HIGHLIGHTER ... ROZJASNOVAC

Mile Damy, Dear Ladies... 

(English is in blue italic font)

Cim dalej tym viac z vas sa ma pyta na rozne typy a rady ako sa skraslit. Chcem vam tymto dat este viac priestoru. Ak mate akekolvek otazky tykajuce sa make-upu alebo nejakych kozmetickych produktov, posielajte mi ich prosim na tuto emailovu adresu sophiabrad.makeup@gmail.com alebo ich piste do komentov pod ktorykolvek z mojich clankov. Taktiez rada privitam typy na nove clanky. 

Minuly tyzden som sa zucastnila velmi zaujimaveho a prelomoveho projektu v Budapesti, o ktorom vam coskoro prezradim viac. Jedna z ucastnicok tohto projektu mi vnukla napad na novy clanok. Chcem vas oboznamit so svetom rozjasnovacov - emulzii, pudrov a gelov, ktore pri spravnej aplikacii vedia vycarit neskutocne veci. Vasa plet dokaze vyzerat o roky mladsie, cerstvo a stavnato! 

More and more of you are asking me for tips and advice on how to use certain products or how to create different make-up looks. I want to help you as much as possible and be able to answer all your questions. So if you have any questions I haven't written a blog about please make sure you email me to sophiabrad.makeup@gmail.com or comment on any of my posts. Also if you have any suggestions on new posts, please do not hesitate to share them with me (either in email or in a comment). 

Last week I participated in a very interesting and groundbreaking project in Budapest, Hungary. I intend to share it with you shortly ;) One of the girls on this project has been asking for make-up tips and she influenced me in today's post topic which is highlighter - liquid, powder or gel. Highlighters are a great tool and if you know how to apply them properly they can make you look years younger and leave your skin looking fresh and dewy! 



Takze ako aplikovat rozjasnovac? Rozjasnovac (ako to uz z nazvu vyplyva) pouzivame na rozjasnenie pleti. Aplikujeme ho na miesta kde ma najvacsiu sancu odrazat svetlo - Celo, stred nosa, vrch licnych kosti, pod obocie, oblast spankov, pod nos - nad pery, a bradu (vid obrazok).

So where do we apply the highlighter? As it's clear from its name you use it to highlight areas of your face. You apply it on the areas that are most likely to reflect light - top of the cheekbones below the eye, bridge of the nose, temples, forehead, brow bone, cupids bow and chin (see pic below)

Na trhu su rozne formy rozjasnovacov, 
There are many forms of highlighters available on the market these days: 

Tekuty rozjasnovac / Liquid highlighter

Revlon Skinlights





Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer





Benefit High Beam
 Gosh Liquid Highlighter

MAC Gloss Creme Brillance




Pudrove rozjasnovace / Powder highlighters


Rimmel 014 Winter Glow


 Essence Sun Club - All over shimmer for blondes (skvely pretoze mate vyber z viacerych farieb v jednom produkte, great because you have a variety of colours in one product

Essence Shimmer Powder



Catrice Highlighting Powder 

Lancome - Blush Highlighting powder

Moj najoblubenejsi rozjasnovac nieje ani tekuty ani pudrovy ale vo forme kremoveho tiena - je od MAC a vola sa gloss Creme Colour Base v odtieni Shell ;) 

My most favourite highlighter isn't liquid or powder but a creme one - Creme Colour Base in Shell from MAC ;) 


Ked si stale nieste iste ci by na vas rozjasnovac dobre vyzeral alebo momentalne si ho neviete dovolit, skuste na miesta kde by ste rozjasnovat aplikovali, aplikovat vazelinu (alebo balzam na pery - nejaky z tych lesklejsich napriklad labelo, alebo nejaky balzam v tube)

If you're still not convinced that you want a highlighter or you can't afford it, try to apply good old Vaseline where you would apply the highlighter and check yourself out ;) 






Vase licka sa vam v zime odvdacia (a budu vyzerat stavnato az k nakusnutiu) ked do nich bruskami prstov vklepete farebny balsam na pery a dodate im krasny lesk a zaroven hydrataciu ;) Skuste ceresnove Labello Fruit Shine Cherry ;) 

Your cheeks will look irresistible and hydrated and will tempt the guys to kiss them if you use your fingertip to dab a fruity lip balm on them. Try Labello Fruity Shine Cherry ;) yumm 



Dufam, ze som vam dala nejake nove napady a inspiracie. Ako som pisala, budem rada ked sa zapojite a poslete mi nejake otazky, ktore potom na blogu zverejnim a odpoviem na ne ;) Dakujem, ze ste si precitali aj tento clanok a budem sa tesit na vase otazky Damy ;) 

I hope I gave you some good tips or inspirations. And as I mentioned I will be very happy if you email me your questions. I will answer them right here on the page ;) Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you ladies ;) 

XOXO SOPHIA
