Newbie here when it comes to highlighters... I only own : Mac Soft and Gentle ((which I hate... It looks ashy on me and glittery!) Mac Hush (which I love) Mac Refresh Becca Opal ( 2 Sephora girls ganged up on me lol and I caved... pumped too much the first time I used it and hubby said I could have just used our canola oil! I have to say I love this one the most) Anyway... Just ordered Mac Trace Gold...should be here tomorrow and I blame this thread lol! I've been meaning to get it for awhile now I hope it works for me just like with most of you wonderful highlighted gals! I have terribly dry skin... Would I be better off steering away from powder highlighters? Or would dousing myself with Fix + solves that problem lol... thanks!

Maybe to change skincare or add something more hydrating? i am surprised hush works on you if SG is ashy

 

[pinkcrush]

I just bought Becca Opal and I absolutely ️It!!! It's a much better color than MAC Global Glow on me, wasn't so icy/cool... Topaz is next!!!

Actually I am trialling a new foundation right now... also started using moisturizer and primer...it seems to make a tad of difference...(guess I have to be more diligent with taking my omega-3 supplement too) I am aging so fast im drying up like crazy! Whenever I look at soft and gentle all I see is a huge blob of gray glitter lol...yeah I'm surprised yet quite pleased that hush works though!

Hello,
I have been lurking here the past few weeks and love this thread. Trace gold is amazing with everything. My fave is MAC Cheeky Bronze. I just discovered using vanilla pigment as a highlighter on the face & brows. I am thinking of trying hush next. My skin is combo so I am thinking it may either slide away or be absorbed. That is whay happened many years ago when I used the CCB, improper Copper

Nice collection PG!

Nice collection PG!

Thanks! I pulled out the drawer to catalog them and my 5 year old looked at me and said, "Looking at your makeup AGAIN mommy?"

Welcome to the thread!

(Watch out for @DILLIGAF and @Medgal07)

Becca Opal is gorgeous, probably one of my top 3 highlighters! I'm sorry I can't answer for the dry skin question, I'm combination/oily so I worry more about looking like a greasy disco ball!

Love your collection!!! I'm embarrassed to re-post mine because it was outrageous when I joined this thread, and thanks to the likes of Dilli & Vee it's even more so now

I've purchased highlighters from brands I've never even heard of because of these ladies. I have to admit---I've not once been disappointed or not liked a product that they forced encouraged me to buy.

I just pointed the finger at Dilli & Vee!

Besides ordering online, where could I get the Balm highlighters? I'm really interested in Mary Lou-Manizer but would want to swatch it first!

Totally!!!!!

I just did a Google search and Kohls and Target both came up. I had purchased mine online at Nordstrom so you might try there and/or Nordstrom JCP.

I believe Kohl's stocks them. Hautelook currently has a slew of the Balm's products for half price, the lou-manizers included. It's only by God's strength that I haven't bought anything.... yet lol.

 

[Medgal07]

Oh no Lauren-----In that search that I did for you I saw Cindy Luminizer. I think she needs me. She just jumped onto my list and undoubtedly will strong arm her way into my cart.
