to make brows look thicker (or to add shape) Before the event, you may want to experiment and test out different color combinations to find your favorite look. Then, enjoy dressing up and looking great for the holidays! @2020, copyright Lisa Ehrman

Reveal Glowing Skin With True Botanicals Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub

Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub

Disclosure: Product received for an honest review. Affiliate link is included. Full disclosure here. I’m so glad to be able to bring you the newest beauty product from True Botanicals: True Botanicals Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub! And, it couldn’t have arrived at a better time. My rough, dry skin is so dull and looks sad. I’m really tired of putting moisturizer and seeing nothing improving. My face really needs help. Have you ever used a sugar scrub on your face? I have used a few scrubs in the distant past, but they would usually leave my face red and irritated. Who needs that? Not me. So, I was extremely excited to try a trusted brand like True Botanicals. I have loved all of their products! What does the Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub do? It sloughs dead skin cells which cause the skin to look dull. What remains is smooth, glowing skin. With all the dry air in the winter months our skin just gets more dry. This won’t help us to have a glowing complexion. It’s hard to apply make-up over dry, dull skin. It leaves a made-up face that looks older. Because the scrub contains Organic Sugar and Plant-derived Glycerin, we can feel good about using it on our fragile facial skin. This enables the product to remove the dry skin without stripping away the healthy skin. This makes it great, because I’m not going to be left with skin irritation. The Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub is enriched with emollient Essential Fatty Acids that protect our skin. Our skin barrier protects us from absorbing toxins, allergens, and chemicals. Having Essential Fatty Acids will help to support that skin barrier and nourish the skin. When I opened the beautiful jar of Sugar Scrub, I noticed the very faint scent. It doesn’t have perfumes. The ingredients include organic sugar, sandalwood, rich camellia, jojoba oils and kaolin clay. The scent comes from an essential oil blend of orange peel, cedarwood, and sandalwood. You’ll love the scent. This product is made to use all over your body. When I tried it, I put some on my face. All I had to do was spread it on the area to scrub, and gently rub it around. Then, wash it off with warm water. My skin felt so smooth afterwards! Now, I’ll be using it all over to reveal that new, glowing skin. This is a wonderful way for those of us who are a little older to bring out fresh, younger looking skin. It also smells like a luxury spa! Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub is a great pampering resource and I highly recommend it to all of my readers. @2020, copyright Lisa Ehrman
