Baked Highlighter: Photo Makeup Tutorial and Product Review

In recent years, baked highlighters have gained popularity among people looking for a radiant, natural glow. These products are made using a special baking technique that gives them a smoother, more intense shimmer, and a silkier texture than traditional highlighters.

Terracotta tiles are coated with liquid or cream makeup, which is subsequently baked gradually. By using this technique, the highlighter can become more pigmented while still feeling lightweight on the skin. Because of this, baked highlighters provide a radiant finish that is simple to build up from a light sheen to a bright, bold highlight.

Making the most of baked highlighters can be facilitated by knowing what makes them unique, regardless of your level of makeup experience. This post will explain the characteristics of baked highlighters and show you how to use them to get the ideal, lit-from-within glow.

Popular makeup products like baked highlighters are renowned for their luminous finish and smooth texture, which are enhanced by a unique baking process. Baked highlighters, as opposed to conventional pressed powders, are baked on terracotta tiles, producing a creamy, blendable formula that gives the appearance of natural, radiant skin. This adaptable product is perfect for highlighting high points on the face in different skin tones, whether you want a subtle shimmer or a more intense highlight.

Baked highlighter: what is it and what is it for?

To refresh your memory, this is a powder product that brightens the skin. It is made, just like baked goods, by heating the composition in a special oven set at 60 degrees Celsius.

At first, the formula consists of a blend of liquid-consistency ingredients and dry pigments; the latter are mostly meant to hydrate and nourish the skin. The mixture is pressed into a powder with marble-like veins when it is taken out of the oven. Baked powder is also appealing due to its lovely texture, but there are more benefits.

Formula

One of the primary characteristics of baked goods is that they nourish the skin. Specifically, they neutralize inflammation and soothe and soften it. That is to say, there is no chance of discomfort with this powder coating.

Texture

The pressed format of a baked product gives it a hard appearance, but when applied to a brush, it becomes a fine powder that applies thinly to the skin and exhibits remarkable durability.

When using a highlighter, you can be certain that the skin will continue to glow throughout the day. About how dependable these products are, by the way, even in the unlikely event that they are dropped unexpectedly, they remain intact and do not shatter or crumble.

How to choose a baked highlighter?

Please pay attention only to whether the product’s texture and color suit your preferences.

By shade

This also makes the theory of color types applicable. Pearly glow highlighters work better on girls with chilly skin tones. The beauty of porcelain skin will be emphasized by its white pearlescent shine. A silver highlighter with a hint of metallic sheen is an additional choice. When trying to "revive" or make their skin appear more youthful, people with a colder skin type will find that a pinkish highlighter works wonders.

Warm skin tones are encouraged to examine highlighters with a golden sheen more closely. But the product shouldn’t be as dark as bronzers; the right shade appears much lighter.

By purpose

Highlighters have demonstrated their ability to be multipurpose tools with a variety of applications. For instance, a common practice is to blend liquid highlighter with foundation to achieve a radiant, youthful, and healthy-looking complexion. However, it is better to use powder highlighter—baked or otherwise—for accent placement.

Powder highlighter is the ideal choice for highlighting your cheekbones, drawing attention to the bridge of your nose, and drawing more definition to the outlines of your eyebrows. Naturally, that is, if you use it skillfully.

The way you apply the highlighter will determine how it turns out.

Highlighting the cheekbones, you will get more sculpted facial features.

Step-by-Step Photo Instructions for Applying Highlighter

1 There are no special tricks here – you need to work with baked highlighter the same way as with any other powder. It is more important to prepare the skin: even out the tone, hide minor imperfections (if they are visible, the shine of the highlighter will not be able to draw attention to itself), create a shadow under the cheekbones using sculpting powder. And in general, makeup can be done almost completely, because highlighter is usually added as the final touches.

Makeup Artist Tips

Use a liquid highlighter, which blends into the skin, for natural everyday makeup.

And powder, baked or otherwise: powder is better suited for formal makeup because its glittering grains will show up on the skin in some fashion. In this video tutorial, we discussed the subtleties of applying highlighter in various formats.

What you shouldn’t do in makeup with highlighter?

1 Apply to the entire face Highlighter is a product that is used in measured doses. Girls who brush their entire face with a brush with shimmering powder risk creating the impression of an oily shine on the skin. In addition, the radiance effect always increases volume. Therefore, highlighter is distributed pointwise – only on those areas of the face that need attention.

A versatile beauty tool that can give your makeup look a radiant glow is a baked highlighter. It is a favorite among many beauty enthusiasts because of its smooth texture and buildable coverage.

In contrast to conventional highlighters, the baking method intensifies the pigments for a longer-wearing, more intense finish. Because of this, it’s a fantastic option for both understated daytime makeup and dramatic evening looks.

A baked highlighter is a great addition to your makeup kit, regardless of your experience level with highlighters. It applies easily, blends in seamlessly, and leaves your skin looking radiant and natural.
