Where do I begin? Most of you know I am obsessedddddddddddd with highlighters!!! Its my favorite makeup product to use. I actually collect them. Nothing I enjoy more then glowing, it gives such light to the face and brings out your features. I was never a fan of matte looks. Even when it was "in" a couple of years ago, I always wore highlighters. Bring on the DEWWWW hunnyyyy. I'm also expecting another highlighter that was recommended by a friend but its not listed in the photos. Its the Becca shimmering skin powder highlighter in "Opal". Will do an updated review on it when it arrives. Ok back to the ones listed. One of my first favorite highlighters is Mac "Whisper of Gilt". Its a bright golden shade. I used to wear it alllllll the time, before I discovered Estee Lauder "Heat Wave". "Heat Wave" is like "Whisper of Gilt" on crack. They're almost identical in color, but "Heat Wave" is more pigmented. I've had the Mary Lou Manizer for a while and never used it, somehow I ended up losing then seen it on a friend and repurchased it. Its a gorgeous highlight and it adds a champagne golden glow. If you like pink or peachy tones, Mac "Superb", and "Lightscepade" are great options. If you prefer more of a silvery highlight then Mac "Soft and Gentle" would be essential. My newest discovery is the Diorskin Nude Tan Transat Edition. It might even be more pigmented then Estee Lauder's "Heat Wave", which is SHOCKING. I didn't even think that was possible considering "Heat Wave" is incredibly pigmented, but the Dior one might be my new favorite. The only bad news is its limited, I know I know I am always wearing products that are discontinued but unfortunately those are the best ones. The Dior highlighter was part of their Summer collection. I do also like the Charlotte Tilbury Scult and Highlight compact, the sculpt shade isn't dark enough for me but the highlight is beautiful. Its not as strong as the others but still offers a really soft golden glow.
(In order from Left to Right)
Estee Lauder "HEAT WAVE" (Limited Edition)
Charlotte Tilbury "FILMSTAR BRONZE AND GLOW"
Mac "WHISPER OF GILT" (Limited Edition)

Love the Mary-lou-manizer, but now i want to try the mac ones too. Too pity that most of them are limited edition, so it's even harder to buy them in Estonia.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing love! Im a sucker for highlighters, I hve a combination skin I get really oily on my T zone area but that doesnt stop me from wearing a dewy look ALWAYS! I have been collecting highlighters like nobody's business lol The estee lauder heat wave. Now im going to hunt the Dior one since its LE. On a side note Mac daddy from instagram will be releasing his diamond glow powders soon, I have a feeling they will be The BOMB!! ����
ReplyDeleteOMG you're going to LOVE the Becca
ReplyDeleteHighlighter! I have it in Opal & Rose Gold! Loving your blog, gorgeous! ❤️
My question for you is what brush do you use for your highlight? I have such dry skin so I never feel like things stick well enough on me. I use moisturizer, primer, Armani luminous foundation and a little MUFE HD microfinish powder to set then do contour, blush, highlight. Do you have any suggestions for what might help? I use a Sigma F05 brush typically to do my highlight. I am so curious what you use because your glow is always so on point!
ReplyDeleteI have been following you for years and you were one of the makeup artists who really inspired me to do what I love most. You are always perfection and inspire me daily with my work. : )
I can't wait for your review on the becca highlighter. I need a good highlighter asap. I've been doing my research, and thought of the becca one in opal too. Thanks for these reviews. And yeah too bad the best ones are limited edition. :/
ReplyDeleteI have becca in opal. It's stunning you will love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteFinally received my package today can't wait to try it!
DeleteLove the blog post, on point as usual! :). Do you know or does anyone else know of any upcoming beauty/fashion blogger events coming up in the LA or NY area?? I live in Georgia and there's never anything happening here :(
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing the Charlotte Tilbury one for a year now! I will try mac first! Thankyou!!
ReplyDeleteWell correction now Charlotte sells in the US I saw recently.. I think thats why I didnt really pay attention to her products as closely. She is one of my favorites..

ReplyDeleteI love silvery highlighters and wasn't aware which one of MACs to get as there is so much choice, think I'll try 'Soft and Gentle'. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of dew! I wear highlighter even with no foundation. They're the best. I haven't tried any of the ones you listed but when I run low on my discontinued Mary Kay bronzers/highlighters I will!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried Nars Albatross?
ReplyDeleteYes I have, its too white and chalky looking

ReplyDeleteAmrezy you need to try Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in opal. I absolutely love it!!! P.S. I love all your posts on Instagram and because of you I've tried so many products that I never would've tried. I also started using Armani Luminous Silk foundation...it's my fav ������
