The Makeup Breakup: You Light Up My Life

Hello everyone,

I think I may have finally fixed the issue with my camera so hopefully I will have videos up again soon, I know I said it last week, but I'm pretty sure this week I have it fixed.

As the title may imply highlights light you up, they give you that glow, that illusion that your healthy, and well rested even if you aren't. The etherial qualities and softening of the light around the contours of your face can give you that model fresh look.

There are really two different types of highlighting products: creams and powders. Creams are the easiest to apply, as you can generally apply them with your fingers, they have a more pronounced appearence and oftentimes are more pearlized or shimmery than powders. Powders do require a brush, however, they result in a more natural look.

I have a variety of different highlights some pallets, some singles, matte highlights and more shimmery ones, I actually unfortunatly do not have any matte creams, but would totally be open to suggestions on which ones to get.

Powders:

Too Faced Candlelight Powder, M.A.C. Pearlmatte Powders in Flatter Me

Both are multi use highlights, Candlelight can be used as a translucent face powder, and Flatter Me can also be used as a blush.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze:

You've seen it before and you see it again, the top shade of this brick is the most amazing highlight, EVER. soft golden buttery glow, you almost don't even need the rest of the brick.

Sephora Sun Disk:

A complete contouring set, the highlight is a little chalky but overall still a good set.

Coastal Scents 6 Blush Contour Pallet:

Love this pallet, complete matte highlights, very,very natural.

M.A.C. Paint Pots Chilled on Ice:

I do not like Paint Pots for their original purpose, as an eye primer. On the other hand as a shimmery cream highlight? Definatly. Be aware some of the Paint Pots have chunky glitter in them.
