Hi ladies,

I've been away since the Forum upgraded and I couldn't figure out how to log in. Only took me about 18 months to actually do something about it. :arco:

I've been on a bit of a highlighter kick lately; I hadn't been wearing them much but now that my skin is getting drier (hello 50s), I have less need to fight oil and shine and actually have to work to put it back. At least now it's where I want it! Recent purchases are Bobbi Brown Afternoon and Sunset Glow. My fifteen year-old is way into highlighter, but I like more subtle and glowy, and she's an all the way or not at all kinda girl, so loves ABH, Becca and KVD. Maybe I would be too if I had the flawless young skin, bone structure and 'tude to pull it off. :)

Oh, this is really pretty. I know my daughter would love this - I'll have to try and snag it before it flies off the shelves.

Welcome back Audrey! I am here to say we ladies of certain age (I am 48 ;) )can definitely rock some highlighter! :D

I do stay away from anything with micro fine/fine glitter when it comes to the face...but love it for the eyes! And with the super shimmery/metallic products, I just use a light hand and a super soft fan brush...I was gifted the Wayne Goss #15 and it is the perfect brush for softly applying highlighters.

I just don't like the way glitter looks on my skin. The upside of having had oily skin most of my life is that I don't have a lot of lines. I do have slightly enlarged pores on my cheeks though; I've amped up the skincare, but glitter and strong gold sheens (a la Nars Orgasm) really aren't my friends.

A nice glow on my cheekbones though - absolutely!

I know most of the highlighters mentioned in this thread aren't from MAC but I recently picked up the Glow For It Extra Dimension Skin Finish. It gives me a lit from within bronzed glow. Anyone at or near my complexion should look it up.

I originally ordered Glow With It and it arrived shattered :mad: I was kinda off put in that moment and did not re-order it. However, Macy's is having a 10% off beauty now thru May 7th and Ebates is offering 6% atm...so I may re-order with a couple other EDSF/Blush.

Macy's?!? Can you order online and pick up in store?
Shattering makeup is their favorite hobby. :p

I am thinking that is the way to go!
Especially, because they have that beautiful Clarins bronzer available and lord knows I would be heart broken if that arrived smashed to bits!

I'm highlighter crazy right now. I ordered a bunch of JD Glow highlighters. They were in this thread ages ago but I never tried them. They were having a close out sale so I picked up a bunch. They are coming out with new packaging so I will get the rest when they come in stock. Nice cream to powder texture. You think that would be enough for me. Nope! Just ordered the new Milk one and I'm eager to purchase the new Coloured Raine highlighters. I haven't even gotten around to trying the new Mac one. Must address this soon. As for today. I went with Nars new highlighter palette Blanc something. I used the copper shade with a little of the middle shade on top.
