I am going to try to use Nylon again as a highlight. Every time, and I do mean every time, I've used it as a highlight it comes out super, super, almost disgustingly frosty. I guess I need to use a lighter hand, lol.

Nylon is also great for a cheekbone highlight and sometimes I use it under my eyes to brighten the eye area

I always base my whole eye-all the way to brow with Mary Kay's Beige Correcting Concealer. Makes everything pop.

I love love love Patina. It is the only MAC shadow I have hit the pan on. It's great for a more subtle highlight. I also love Shroom and I just picked up Motif today so I can't wait to use it as a highlight among other things.
Nylon is also nice, but I prefer Rose Blanc. Oh Honesty is an amazing higlight as is Retrospeck.

Arena is my HG highlight. I don't like anything too shimmery either and Arena looks my skin color. It works for a lot of skin tones too. Sometimes I'll do Arena first, then add the tiniest bit of Shroom, Nylon, or Vanilla pigment just under the brow.
