Looking for a highlight color

Post by moon8305 » Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:27 pm

Hi Ladies,

I'm looking for an eyeshadow allover/highlight color. I have Vanilla and I like it a lot, but it's just a smidge too frosty for everyday. I'm looking for something maybe a tiny bit darker and possibly a bit less shimmery. Thoughts? TIA!

Hiya Moon :) Have a look at Bone for a matte highlighter, or Whisper for a shimmery highlighter. Neither are as bright as Vanilla. Here's some options:

Also, for a highlighter with a twist, consider Fire (sheer white with golden copper interference). A lot of folks like Boom (I find it a little too yellow) but it's lovely.

Thanks Cupcake--Whisper looks like a really good start!

My usual is Boom, but yeah, it's for ppl with yellow undertones.

Whisper is nice for non-yellows, but it's a bit on the shimmery side, so it may not be what you're looking for. Boom is my all-time fav, but I have yellow undertones, so yeah. Cream sounds like something that might work for you: it's almost like Vanilla, but more satiny.

A little more pinkish, but still works as highlight: Chills

I was thinking Sandy....it is kind of a low key peachy pink. It has a satin/pearl finish.
