NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk followed by the Naked Ivory Stack. I owe xSparkage for this amazing combo!
I do this for my non neutral days as well but I have few more shade out of the Inteference Collections pigments that TKB Trading sells but I love how Naked formulates the pigments and also have that stack as well.
MAC Vapour eyeshadow. Amazinggg for inner corner. Shows up brightness on pictures too.
Nylon is my fave too!
I love the white shade from the Ombres Perlees de Chanel for a high shine inner corner, or if I want something more subtle I would choose Urban Decay Virgin or the champagne shade for Dior Rosy Nude.
I second this (except not the Dior shade since I don’t have it!). Also, I love using the lighter shade in a random Ulta baked eyeshadow duo that I picked up (I think it’s called Natural Beauty).
Lately I have loved NARS Abyssinia.
Albatross I think that’s how it’s spelled lol. Can’t see the palette but I love it.
BE Vanilla Sugar or MAC Shroom!
I think Retrospeck is my fave!
I’ve recently fallen in love with MACs soft and gentle MSF for my inner highlight! It’s supper glowy and really wakes up my eyes. It stands out even more if you put bare study paint pot as a primer.
love soft and gentle <3
Half baked by Urban Decay….I loveeee golden highlight shades rather than white b/c it looks more natural on my NC30-35 skin tone!
hmm…… that’s a toughie. I usually just use virgin by UD, dazzlelight by MAC, or sometimes even highlighters meant for your face, like pixi energy blush in naturally sunny or NARS albatross
it just depends what undertones, intensity, shimeriness I am going for, and ultimately, what I grab first or am already using as a brow highlight!! haha
I’m not too picky; I’ll use any light color. Lately I have been loving duochrome eyeshadows in the inner corner and to highlight with. I think they look more interesting than a regular shimmer.
I like those too – esp the ones that go from cream to pink or a lavender cast.
My absolute favorite is MAC Manilla Paper 🙂
mac ricepaper- so pretty and golden
Definitely MAC Nylon! 🙂
Eye Bright by benefit
yep!
Second that!
I use UD 24/7 pencil in either Eldorado or Honey. For more subtlety I use MAC Flip.
Lately I been using urban decay midnight cowboy 24/7 liner and smudge it so it wont look like a harsh line. It has to be done fast and not to hard so you wont “muddy” it up with any color that maybe underneath. I love it!!
Mac creme royal (hello kitty lucky tom LE palette)
Mac shroom , dazzlelight or naked luch.
Clinique day break (super shimmer eyeshdaow)
Nars abyssinia
NYC Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese (:
lancome gaze single shadow!
MAC’s Vanilla pigment and Benefit’s Miss Popularity Highlighting powder.
benefit’s miss popularity, and theres a very pretty off-white/cream shade from mac, im pretty sure its called forgery, or another very similar to it but thats all i can find right now that rings a bell on the site.. but it has massive chunky glitter, its awesome! i also love manila paper and reflects pearl..
FILAMENT not forgery, is what i was thinking of.. its chunky and sparkly and nice =] exactly what i think of when i think of filament in a light bulb
I love MAC Nylon too! Or Vanilla when I want to be subtle. 🙂
It’s a moon stone grey from an ancient Dior quint called Secret Charm. It took some time to figure out that a warm light grey is more flattering to my skin tone than the usual highlighting shades.
MAC Phloof 🙂
I like to use Mary-Lou Manizer or a MAC eye pencil like Goldenair or I Get No Kick.
nyx sahara
mac phloof
mac vanilla
can’t just pick one lol
I like a former LE (Limited Edition) Pigment from MAC called “Helium.” A very pale shimmery pink. It’s so pretty and easy to use…matches any EyeMakeup I decide to go with. LOVE IT!!! The MAC pigments last FOREVER!! ;c)
My all-time favorite is MAC Vanilla Pigment. I have a lot of others I really like though. I’m currently pretty impressed with the two light colors from the Smashbox Iconic Eyes quad.
MAC Modest Tone or Rice Paper.
Totally depends on the look, but I use Vanilla pigment pretty often. Or Grand Entrance e/s when I want a champagne highlight.
nylon & dazzlelight are my favorites.
i forgot about dazzlelight!!
Stila kitten! For sure but that’s also a great lid color so when I wear it on the lid I go with something lighter like UD virgin.
shroom
MAC Ricepaper
and CCB in Pearl
White eyeliner or just a shimmery white eyeshadow, lately I have been loving my Makeup Store “mustard”
Either TheBalm’s Mary LouManizer or MAC’s Phloof.
I like MAC Vanilla for a highlight. I’ve also used MAC Sky Blue or other bright pops of color to set off my eyes or opposite eye shadow colors.
Mac dallience. I forgot how much I loved it until this reminded me so I wore it today 🙂
Mac PowerPoint Pencil in Gilded White
Totally agree! It’s so incredible!
MAC Ricepaper for me!
At the risk of sounding like a beer advert… I don’t always highlight my inner corner, but when I do, I use whatever I used on my brow. I like the continuity of color. For an unusual touch, I also put a little pop of color in there; Sweet-N-Punchy (LE from MAC) or Lime Juice from NYX (same thing, different finish) gives a neat effect that gets compliments.
