My Top 3 Highlighters!

13/5/2016

0 Comments

 

​There is nothing quite like a good highlighter to give you that youthful, healthy, sun-kissed radiance – it really can take years off of you!
 
For anyone who is looking for an immediate pick-me-up for their skin, and not sure where to start, then keep reading to learn how give yourself that sun-kissed look without the sun!
 
So I am bringing you, not one, but three of my favourite highlighter make-up products that I reach for the most at the moment and just cannot live without! 

All three can be placed onto the high points of the face, where the sun would naturally hit, such as the bridge of the nose, brow bone, cheekbones and cupid’s bow.
 
I have placed all three products on the skin, and they are numbered 1-3 below.

1. Mac Mineralize Skinfinish ‘Soft & Gentle’
Even if the sun is refusing to play ball with us, you can still get that summery sun-kissed glow with one of my fav powder highlighters - Mac Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft & Gentle'.

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft & Gentle', £24.00rrp
​This is a luxurious shimmery powder with a 77-Mineral Complex and Vitamin E, which adds highlights to both the face and body.

​A little goes a long way with this product! Therefore, less is more when applying it to the skin, and you should ensure it is well blended to give a natural, glowing finish to the skin. This product comes in a variety of shades, but I find ‘Soft & Gentle’ to be the perfect shade, as it suits most skin tones.​

​One of the best brushes to apply powder highlighter with is the angled blush/contour brush.

If you do not have this brush in your makeup bag, then I would highly recommend it!

​As it is great for applying not just highlighter, but also powder blusher [the clue is in the name!], as well as powder contouring products.

In addition to placing this lovely powder highlighter on bridge of the nose, brow bone, cheekbones and cupid’s bow, I often place it on the inner corners of the eye and even on the eyelid for some added shimmer. It is such a fab, flexible product - I love it!
​2. Illamasqua​ Gleam
​Illamasqua​'s Gleam works wonders for achieving a healthy, summer glow.

This is a light, shimmery cream highlighter, which subtly reflects the light, illuminating your skin. It contains ingredients such as skin boosting Vitamin E and Mica Mineral.

This cream highlighter works perfectly under foundation and is applied after your moisturiser. It can also be used on the body for added shimmer and glow.

Illamasqua Gleam, 'Aurora', £22.00rrp
​It can be a little tricky to apply due to its thick consistency and highly pigmented & shimmery formulation.

Therefore, I find the best way to apply it is by buffing it on the back of your hand first with a flat foundation brush and then apply it to the skin with the brush.

This highlighter comes in two shades, 'Aurora' and 'Supernatural'. I would recommend the Aurora shade for pally wally skin like mine, and Supernatural for darker complexions.
3. Mac Strobe Cream  
​Mac’s Strobe Cream is a moisturising cream, which contains iridescent particles that illuminate the skin, giving it a beautiful, subtle pink shimmer. It also contains nourishing vitamins and antioxidants.  Compared to Illamasqua's Gleam and Mac's Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft & Gentle', the Strobe Cream gives more of a dewy finish versus a sun-kissed glow, due to its pink colour.

​Similar to Illamasqua’s Gleam, it too can be placed under your foundation using a flat foundation brush, and after your moisturiser.

These are must-have highlighter products for your make-up bag this summer!
