Highlight Favorite Products - theBalm & Sephora

YAS!!   Highlight!

I just got into highlighting and products.   I've discovered two of my favorites that are loved by some of the popular beauty bloggers / makeup you tubers.

The two products that make me happy:

1. Sephora Radiance Lumanizing Drops - Champagne
• This I apply lightly with my finger slowly tapping it on the tops of my cheeks
2. theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer
• This I apply with a fan brush because it might be to heavy with anything else

They are amazing!   I start my highlighting game with the Sephora drops then add the highlighting powder on top and it leaves this amazing glow that just makes me happy.

See pictures of the product below:

MAC Cosmetics Prep & Prime

The Prep & Prime Collection is life changing.  They keep makeup bright and it stays put all day.

Two products I really love:

• Prep & Prime 24 Hour Extend Eye Base
• Prep & Prime Skin

24 Hour Extend Eye Base has allowed me to enjoy eyeshadows again!  Before I started using it I would have creases within hours on my lids.  Any eyeshadow I applied would basically be gone by 3pm.

I've had bottle of this for 4 months and have maybe used 1/5 of it - so it will last a long time!

Prep & Prime Skin keeps my make up looking great all day long.   I have very oily skin and usually by lunch time I used to have a very shiny forehead and nose.  I need to apply powder to not feel like I was glowing with shine.

This skin product is amazing - I never need to apply powder.  I will sometimes blot after work before going out after work in the evening.  But this product works!

Both are life changing and great on my skin.  I don't break out even though I have very sensitive skin.

These 2 product are 100% worth the money.

MAC Cosmetics Highlight & Contour

Something new I've just started getting into for special occasions is the ART of Highlighting and Contouring. And it sure is an ART - it's takes time to get it just right.   Sometimes easy to go too overboard with contouring.

There are 3 products I use for this.

HIGHLIGHT

 MAC Cream Color Base in Pearl

CONTOUR

Colors: Bone Beige & Scult

















Here is a view of where I usually apply.  Highlight is the light shade.  Contour is the dark brown.

These locations are the most common and I've found I don't look as if I'm wearing too much makeup when I highlight and contour this way.

I'm a big fan of these MAC products.  But I am really interested in switching up the highlghting products.

Some other products that interest me that I haven't yet tried:

Sephora Radiant Luminizing Drops
The Balm - Betty-Lou Minizer

MAC Prep & Prime for Beginners

The best 4 product that will help you deciding where to start.
