Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
I find that Glissade MSF gives a very nice glow: this is the only MSF I have and I really like it! I also have the Bobbi Brrown Shimmer Brick Compact in Beige and again, it's a very good highlighter but it has more shimmery effect than the MSF (it can be use as e/s and on top of lipsticks too, it is super versatile). Otherwise I just bought a very nice CCB that called Fawntastic (I looove the name  ) and I use it to give some nice highlights on the apples of the cheeks and on the browbone. It's a beautiful light shimmery beige, I think it's a must have among the CCB!

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
I hve oily skin so I tend to avoid some of the more glowy/sparkley products, but I use TBS Tinted Glow Enhancer and Bare Minerals Clear Radiance on my cheekbones as a highlight.

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
Valerie Beauty Finishing Powder: a 50/50 mix of Halo and Satin Sun (recommended by lovely lady on here)
Lune Blushcreme
Say Yeah! e/s applied with BE's baby buki
Gold dusk piggie
and of course my MSF's
Though I love Lightscapade,..I dont really use it as a highlighter but I find that it works more like my Guerlain Meteorites,..it really balances my skintone into a flawless china doll look. I take both NC and NW20.

I love all the new Clinique shimmering tones powder. I have the peach one now and it looks great used with a light hand. It just gives a dewey bronzed look.

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
shimmertime piggie mixed with prep+prime spf 50 - it's so good and unobvious- otherwise i use shy angel blush or nacked lunch e/s for my face . foe my eyes i use crystal avalance and phloof! 
I do like MSFs but they are a little too glittery for daytime .
sun- something(forgot the name /lure collection i believe) pearl beauty powder is a good brozer for me.

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
I use 3 products at random : MAC pearl blossom, Chanel Pink Cloud or Clinique Shimmering Tones. Depends on my mood lol ! Chanel is more for going out though, because if i'm not carefull, i kinda end up looking like a disco ball! Not a look a like for school or work hehe

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
Would New Vegas work as a highlighter on someone very pale cool toned? I'm wondering if I need it.
Is shimpagne similar to lightscapade in texture?
Northern Lights MSF was a huge disappointment for me because it was a warm corally dark pink that looked really ruddy on me. I'm now clutching lightscapade all the closer.

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
WnW AOS was always a favorite of mine, although the shimmer could sometimes be a little too chunky for your large pored friend here
Milani Shimmer Stripes in California Glow I have really liked, it gives such a wonderful slight sunkissed glow.
Physicians Formula Baked Cocoa & PoP Blushing Nude sort of do the same thing

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
yes, me again...
http://www.aromaleigh.com/
I was checking their sales this week & they have both a luminescence powder on sale, AND a pearlizer type powder that has a lot of shades, including some very light non-pinks. Great price, and I love their powder eyeshadows.

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
I have recently bought Benefit 10... highlighter and bronzer in one for cheekbone definition and omigod its amazing!!
The highlight is uber pale and so beautifully light touch, and even though i don't do bronzer as a rule, I put this on (it goes on in stripes) over my blusher then blend it gently with a big fluffy brush and wow... It works on cleavage as well, I was wearing a top with a deep v the other week and I gave my non existant cleavage a bit of a boost.
I am converted to the ways of highlighter....

Becca's Pressed Shimmer Powder in Nymph is absolutely gorgeous - I use it for cheekbone & eyebrow highlighting - it's not chunky or glittery, just a smooth & gorgeous subtle shimmer...perfection!

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
I bought Chanels Blanc Universal and I am in love.
I've been using it under my normal foundation (Select spf15) and it is fantastic. My skin looks airbrushed and glowing and even makes my freckles and dark circles way less obvious. I'll have to use it for another week at least to make sure I don't break out - but I haven't so far! Woo hoo!

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
^ You're referring to the one in white, right? As far as I know, there's also a Bronze Universal IIRC... but anyhow, I LOVE BLANC UNIVERSEL! It acts as a great base with long lasting power.  I'm only living off a sample, though when I have $$, I will think about purchasing the full tub.

Re: Porcelain Beauties: Highlighters/ Products to give you that "GLOW"
Shimpagene looks like a bronzer on me and Pink opal Piggie look super pink, when i once applied it on my eyes (as a highlight-yah right!) My BH asked me if i cried LOL ...so pale beauties beware, in daylight it's pretty pink!

I've been pretty pleased with shimmertime pigment. Shimpagne looks like a bronzer on me too (someone above said the same thing!).
