My Top 5 Highlighters

Hi Guys

Seeing as this years big trend is going to be glowing skin I thought I would share with you my top 5 favourite highlighters.

My top 5 highlighters 

I am starting off with a cult favourite to most beauty lovers, MAC mineralise skin finish in soft and gentle. This is what started my love for highlighting, it was my first MAC product and first high end highlighter. Soft and gentle is great for a subtle highlight, it is a frosted champagne colour with some fine glitter through out, It's a colour that would suit most skin tones from very fair to dark. It wears well throughout the the day and doesn't appear to disappear.  Overall soft and gentle is a great highlighter on most people and well worth the investment for your make up collection.

MAC Soft and Gentle perfect subtle highlight 

Next I have two highlighters from a brand that made it mark in world of strobing and glowing skin last year BECCA.
Becca was definitely at the forefront of the strobing movement we saw at the end of last year and it was all due to their shimmering skin perfectors. I have two of the presssed powder versions  and love that they are so soft and smooth yet pack such a punch in the glow department. The two I have are moonstone and champagne pop (a collaboration with Jaclyn Hill),  Becca have just announced that champagne pop is now part of their permanent range YAY! Both moonstone and champagne pop give you a glow from within look which is right on trend at the moment. Moonstone is a pale yellow/gold colour and champagne pop is a bright peach champagne colour. Moonstone is frosty and has no glitter but champagne pop appears to be a little bit more sparkly although you can't see the glitter. Both of these highlighters are my go to at the moment for the glowing skin trend, I love them.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfectors - so good!!!!

Next I have an Urban Decay naked illuminated shimmering powder in Aura. Now if you love glitter this highlight is for you, its a peachy base with fine gold glitter. I love this for when i'm going out and I really want my highlight to be seen, it is beautiful and I think would like great on pale skin to look more golden. I also love the little brush that comes with it, it allows me to place  it right on top my cheek bones and not all over my face. Also the glitter is so fine and doesn't fall all over my face but just provides a nice sparkle to whenever you place this powder.

I love the sparkle in this one 

Lastly I have some that's a bit different in that it is not a powder but more of a cream and reminds me of the Becca shimmering skin perfecter in opal the liquid version but much cheaper and if you see it highly recommend investing in this product. The Lacura beauty glamour goddess in natural, I got mine from Aldi (yes the supermarket) and I think it was under $10. I mix this in with my foundation to give me a nice dewy glow. I also use it under my foundation to make my highlight pop and give you a really intense glow. You can use this just as a very natural highlight for when you want a very natural look. I love this stuff and if you ever see it in Aldi definitely go buy it and why not try some of their other cosmetics sometimes you find gold if you just look.

Best find ever!

Some swatches for your enjoyment

Special mention while this is not specifically a highlighter I think it deserves a special mention as it makes your skin so glowy. The It cosmetics CC+ illumination full coverage cream is beautiful on the skin and if you love dewy skin you need this foundation in your life. It provides great coverage, feels light weight on the skin and has the best staying power I've seen for a CC cream.

Really good for dewy skin!
