Highlighter Collection

For someone who very rarely uses highlighting products, I have more than my fair share of them. After a recent clean out of my makeup, these are the ones that survived:

I'm not gonna lie, the main reason I purchase highlighters is for the packaging/pretty patterns embossed into the powder. Lame, I know but I can't help myself.

1st Row: MAC Shell Pearl, MAC Pearl Blossom, MAC Pearl Sunshine

2nd Row: MAC By Candlelight, MAC Lightscapade

L-R: MAC Truth & Light, Guerlain Cruel Gardenia

Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel

Of all these powders, I would say that MAC's magically Cool Liquid Powder in Truth & Light is my most used highlighter. As you can see in the photo below it also has the most subtle effect with an almost translucent base infused with tiny little 'glitter' particles, I guess.

L-R: Truth & Light, Lightscapade, By Candlelight, Shell Pearl, Pearl Sunshine, Pearl Blossom, Cruel Gardenia, Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel. 

The swatches are obviously done very heavily and so when used on the face, they aren't as powdery as they look above and there is little colour pay off.

I don't particularly like using highlighters on an every day basis because I have somewhat oily skin and I find highlighters can emphasis this so I mainly use them if I'm going out at night.

Well that's all for now. Have a great day and I hope to post again soon :)
