Benefit High Beam and Mac Vanilla Pigment are the ones that I use !!

I also have this loose blush powder I picked up from Bombay like 5 years back… from Lakme… it super super shiny and such a cute pink !!! I only ever use coz im so afraid it will get over!! So I use it as a highlighter over my blush. Will take a pic of it and post tom.

M , check out this video. I just looove her makeup. Its so dewy.

Thanks, Payal. Watching the video now! And I’d love to see that powder from Lakme! Is it sheer or shimmery?

**I love you, M. You’re such a makeup whore. **Highlighters are tricky, I haven’t found one that’s not OL with glitter. What do you think of the MAC MSFs? Worth it? I’ve got my eye on Soft & Gentle, but being lazy about makeup I feel guilty buying stuff and then not using it. It’s like a bad relationship - I chase for the thrill, only to lose interest when it’s in my possession. Hoarders, unite.

Best. Compliment. EVER.

And dont worry, I am like that with makeup too at times. I lust after something so bad and once I finally get it, it doesn’t get used as often as I’d like. >.< As for MAC MSFNs, I don’t have one but I did try Soft & Gentle once and found it to be very pretty but NOT an everyday-ssubtle highlighter. And highlighters are SO MUCH FUNNNNNN! What kind of a brush do you use? What’s your skin tone?

You know, if you’re just looking to start off a subtle highlighter you can use your fingers to apply a light eyeshadow. Do you have the Naked Palette? Virgin (the lightest shade) makes a gorgeous highlighter that you can test out with. And if you find powder highlighters to be too tricky, check out cream/liquid highlighters which hardly contain glitter but rather uber-refined shimmer. MAC does Color Cream Bases in Hush or Pearl for example that would work as an unfussy highlighter which isn’t tricky at all.

I love highlighters so much I made my own by pressing various loose pigments (MAC, Armani and Laura Mercier) together and it came out to this subtle slightly frosty pink which looks very natural on.
