Highlighter Obsessed

Is it just me or have the past few times I’ve posted it has been about glowing skin? I might have a slight obsession with radiance. Really, highlighter and blush can make skin look just as pretty, healthy and flawless as a full coverage foundation. With so many different formulas out there it can sometimes be overwhelming on what to choose. There are pressed and loose powders; liquid, gel and cream formulas…how do you know what is right for you? Powder highlighters are a little more subtle and are good for just a slight sheen on skin without taking away from the more satin or matte finish of the skin. The creamy and liquid highlighters give off a more noticeable glow and are a little more on the dewy side with a slight shine. It is all about preference here so choose what you are more comfortable with and what compliments your skin the most.  Some days I’ll reach for the creams when my skin is more dehydrated and dull, other days when I’m going for a softer, matte finish I will use my powders. Happy highlighting!
