Gotta Glow

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late post I have been quite busy with school and just life in general. Since it is now spring I am wanting a fresh and bright look. To achieve the glow I have been into using my highlighting products more. These are my favourite highlighting products to use. 

This is the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips All-in-1 Custom Nude Palette in the shade Natural Nude. Wow, I think that wins for the longest name ever! The idea behind this palette is that you can do multiple things. You can use it as a highlighter, blush, and eyeshadows. The top is for highlighting. the middle is for blush, and I would use the bronze shades as shadows. It is a great product to pack when traveling because it can almost do it all. Comment down below if you would like to see a look just using this as my blush, highlight, and eyeshadow. 

This is the Covergirl Eye Enhancer in the color Champagne. This is meant to be an eyeshadows but I find it makes a great highlight because it is a true champagne colored highlight. This is also great to highlight under the brow bone to give more definition. 

This product is the L'oreal Magic Lumi Light Diffusing Primer. But I do not use this as a primer because all over my face it is too much glow. I love use this on the top of my cheek bones to give a nice natural glow from with in. I do usually like to use a light dusting with one of the highlighters mentioned above. It helps to add an little extra and help set the product in place.

From left to right: L'oreal, Covergirl, and Physicians Formula. 

As you can see the L'oreal has a very nice glow to it, while the others have that bit of shimmer. The Covergirl is that nice classic Champagne highlight. The Physicians Formula look more bronze, this is because I swirled my finger around the whole product. But I do usually just use the top colors as my highlight. 

With the powder highlights I use my Real Techniques Contour Brush from the Core Collection. It has the perfect tapered shape to get the tops of my cheek bones. For the L'oreal I blend that in with my makeup sponge by Quo from Shoppers Drug Mart, works great with this liquid product. 

Thanks for reading, hope your week is going well! Just wanted to let you know that for the rest of March till the end of April I will only be posting on Wednesdays and Fridays. With finals coming up I have to focus on my school work. But beginning of May the posts will be back to the regular Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
