Re: skin illuminators?
Farrah- MAC Strobe can be mixed with your foundation to give your skin a bit of a glow. The effect is ok, nothing major. Ask MAC for a sample so you can test it on your skin to see if it reacts.
I have high beam and am not a big fan of it as a highlighter- as it's a liquid, i find it disappears into my dry skin. I prefer to use a powdered highlighter.
BTW, be aware of using illuminators or light reflecting make up if you are going to be photographed (bridal etc) as photos may come out a bit ashy!
