I use Nars Cococabana on very fair girls and it gives them a wonderful glow. I also use Lightscapade for something less shimmery.

my favorites are shimpagne & porcelain pink MSFs, and vanilla pigment. shimpagne is definitely the most "glowy," porcelain pink gives a gold highlight with a subtle hint of pink, and vanilla is just pretty because of the gold/pink sheen in it. i also just recently swapped for good as gold pearlizer and it's a pretty highlight if used lightly...it's VERY shimmery.

I use Shimpagne MSF, the discontinued Skinlights fluid from Revlon, and this Illuminating Powder that was a LE release from Estee Lauder this past winter. It was half-priced too, score!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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....
