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.
