I rather recently added highlighter as a part of my daily makeup routine. As I have gotten older, my skin just isn’t as glowing and bright as it used to be no matter what skin care product I use. This is a nice sized pallet for a highlighter. For reference, I have fair skin and classic ivory is the traditional color of my foundation. I ordered this highlighter in vanilla skeye, the lightest shade available. In its compact, this makeup looks like it has speckles of glitter. At first, I thought perhaps it may be more appropriate to wear strictly as evening makeup and not at the office. Once I applied this cosmetic, however, I discovered the sparkles are incredibly subtle and only serve to enhance the highlighting feature. A light application is such a simple and easy way to instantly brighten and freshen your eyes and skin. I apply this product primarily to the top of my cheekbones with just a couple of little swipes on my forehead in the shape of a cross and a single dab to the outer corners of my eyes. This highlighter makes my cheekbones appear higher and my face look slimmer more like an oval shape. My face has a round shape, so I appreciate these little make-up tricks and tactics. This cosmetic highlighter has an unusual texture. It has a mousse based formula. I usually prefer a dry powder form as a highlighter or shadow. Most creams leave a sticky residue and/or cause uneven creases. This highlighter, however, applies more like a powder in that it is easy to control the amount and placement of the shadow. This makes it much easier to blend in with blush, foundation and eye shadow as opposed to others that are cream or liquid based. I find that an angled makeup brush is the best method to use to blend. A single application lasts for several hours. This is a one and done product with no need for touch-ups during the day. Great product, great buy and great result.
