Cosmetics, Beauty / fond de teint en stick | | English term or phrase: lowlight | Bonjour,
j'ai un problème avec le terme "lowlight" dans la phrase suivante :
"this new-generation foundation makes it easy not only to match virtually every skin tone, but also to achieve precise highlight and lowlight effects by applying several different shades.
S'agit-il ici de "créer des effets de lumière en appliquant différentes teintes" ?
Un grand merci pour votre aide ! |

| | estomper | Explanation:
Highlight = mettre en relief, lowlight = estomper, atténuer.
“Low lighting or otherwise called shading is to use a color that is one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone,” says Sheetal Mehta. This process is to give a neat sharpness and definition to your natural bone construction. Yet again, the base color of your products or items should be similar to the base color of your natural skin tone.

Nathalie : Comment estomper un maquillage, autour des yeux, pour que les couleurs ne soient pas vives ? Comment donner un effet "pastel" ? Je maquille mes paupières au pinceau, mais en général, il faut attendre la fin de la journée pour obtenir l'effet "estompé" que je souhaite !
