For the moment I use Bobbi Brown Candlelight (in the Rich Caviar palette) very often. I like the fact that it is neutral enough to work with both warmer and cooler eyeshadows. If I’m wearing a warmer look, I very often use the lighter shade of Hourglass Dune duo in the inner corners as well.

For a subtle shimmer- Laura Mercier Star Dust powder (which I also dust on cheekbones) or Shimmer Bloc 🙂

For a real noticeable/dramatic shimmer- MUFE Aqua Cream in shimmery white (this stuff stays put like nothing!) or UD 24/7 liner in Bobby Dazzle!

I love Inglot 373M white matte for everyday and colorfull matte looks (i like matte white because of my light skinktone) and Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma – metallic champagne for everyday makeup using brown shades or some more dramatic looks- these two are my favorite highlights for inner corner. Sometimes I use white pearl wchich is Inglot 120 AMC Shine or Inglot 463 Double Sparkle – matte skintone colour with some glitter in it.

MAC Vanilla or Dazzlelight are my usual go-to’s but I’m loving the shimmery shade in the new Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. Think it’s called Venus? It’s really pretty!

Fyrinnae “Rapunzel Had Extensions.” I love that color all over my lid as well, but I tend to use it as an inner corner highlight only. It just lights everything up. 🙂

Chanel beige Clair stylo yeux waterproof formula (all day wear) they just released another color in the stylo yeux formula called or rose (Christine reviewed it) that would be another, less matte more glitter option. When I’m rushed I just swipe Chanel illusion d’ombre cream shadow in emerveille and have a beautiful glow.

I don’t have a “favorite”, but I typically reach for Revlon Pure Pearl, MAC Sweet Joy, Naked Lunch, Dazzlelight, Vanilla, Nylon, etc, UD Sin, Virgin, Venus, Vanilla, Zephyr, etc, or NARS Edie, Abyssinia, either side of Alhambra or All About Eve… I keep all my highlight singles/duos in one spot, so I pretty much just go with whatever catches my eye at the time. I stick to shimmery whites, nudes, & champagnes most of the time, but if I’m doing a purple eye, I sometimes grab MAC Seedy Pearl or Beautiful Iris.

MAC Deckchair pigment
MAC Pink Opal pigment
MAC Blonde Gold pigment
MAC Shroom
Bobbi Brown – Nectar Shimmer brick (the lightest color in the brick)
Laura Mercier – Peach Mosaic (lightest color in the block)
Dior – the lightest shades in the Amber diamond highlighter

So many! <3 <3 <3

Bubbly from Stila In The Light palette. It’s the most lovely champagne shade and I’ve used it on women of all different skin tones and it just looks amazing (I’m a MUA). Ive found a white shimmery highlight can often look to stark on those with darker skin tones but Bubbly just looks great on everyone. It’s shimmery but doesn’t have chunky glitter so it looks lovely on a variety of ages as well. Kitten is a close second for me personally but I don’t think it works for everyone. I like to apply with a tiny brush and use a very light hand to apply and blend around the tear duct area
