Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!
Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite intense highlighter? Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing in Ozone.
Favorite softer highlighter? Actually an eyeshadow: the old KVD Metalcrush Eyeshadow in Thunderstruck.
Favorite shimmery blush? Not shimmery, but I have a few glowy blushes that I LOVE: ND Mini Bloom Highlighting Blush, Nabla Skin Glazing in Independence, and Milani Baked Blushes in Luminoso and Dolce Perla.
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20
Favorite intense highlighter? Fenty Killawatt in Lightning/ Fire Crystal
Favorite softer highlighter? Becca Moonstone, Chantecaille Liquid Lumiere in Sheen, MAC Lightscapade
Favorite shimmery blush? MAC Springsteen or NARS Orgasm
I KNEW MAC was Born in the USA….gotta love that autocorrect.
It took me a bit to understand what you were talking about lol. iPhone autocorrect for sure is the bane of my existence 🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣
Well….Boss or not, MAC was Born in Canada!
Absolutely born in Canada. Sowrry😉
Hey, saying “sorry” is practically a Canadian innate habit so maybe you’re a secret Canadian! (we’re known for apologizing and saying sorry all the time, even when there’s no one there!)
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite intense highlighter? Anything I own from Ofra or MAC! Glazed Donut, Covent Garden and Whisper Of Gilt can all be sheered out nicely, though.
Favorite softer highlighter? Laura Mercier Highlighter 01. Or ABH Amrezy, because it blends in with my skin color quite well.
Favorite shimmery blush? ALL my shimmery Nars blushes! And a few from ColourPop, too.
Your skin tone/coloring: Pale, cool
Favorite intense highlighter? Possibly Dior’s Nude Air Luminizer 002 (not sure if it’s still around – who can keep track of their highlighter releases and name changes?)
Favorite softer highlighter? Either UD Aura or Becca Rose Quartz Shimmering Skin Perfector (and not just because I got it for next to nothing at Winners!)
Favorite shimmery blush? MAC Rosy Cheeks Extra Dimension Blush
Skin tone/coloring: Very neutral, leaning yellow rather than peach, fair in winter and light in summer
Favorite intense highlighter: Doesn’t exist, I’m too pale, old and don’t go anywhere where shiny face would look good
Favorite softer highlighter: When I use highlighter at all, I prefer Becca Moonstone. By far the closest I can get to a “natural” highlight
Favorite shimmery blush: Goes in cycles. Right now, with my pale winter skin, Clinique Heather Pop is really working for me.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light+ w neutral u/t
Favorite intense highlighter? PMG Lunar Nude
Favorite softer highlighter? ND Super Glow Nude (it’s not that subtle.. I don’t really do subtle, but it is more natural looking)
Favorite shimmery blush? Right now the cream to powder blush shade from ND glam face palette Dark
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite intense highlighter? Nope, I don’t use highlighters at all
Favorite softer highlighter? Nada
Favorite shimmery blush? I prefer a matte kind of blush – Clinique’s Melon Pop may have a bit of a sheen, which is OK with me.
