Highlight Colors

Post by 18Angel » Sat Sep 10, 2011 11:23 pm

This week I have been a bit stumped for highlight colors...especially when the lid color is a lighter neutral like Propinquity or Tailfeather. Usually my go to highlight colors are Envoy and Zero, but against the neutrals they can seem a bit stark & cold. Apparently I "need" more colors. :lol: Any sugguestions? Thanks!

Bone is a great highlight. It isn't a stark white, and I like having a matte highlight to go with more sparkly shadows.

If you want to stick with a more shimmery highlight, maybe look at Cream or Vanilla.

I've been using Juiced a lot too, and Cream. I also customize Cream by mixing in the slightest amount of the color that I wear on the lid, so there isn't that much contrast (I'm not a very good blender).

Last resort: use finishing glows like Liberty, Splendid or Crystal :)
