White E/S help...

[Tahti]

So, as I recently moved away from the city, I'm now about 2 hours away from my nearest MAC store and have to do my ordering online, so I can't go in and check out the E/S IRL... *tear*

I have Gesso E/S, which I usually use for my browbone highlighting, but as it's Matte it doesn't stand out as much as I'd like to....

Browsing the online site I can't really decide what colour to get - I'm looking for something like Gesso, except in Frost, not Matte. I'm very pale so only whites really work for highlighting on me... I know Shroom is pretty popular, but it's far too dark for my skin to work as a highlighter. Any recommendations?

Oh, and OT : what does CCO stand for...? From skimming posts I'm guessing it's some kind of shop that sells discounted/discontinued MAC... we don't have anything like that in Ireland as far as I can tell ;O

I second Crystal Avalanche too, love this color I use it for highlighter a lot, blends and fit with almost anything.
It's a frosty white veluxe pearl.

Checked out Crystal Avalanche and it looks good! Thanks ladies <3

I like Phloof! It's a little off-white but lighter than shroom. It comes out perfectly on my skin (im around NW15, maybe a bit lighter). I use it for brow highlight sometimes, as well as the inner corner/tearducts. Love it.

CCO means cosmetic close out. So it's like a clothes close out store but for makeup

You were close.

It's Cosmetic Company Outlet.. its basically all the estee lauder brands' outlet store, they sell the discontinued or excess product at reduced prices. usually around 30% off. It includes MAC, clinique, bobbi brown, prescriptives, etc...

Ah! D: I don't know of any in Ireland, but I hope there is one... *doubtful*

Go for crystal avalanche, i love it.

CCO stands for Cosmetic Close Outlet.

There is a thread here on where there are CCO's in the UK.

White Frost is a white staple. You can use it as a super frosty base under any shadow to make it pop like crazy and it's beautiful alone. It brightens my eyes so much.
