I'd have to say that the universal usage of Stila's All Over Shimmer Duo in Kitten ($29) is pretty awesome. It can be used as a blush - shadow - highlighter- whatevs!

what sort of consistency are you looking for in a highlighter (e.g. cream, liquid, powder)? are you fine with glitter, or would you prefer something with a really fine shimmer? do you want something with a more golden, white, or pink undertone?
I personally prefer powder highlighters, since my blush and bronzer are powders too. they're usually very shimmery, but I feel like you have better control in terms of pigmentation. MAC's soft and gentle skinfinish is gorgeous /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. although they're not as glittery as powdered highlighters, liquids like benefit's high beam and moon beam definitely have glitter--if you spread them out too thin, you end up with mostly glitter and no pigmentation (like here, around the edges). both types are lovely, I think it just depends on what you're looking for.

Have you tried Highbeam by Benefit?
I really like the color.
I got something at Sephora called the Legally Bronze kit and for $40 you get a full sized Highbeam, Hoola Bronzer, Bad Gal mascara and some eye highlighter. Everything was full sized and retails for about $30 each so the deal is really good.
I absolutely hated those Shimmer Bricks. I know it's called Shimmer but good lord it was more like glitter. Bobbi Brown's line is hardly ever out there so I expected a very lovely sheen but nope, it made me look like a disco ball on my already oily skin. I've only found it useful on the inner corners of my eyes which means it'll last me a lifetime lol.Originally Posted by satojoko /img/forum/go_quote.gifOther really good ones are Fyrinnae's powder highlighters. I ordered samples of the pink and yellow ones and love them both. They're a super creamy feeling powder, seem to be very finely milled, with no sparkle to them, just a beautiful, satiny sheen. They come in 3 shades, are the most natural looking highlighters I've run across so far and can be used anywhere on the face. I love them so much, especially after getting stuck with duds like 2 of Bobby Brown's shimmer bricks, that I'm going to order them full sized once they open up again.
I forgot about Too Faced Candle Light. I love it, too.Originally Posted by Urban DeKate /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Too Faced Candle Light Powder: Very pretty, similar to Albatross from NARS. It's pretty much just sheer shimmery glitter. Again, can be used over any base without issue.
