What would be a highlighter for dark brown skin?

[bobbiedoll03]

I have been using MAC Sun Rush lustre drops to highlight and I am in love....

I'm a MAC NC50 and these are the one's that I own. I reach for some more than I reach for others but these are products I use for highlighting.

Sally Girl Soft Lights
NYX Tango & Highlights
Hard Candy Tiki
Sleek Contour Kit in Dark
MAC B-Jeweled Sheer Shimmer Powder
MAC Mellow Mood Sheer Shimmer Powder
MAC Petticoat MSF (this one is more of a 2-in-1 highlighter/blush to me)
MAC Redhead MSF
MAC Glorify MSF
MAC Golden Bronze Iridescent Powder
MAC Silver Dusk Iridescent Powder
Laura Mercier Rose Rendevous

And every now and then I may try a shadow or a pigment like MAC's Ricepaper e/s, MAC's Subtle or Vanilla Pigment. I feel like I'm forgetting maybe 1 or 2 so if I remember them, I'll add them.

NARS Albatross is the shiznit and MACs Gold Deposit is amazing also

Another vote for Gold Deposit!

I'm very dark, and Nars Albatross looks great on me. Nars Luster also looks fantastic.

Your chocolate-hued skin will be perfectly highlighted with a true gold highlighter. U dont have to use a liquid highlighter or even a product specifically for highlighting, u can use a powder eye shadow.
What might be good is Urban Decay shadow in Half Baked. I use it on my eyes for a lovely gold effect. But as far as drugstore makeup, tryMaybeline they have highly pigmented colors and they stay on throughout the day.

Estée Lauder Shimmering Sands and Topaz Chameleon

For dark brown skin, you want to look for something in a golden bronze color.

Not sure if it's still on the MAC site but there's an iridescent loose powder called Golden Bronze that's really pretty. Cargo has bronzers in a few different shades--the Medium or Dark might make a nice highlight on dark brown skin.

If you're into cream highlighters, Becca has Shimmering Skin Perfectors called Topaz (Golden Bronze) and Bronze (Deep Bronze) that are also very pretty. And also maybe Nars Laguna Illuminator.

What are your favorite hightlighters...as an olive girl?

My new favorite highlighter is Nars Luster!!! Love it!!!!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick in Bronze. It gives a beautiful goden bronze highlight on brown skin and it's not too shimmery. It is my personal fave. If you like a liquid product, Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl is beautiful as well.

If your skin is dark, with a green undertone, I find that Becca's SSP in topaz, Elf's color stick in almond, Face atelier fluid sheer in bronze, and NYX oro pearl work the best. I have MAC's irridescent bronze on my wish list to try, hoping it won't be too coppery or gold.

I also want to try Kryolan's shimmering event foundations in Antique bronze and antique gold, but can't get a good swatch to see if it's glittery. I hate glittery highlighters.

MAC's Improper Copper Cream Color Base is a great highlighter for dark brown skin. An SA used it on my on Friday and I loved it and bought one. I also like the highlighter from Sleek's Face Contour Kit in Dark. For the moment though, I'm using Tarte's Amazonian Clay Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess. It was part of a 500-point Sephora reward sometime back and I tried it out recently and really like it as a highlighter.

I'm about NW45-47 depending on time of the year. I use MAC Comfort MSF and MAC Naked Pigment. As a substitute for MAC Glorify, I use Estee Lauder Topaz Chameleon, which I found at the CCO. They are they same color! It's beautiful. Recently, I've been using MAC Comfort more than anything.

OK I need to go ahead and get albatross.

Mary-Lou Manizer by thebalm. It's awesome.

In going to look into that. It seems golden enough. I'm going to grab the Sun Rush Lustre Drops too.

 

[shontay07108]

Be easy w/ it b/c it's very, very pigmented. Just tap your brush onto it. Seriously. I used to use Sun Rush all the time when I bought it from Style Warriors. I loved it. It's really subtle, but I loved mixing it with my foundation. I need a new bottle because I went through 2. Thanks for reminding me.

Has anyone tried Benefit Sunbeam? Thinking about trying it.
