Highlighting shades
What's everyone using on brow bone to highlight? I have Ricepaper and Sunday Best but need a couple more ideas.

Do you find Nylon to be too frosty and light on darker skintone? I've never used it on myself or anyone else.

Re: Highlighting shades
I have fallen in love with Bisque as a brow highlight. It's matte so it looks more natural. It's so perfect for me.

Re: Highlighting shades
I'm finding that many shadows I used to use for highlighting were just too frosty, so I've recently fallen in love with using NC42 Studio Finish Concealor <3333! Goes well with everything. Not to mention it makes my eyebrows look like perfection.
On the eyeshadow side:
Whistle
Cloudbound
Vanilla pigment and eyeshadow
Shroom
Fairylite pigment
I am NC50 by the way.

Re: Highlighting shades
NW40 Studio Finish Concealer with the 252 brush. It's becoming very classic.
Also, try Motif, you'd be surprised how Hot that is on brown skin! Woodwinked is nice too.

Re: Highlighting shades
I'm not a fan of Shroom, I think it's a little too shimmery, and not very good for Asian skin. I use Grain and love it!

Re: Highlighting shades
Phloof is my #1! It's very versitile and works very well with most colours I like to use. I also like Shooting Star MSF, and Vanilla pigment. Oh and I am NW45.

I am going to try to use Nylon again as a highlight. Every time, and I do mean every time, I've used it as a highlight it comes out super, super, almost disgustingly frosty. I guess I need to use a lighter hand, lol.

Nylon is also great for a cheekbone highlight and sometimes I use it under my eyes to brighten the eye area
