Essence Be My Highlight, The Balm Maryloumanizer and MAC Lightscapade and Soft n Gentle are my favorites!
I am forever the ‘Mary-Lou’ kind of girl! Currently going through the third pan 🙂
I have and love the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance in 01. That really fine, subtle highlighter is ideal for me. I am wondering if anyone can recommend something similar in a pink/lavender shade? I don’t want to be super metallic shiny, just a subtle pinky glow. Thanks!
My top favorites are Jouer(I would like a couple more colors from them though),Anastasia Beverly Hills,and Makeup Geek.I am currently in love with the Kylie Cosmetics The Wet Set and Ultra Glow Highlighters which really surprised me with how impressive they are.
Not a highlighter maven by any means. My fave so far is abh Aurora. No one reacts to the offbeat shades….which I kind of expected at my age. Getting a lot of use out of the yellowed green and Spectra. By themselves, even. Such fun.
Given how insanely popular the Victoria Beckham highlighter was, how limited its release was and how quickly it sold out (leaving probably 80% of the people who would have bought it, frustrated), I don’t understand why Estee Lauder doesn’t repromote it. They needn’t even use her name (which they probably cannot do anyway because of the contract, licensing, etc.) but they could release a “Modern Mercury” highlighter and make it more available to those would love to get their hands on it even now.
My faves: Mary Lou-Manizer (always), UD Aura and the Dior LE Glowing Pink Illuminating Powder from last year. Oh, and Becca Pearl.
Funny enough, Modern Mercury was originally released as Modern Mercury years ago pre-Beckham! But MAC Superb is pretty freakin’ close to it and now permanent.
My favorites are MAC Tutu, and Urban Decay Sin, and Too Faced Candlelight Rosy Glow. I had gotten Sin in and Ipsy bag and I’ve lost it somewhere; if I don’t find it soon I’m going to have to replace it. I love that highlighter!!
