Recommend me the BEST eye shadow to highlight?

[doloreshaze]

I'm on a budget, so I'm forcing myself to buy only ONE shadow for highlighting!

I have fair (but not PPP) skin and I'm cool-toned (dark blonde hair, blue-green eyes).

In my perfect world, I'm looking for a highlighter with a great texture that's my-skin-but-better - noticeable and shimmery, but close to my natural skintone, not an unnatural frosty white.

Right now I'm thinking Jest, does anyone else have any other ideas?

naked lunch, maybe?

maked lunch and jest look a lot alike, in my opinion.

 

[rouquinne]

i second Naked Lunch!

Thanks, I was thinking about Naked Lunch too! I'll decide when I get to the counter ... they're probably close enough that it doesn't really matter which one I choose, anyway.

i do shroom!!! it's such a great natural color!!!

My favorite highlights are Nylon, Vanilla pig, and Shroom. Also if you are looking for a natural but shimmery that darned Pearlette is just BEA-utiful!

I live and die by Ricepaper.

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

i use nylon and vanilla pigment..but i think shroom would work..

 

[Midgard]

Ricepaper, goes well with every color!

 

[curlyqmishee]

Naked Lunch and Shroom!!!

 

[pumpkincat210]

shroom, wishful, all that glitters.

Phloof is my use everyday highlighter.

 

[doloreshaze]

Thanks everybody! Very helpful!

I'll definitely check out the following the next time I'm at a counter: Naked Lunch, Shroom, Ricepaper, Jest. I've seen Nylon look gorgeous on others, but I think it would be too yellow on me!

Too bad I live in Canada, otherwise I would definitely check out those Milani shades.

I love Ploof! and Dazzlelight for highlights.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't like Shroom or Naked Lunch as a highlighter. I guess I'm just too pale

I use either Vanilla e/s or Vapour
