I think I just ruined the thread for you. Good luck getting any input regarding the highlighter now...hehe

Mac has a highlighter known as Strobe Cream and Strobe Liquid. The cream is richer than the liquid. Revlon also has a highlighter as well. Sometimes a highlighter is called an illuminator.

i use two of the ones from the below link

M·A·C Cosmetics | Mineralize Blush (Duo)

I dont wear foundation, but like to highlight my cheeks and i find these just gorgeous... i have the really light one (light over dark) and i believe earth to earth...

Benefit Glamazon is a great highlighter - it's what J-lo uses but not for anyone who wants to look super fair + lovely cos it'll make u more bronzey glowy..

ummmmmmm no no bronzer i already have bronzer but i dont use it much. i usually stay away from borwn/bronze colour. my skin is yellow based and its very pale yellow so it looks sallow if i dotn use blush or lipcolour.

i usually wear bronzer alone but it doent do much for my yellow based skin. i think i tgoes better wiht fair or caramel skintones. mine is in the middle so it always leave me in the middle of nowhere

i want illuminizer jst to highlight my cheeks even when im using blusher.

and one more question.will cream highlighter ruin my foundation? like make it streaky or sumthing?

i prefer powder stuff i always mess up creamy things.

Yes, the purpose of strobe cream is to make your skin shine and glow. You can apply it to highlight certain areas of your face (cheekbones) or you can apply it to the whole face. A highlighter and illuminator are basically the same thing.....they both highlight your face by bringing a shimmer/shine/glow to it.

Try Chanel Eclat Lumiere.....I have tried Missoni too....but the Chanel one wins handsdown!

kali billi · Mar 26th, 2009, 05:47 PM

its cream or powder?

sanz · Mar 26th, 2009, 06:21 PM

are you asking me...Kalli Billi?...if yes, then it comes in a Pen...so it is really easy to use as it offers an instant touch of radiance in a single stroke.........so I would definitely recommend it to those who would listen to me.......

though I know here on GS there aren't many who would listen to me *(pun intended)*

kali billi · Mar 26th, 2009, 06:23 PM

yeah i was asking u

but its a cream one right? will it ruin my frundation?

sanz · Mar 26th, 2009, 06:33 PM

it depends...my foundation and this highlighter kinda blends in perfectly well..... but if you are not sure then be safe and use powder ones....

i have been using bare minerals, it gives you such a radiant look and with it being powder form it feels very light.

wondergurl · Apr 9th, 2009, 01:36 PM

i love bobbi brown's shimmer brick compacts, they come in a lot of shades to suit all sorts of skintones, just the right amount of shimmer

2 of my fav shades
