Highlighters

Highlighters are the final touch to my makeup routine to help emphasize the features you want. It can bring forth areas on your face such as your cheekbones and give the illusion you have a bigger pout  by placing it right above the cupids bow. My new favorite highlighter out of the bunch has got to be the RMS Living Luminizer because it's all natural, organic, pure ingredients and a product I really trust. It a very subtle sheeny highlighter that I think is great for everyday. It's not really loud, sparkly or shiny - it just gives your cheekbones a nice glow and makes your face look fresh. I simply use my fingers and I'm good to go!

The other three highlighters I also put on rotation are: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft & Gentle, Benefit Watt's Up and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft & Gentle was the first highlighter I ever bought. I like using it with the Real Techniques Setting Brush because it's the perfect size and shape for dusting over your cheekbones, down your nose and above your cupids bow. This is the only powder highlighter I own and it really just depends on my mood whether or not I want to use a powder or a cream. This highlighter is slightly peachy champagne frosty color that you can really build up. I just like a light sweeping in the areas I want to emphasize.

Benefit Watt's Up is a really easy to use product. This one has a cream to powder formula that is seriously so easy to apply. It gives your cheeks a luminous champagne glow that looks really pretty in the light. Just swipe where you want and quickly blend it in with your fingers. I find this also more subtle and this tiny version is even good for getting under your brow bone.

Finally I also really like the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector because of how subtle the glow is. (Have you noticed I don't like crazy shimmery sparkly highlighters?) I have the shade Opal and the full size version even has SPF 25! This highlighter feels super light and watery on the skin. You don't need much to achieve a beautiful glow from within appearance and you can you this on your face and body! Wherever you want to highlight! You can also use this as a primer or mixed in with your foundation for an all over radiance. This one is also packed with a ton of amazing ingredients: Vitamin A, B, D, E, Avacado Oil, Witch Hazel and Aloe Extract. This is a pretty unique product I highly recommend!

Are you a fan of highlighter?
