I'm having trouble with this as well. I have Naked Lunch and Shroom, but I'm not that impressed with either one. I'd like to try some more smoky eye looks with burgundy, black, green, blues, etc. A MAC MA said I could use concealer one shade lighter than my skin for a highlighter. That technique works, but sometimes I want a subtle shimmer on my browbone. I hope we can get some good ideas in this thread. For me, it's fine if it's a non-MAC highlighter.

For highlighters, I use Arena and Soba with Soba as my favourite.

what brow highlight look are you going for? some people like their's to be opaque and seen vividly. some people just want that subtle highlight (like me) when i first used shroom (i'm nc35/7) i was thinking "eck! why the heck is this so popular??" it was a dirty, off white, chalky color, but then i used it with my #217-fluffy blending brush (just a swipe or two) and put it on as my highlight.. it's perfect! a bare shimmer... you can't really tell it's there until the sun catches it and it puts sophisticated into your eye game *wink* lol... try your colors like that before giving up on them (if that's the look you are going for) good luck!

I use Ricepaper and Vanilla pigments for my highlighter. Vanilla pigment is very versatile!!!! you can use it everywhere not just your lids.

thanks ladies for ur suggestions, im jst looking 4 a highlight that i can use everyday with a bit of shimmer in it to use during the day, im going 2 go for vanilla pigment 2 use for night time.
next time i go 2 mac im going 2 try out the colours u have suggested n see if i can narrow my list down hehehe

Bronxcutie: i knw wat u mean! i need somethin shimmery 2 nt a total matte highlighter hehehe

 

[jenii]

I'd suggest Shroom. I can use it as a highlight with most colors.

im nc 43 also and i use ricepaper as a highlight for everything.. it doesnt show up too white on my skin

 

[tropical_smiles]

oh yah!! definately go for the vanilla. It is one that I do not regret buying and use almost everyday..Oh i know i recommended Ricepaper but you mention you wanted a bit of a shimmer and not matted...if you can get your hands on one. Look at the counters for Magic Dust..it's softer than vanilla..but shimmery than ricepaper!! it was from the Barbie loves Mac collection!! I use this all the time!!! LOVE it..though i now wish I did buy more!!

What about Naked Pigment? It is soft and shimmery but not too pale.

 

[SparklingWaves]

I like phloof, but I have very cool coloring. I like to wear cool colors.

I think Naked is a great highlighter. But then again I love Shroom too

 

[ductapemyheartt]

phloof! is usually my highlight.
:]

 

[mommymac]

I like Fairylyte over nylon

 

[msmack]

lightscapade msf/vanilla pigment. those are my top picks for a non-over the top sparkle for a brow highlight. I use lightscapade more often though.

thanks again

wait for me! sorry if it's late, but i'm nc40-42, and these are the colors i use to highlight:

ricepaper
naked lunch
sea myth (which is LE but you might want to check out vex bc it
is supposedly the most similar)
sweet lust
retrospeck
motif (lightly)

what i like about these colors is that they are versatile and can be used on the lid, too.

with honeylust, i like to wear mulch, or i like to bring in a blue/green color, like a teal like steamy

 

[REYNALD0C]

Theres this pallette thing i got from L'oreal (i think) today that has a really good highlight for us nc43s! Its the all brown pallete i'll get the name to you tmw! I also wanna bring it to MAC and see which eyeshadow best matches it!
