Now that the weather's getting colder my skin has been needing a bit of brightening up. With my skin being so pale and drab this time of year it needs a little oomph and that's where highlighters come into my life!
I have four go to highlighters at the moment, that I just can't get enough of. I'll start with my favourite which is Mac's 'Soft and Gentle' highlighter. Sometimes I'll totally forget I have this in my drawer but I always end up going back to it. It's a slightly bronze toned highlighter with shimmer. The formula feels very creamy even though its a powder. This product is very pigmented so a little goes a long way.
Benefit's Watts Up highlighter is a cream highlighter and its a sort of rosy gold colour. This is such a natural highlighter that blends really nicely. It's definitely build-able depending on how much glow you like. I have this in a mini size and when I run out I am definitely purchasing the full size product!
The next one I've been loving is The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer. This is a pretty gold highlighter that I feel would suit every skin tone. I have been loving using this as an inner eye highlight and on my brow bone, it adds such a nice touch! It's one of the more natural looking highlighters I own, it adds a really nice glow without being overly shimmery or glittery. This is the first product I own from The Balm and after this hit I definitely want more!
The last of my go to highlighters is a new one to my collection. I won't discuss the Sleek Solstice palette too much as I wrote about it in my 3 new tries post. Summarising it though the four highlighters are beautiful. Getting all of them in the palette for £10 is an absolute bargain as well! My favourite from the quad is the pink-purple shade called 'Hemisphere' which I love applying to my cheek bones. The little brush in the palette is also really handy for highlighting your brow bone and the bridge of your nose which I was chuffed about!
