The formulation of each product is original and thoroughly tested. Each year, the company sends 3% of its revenues to research, and this is quite a lot, taking into account that we are talking about billions of profits.

Using state-of-the-art technology, L'Oréal Paris created a secret active element that is positioned as “concentrated liquid light.” A beautiful name - “fluid Andersen” and a halo of mystery are designed to excite the imagination of buyers. A win-win marketing move! The invention is an emulsion with a large number of flat shiny plates, which, like the smallest scales, are very tight to each other. Such a formula reflects the light as evenly as possible and makes the radiance even and strong.

The consumption of lightening agent is minimal, so it lasts a long time. The shelf life of the product in a complete package is several years. But if you have already begun to use it, then it is reduced to 6-12 months. The manufacturer must indicate this information and the date of manufacture.

It must be remembered that cosmetics should be properly stored and can not be kept in the sun for a long time. Cream, gel and liquid consistency may begin to delaminate if you store the product at high temperatures or exceed the stated shelf life. Be careful and protect yourself from expired goods, which can cause allergic rashes.

Liquid highlighter "Alliance Perfect" (“Natural Radiance”) is a light translucent remedy in the form of a moisturizing gel, suitable for all skin types. The basis of the composition - the purest water and glycerin. If applied with a base under the foundation or mixed with it, it will create a shimmering veil coating. It can also be used separately over makeup to create a strobing - emphasize the cheekbones and back of the nose.

Powder highlighter L'Oreal Paris "Alliance Perfect" has come to replace the similar means of the line "True Match". It is available in three shades: pearl, rose and gold. The surface of the powder is divided into sectors with different numbers of the shimmer and color gradation. They can be mixed by playing in semitones or used separately. The tool combines the properties of blush, powder and highlighter. The package has two layers, the cosmetic itself is located on the top, and a large mirror and a handy brush on the bottom. On the back you can find a pattern of application.

Highlight Magic Light is an interesting 2 in 1 product. It attracts with beauty and convenience - a chic glossy tuba that looks like a thick felt-tip pen and a brush inside. The tool can lighten dark circles under the eyes and disguise small imperfections, that is, performs the role of concealer. The face will immediately become fresh and rejuvenated if light strokes of the brush place light accents in the corners of the eyes, on the back of the nose and the moving eyelid, and also around the lips, so that they look more voluminous. "Fluid Andersen" in the composition ensures a delicate natural glow.

Cream remedy "Lumi Magique" for the make-up technique, the strobing is packaged in a plastic tube with a pump dispenser, which is very convenient to use. Moreover, such packaging is the most hygienic. The consistency of the product is medium between cream and liquid, without fragrance. It can be applied with fingers or sponge, it is distributed over the skin easily and gives a delicate even shine when shading. Creating an embossed face when playing with light and shade with this tool is easier than ever, especially since it also contains an innovative fluid.

When choosing a product, it is necessary to take into account your skin type: for the dry one, the liquid version is preferable, for the oily one - powdery. If you want to place point accents, cream strobing with a brush is very convenient, but the powder will give a natural glow to vast areas. Mature dehydrated skin revitalize the highlighter cream with a moisturizing effect.

Pick up shades, starting from your color type. The beauty of olive skin will be emphasized with peach, the tan will be complemented with bronze and golden, and light pink and silver will decorate the light porcelain skin. Universal beige is also available in different saturation options, so it will be easy to find your own tone. Only you need to remember that the tool should be 1-2 shades lighter than your skin.

The basic rules for applying a highlighter for sculpting are not that complicated. You need to choose the right tone and prepare the face.

• The tool should fit your natural shade and be slightly lighter than it;
• It is applied after the tonal framework.All defects must be masked, otherwise their radiance will only emphasize;
• It should not be applied on the T-zone, it will create the effect of a sweaty face;
• It is necessary to apply the clarifier in the minimum quantities and to carefully shade. The main thing is a sense of proportion.

The term "strobe" is consonant with the name of the device "strobe", which reproduces bright light pulses. So this new-fashioned make-up technique lights up shining accents on the protruding parts of the face. Arm yourself with tools: brush and sponge, although many makeup artists say that it’s best to use your fingers.

When using the tool must take into account the shape of the face. A round face requires a greater selection of the upper part of the cheekbones. If the eyes are too wide apart, their inner corners should not be emphasized. When a face to the shape of a triangle, the highlight of the light in the middle of the forehead will be superfluous.

The highlighter is applied to three zones: the frontal part, the line of the eyes, nose and cheekbones, the area of ​​the lips and chin. By drawing light on these areas, it is possible to correct the disproportion of the face, to hide imperfect forms and enhance the natural beauty. The scheme of application is as follows:

• Open eyes - we emphasize the fracture of the eyebrow from below to the outer tip and put the shining points with the cream remedy in the inner corners of the eyes;
• Apply highlighter in the middle of the forehead, and if you need to visually expand it, then highlight the side zones and temples. If you do not have bangs, you can emphasize a beautiful high forehead with a barely noticeable glow in the hairline - it is more convenient to make a powdery texture;
• We distinguish the cheekbones, marking their highest points. This technique will not only create a chiseled face, but also distract attention from wrinkles, dark circles and tired eyes;
• Making the nose thinner, drawing a line from the bridge of the nose down, but not to the very tip - it can lengthen it;
• We put a point in the nadzhubnaya hollow and in the center of the lower lip, and on the contour of the top we draw a thin line. This will add the desired volume;
• We finish the makeup with a small flare on the chin, but very delicate, so as not to make this part of the face too protruding and massive.

All applied lines and points are carefully shaded to a natural even glow with no visible borders.

Customer opinions about the means of the French cosmetic giant are mostly positive. Of course, there are always cases where the remedy did not fit or was chosen incorrectly. But in general, the L'Oréal highlighters do an excellent job with the stated functions: they highlight the face, making it embossed and give a fresh, rested look.
