i looooooove MAC vanilla pigment. i use it on my cheeks, cheekbones, brow bones, down the bridge of my nose, chin, cupids bow, inner eye, collarbones......wonderful!! i also use Burt's Bees Radiance body lotion mixed with my foundation if i feel so inclined. i'll usually do that for an illuminizer/concealer under my eyes if i feel i've got some dark circles goin on. or i use the lotion on it's own on my collarbones, down my shins when i wear dresses.....etc.

 
I only own 2 highlighters that have been actually mentioned already (The Balm MaryLou and Benefit WattsUp) and I like them both, I tend to use the Balm one with mineral foundation and the Benefit one with cream foundation or by itself.The staying power is very nice with both.

Another one that I LOVE and has not been mentioned is Smashbox Artificial Light luminizing lotion. I got 2 samples of that in "glow" a while ago and it is great. It gives a fantastic sheen without any glitter and it is very easy to blend. The only reason why I did not buy it yet is that whenever I have sampled it at the shop, one single pump release way too much product so I am afraid I would end up waisting 2 thirds of the all bottle

For creamy highlighter I would recommend MAC Pearl, for powder higlighter I would recommend DIOR Amber Rose, this powder is a combination of 4 different shades, from medium pink to almost white/pink color. It provides very soft and natural illuminating effect, nothing dramatic.

Hi Ladies - seeing how we are on the topic of highlighters - can anyone suggest a good brow-bow/inner corner highlighter. something that really pops (not glitter though).

Thanks :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
A good dupe for Highbeam by Benefit would be from mememe cosmetics

Other good highlighter are from Fyrinnae and their powder highlighters.

I hate shimmer bricks since they contains shimmer and shimmer usually to me is similar to glitter and just to "chunky" the face most of the time looks likes it was dipped in glitter

I gotta try Dior's Amber Rose looks promising :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Apply the brightening tint to highlight the top of the cheekbones or brow bones, on the cupid's bow of the lips and wherever else you need some gleam power or add a few drops to your foundation for all-over luminous glow!

 
I prefer High Beam. I also like to use Physician's Formula Mineral Glow Powder in Translucent Pearl. Both products are great by themselves, but I usually combine them.

 
I don't have any personal experience with "Watt's Up!" but I have heard good things about Benefit. Also heard good things about their Moon Beam product.

 
Has anyone tried NARS highlighting blush? (removed link per Terms of Service)

I've been on the hunt for a fabulous highlighter. One that would make my cheekbones glow but will not be obvious or sparkly or, god forbid, glittery. I am happy to report back that I have found my miracle highlighter.

 
I've been wanting to try YSL's new Dare to Glow in Tempting Gold, however, I fear that it might look obvious on my very fair albeit warm skintone. Insights?
