, samples of both Splendid and Liberty are on my wishlist now. Also Bailey and Tailfeather. I think Bailey shouldn't have much shimmer. Tailfather seems to have some good amount of it but I can't fresist the color, looks awesome.
Am learning how to do my eyes, found a really ood site if anyone is interested, they have videos teaching you how to do make-up for different eye shapes.
Bailey is not shimmery, but not completely matte/flat either, it's just perfect
Yes, please post that site URL, I'm curious

I'm surprised that Mahalo is too dark for you. It became my favorite highlighter along with Boom and sometimes Bone when I need to tone smth down a little (Not Mahalo, I mean dark shades get little too high on the lid)
Bristol is nice, waay better then Vanilla, but it imho it is too pink on me.
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow

Mahalo is too light for me for a wash and too dark/colored for a highlighter. But I fiugured out I dont need much of a highlighter. Bristol is fine, an eetsy bit too light for me. But to my surprise although I love Teacher PEt, I think a warer colro would suit me better, I think Bailey would look lovely on me. My medium olive skin needs some warm colors to liven up a bit I think. You wont ahev that problem as your skin is lighter, but although my olive is pretty neutral, I think slightly warm and golden colors look better on me than cool ones.

Shirin, I love Papyrus as a highlighter. I have olive tan skin and it really is perfect. It gives the area's that I apply it a very pretty subtle sheen. The color is not noticeable at all but it makes me look more refreshed. I am like you where I can't wear shimmery colors.

I should give Papyrus a try then.
