We all need a little pick me up for our skin at times but especially
during the winter months and sometimes blusher on its own doesn't do the job.
This is where the gorgeousness of highlighter steps in! Here are my favourite ones at the mo from cream to powder that have now become part of my everyday
make up routine. This picture is my current inspiration and went straight on my Pinterest board!
MAC's cream colour base in Hush is a brilliant all rounder
highlighter and looks amazing for day time or an evening look. Cream highlighters
are so easy to use and perfect if you're a newbie to the highlighter world as
you can't really go wrong. Just build the colour up slowly adding a little bit
more product at a time. I find I have more control when using a cream than a
powder and normally apply with my fingers in a patting motion across the tops
of my cheeks. The colour base in the shade hush is slightly pinky in colour so
looks really fresh and pretty. Perfect for a spring look!
The Balm is a relatively new brand which I recently discovered whilst on the hunt for a bit more of a hardcore, full on highlighter - and after being super impressed with their Mary Lou Manizer highlighter I'll be having another peek on their website to see what other products they have. You have to be super careful when applying this though; tap off any excess powder first from your brush before applying as it's heavily pigmented. This is a beautiful champagney, golden highlighter and looks stunning on any skin tone - especially on tanned skin, as the golden colour really pops! So a little bit on the top of your cheek bones, inner corner of your eyes and on your cupids bow for an instant brightening effect.
