Need help finding a shimmery highlighter!!

[minni4bebe]

I have tried MSF's, shimmery blushes, strobe cream, EVERYTHING AT MAC that is supposed to highlight. The problem is that the powders just lay over the little hairs on my face so it looks ashy or patchy. The strobe cream doesn't leave shimmer at all. I need something that will make me glowy but won't make me looking like a disco ball or ashy. HELP ME PLEASE!!

TIA!

Did you try the MSF from the MAC BBR collection? I think those are great! well thats if you can still get a hold of one.

Have you tried Vanilla pigment or the cream colour bases, I think Preal, Luna or Shell would be good for highlighting

I tried all the msfs from bbr and felt they were to 'clumpy' ( i think thats the word im looking for, lol). I am thinking of tryin the vanilla mixed with my cream. CCB's and I don't get along, lol.

Maybe a liquid luminzer like Lorac's would work better for you. If you have a Sephora near then I would suggest going there and asking for a sample to try it before you buy it.

Hmm, I'll be at the mall tomorrow (picking up lucky tom, which I avoided today, lol) so I'll try that. Thanks!

maybe vanilla pigment since its more smooth than a pressed product.

i used to sort of have that problem with hairs on my face catching product. i got into the habit of waxing it off! it really makes your foundation and blush look more flawless because even though the hairs are little, when u look up close it won't look as flawless because they're laying flat against ur skin when u have lets say, liquid foundation on. and if u have powder foundation on, the little hairs may make you look cakey because powder particles get stuck onto them!

But won't it look wierd when it grows back?

Benefit High Beam (liquid but more pinky than gold.. I love this stuff)

NARS Albatross (so smooth and shimmery, a bit more golden)

I would stick with liquids or creams instead of powders.
My initial suggestion was a ccb, maybe try those again.
Also, Targets' Napoleon Perdis line has some liquid highlighters that I'm currently obsessing over

Can you get them at the store, or just online?

Try Benefits Moonbeam or Moonlight

It's a very light cream or liquid highlighter - good product in some unfortunate packaging

 

[Humayra]

have you tried using honour blush, just really buff it in, then it doesnt look ovb, just very sheeny and nice! Same goes for trace gold

 

[caffn8me]

If you're using a liquid foundation mix some iridescent powder into it and use that.