I LOVE Nylon too!
I also really love Blanc Type. Though it’s not shimmery, it brightens my eye and I really love that when I’m not wearing much shadow. 🙂
mac-shroom! my all time favourite.
MAC dazzlelight!
MAC Lily White Pigment… beautiful
I love MAC Sweet Lust!!
Bare study paint pot. I use these as long lasting eyeshadows now that it’s been so hot lately.
Urban Decay Virgin from the naked palette but i also use it on the brow bone some times. ^_^
I doubt this is actually used for this purpose, but I love to use High Beam from Benefit! It’s such a beautiful color and goes so well w/ almost any eyeshadow combo I do.
I also love MAC Manila Paper!
I usually use Virgin from the Naked palette!
I love using the ELF Studio Eye Transformer. 🙂
I love MAC Nylon, too!
This is gonna sound weird ’cause it’s not a highlighter, but…
I love Viva La Diva Magical Mystery. It’s a shimmery, sparkly lime green. I LOVE wearing it in the inner corner with a neutral eye topped with winged eyeliner and volume mascara. Reminds me so much of summer. <3
As far as to actual highlighter, I don't know 😛
Stila-Kitten…my all time fave
Love Urban Decay’s Virgin(from the Naked Palette) or MAC Phloof!
I love Tequila from the Kat Von D Palette! I reach for it most out of all my highlighter shades!
Christine, are the video ads going to be permanent on Temptalia? I hate having to find them and mute them when I open a page 🙁
Lately, I’ve been using Urban Decay’s 24/7 liner in yeyo (white). I’ve really liked the result.
Benefit Miss Popularity!
SAME!! its the best!
Mac Phloof!
Mac solar white 😀
I use MAC’s White pigment. Quite finely milled and applies smoothly.
I love using a white eyeliner pencil.
I really like using MAC CCB in pearl. It’s so reflective and bright…really makes my brown eyes pop. Nylon is a really good one too! I’ll have to bust it out and show it some love (:
Recently, I’ve been obsessed with using my Gilded White Powerpoint Pencil from the Surf, Baby! Collection to highlight the inner corner. It’s amazing!
I love the light color in the Chanel Kaska Beige Quad..
Gilded White from the MAC Surf summer collection. It’s beautiful! 🙂
I’m still searching for one I like, so I’ll be following the comments closely.
Gilded White from MAC Surf Summer collection. Such a beautiful color!! 🙂
Mac I get know Kick eye kohl
Mac I get no* Kick eye kohl
Shroom for daily use, Phloof if I want my make up to be more flashy.
Mac frozen white pigment or nyx milk jumbo pencil!
Everyday neutral looks: MAC CCB in Hush with MAC Ricepaper e/s.
Smoky dramatic looks: MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Powders
MAC phloof!
Vex or Dalliance…Vex is my new favorite highlighter and base color. I lay down a coat of vex before I apply anything!
My favorite is Urban Decay’s eyeshadow in Virgin.
CS white gel liner as it’s long-wearing & it applies sheerly, so it’s very subtle. Peek at You is also good for a subtle highlight. I love all highlight colors depending on what coordinates with shadows worn. Particularly fond of yellows & golden yellows like Crest the Wave, Dalliance, etc. Based on responses, gotta try Vanilla pigment.
MAC Shroom!
Urban Decay 24/7 shadow pencil in Sin
Nars Albatross
Stila Kitten
I’ve been using MAC Short Shorts a lot lately – love it! Today I’m using Urban Decay’s Virgin.
Also Ben Nye’s Iced Gold is really pretty too.
Sorme Brow Lift Highlighting Pencil
MAC Femme-fi
I like to use the antique gold shade from my NYX Nude on Nude palette; it looks a lot better/less harsh than white on my skintone.
MAC Nylon is my favorite.
Urban Decay’s 24×7 Eye Shadow Stick in Sin is my go-to eye-inner-corner highlighter. 🙂
I tend to reach for Make Up Forever’s sliver pencil liner and mushing it from the top inner edge, into the dark inner side of my hose/eye socket area and down to just the inner bottom corner. it seems to last the best and looks OK shimmer wise – not too much.
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, or MAC Shroom!
Is MAC’s Nylon similar to theBalm Mary Lou Manizer Luminizer? They look as though they would be similar.
Whiter, I would say – seems like it has a finer shimmer/sheen.
NARS Albatross. Totally.
I’ve been using MAC Ricepaper for so long! It’s like a light shimmery gold. I like it cause I have cooler undertones and the gold isn’t too warm or yellow
RMS living luminizer.
I like Vanilla pigment for some looks, Pink Opal pigment for others, and less often I’ll use Nylon.
TheBalm’s No Money, No Honey!! Love the pale gold color!
MAC Peek-at-you from Peacocky Collection
Virgin or Sin by Urban Decay
MAC Vanilla pigment
MAC Shroom or UD Virgin – both look similar on me!
Been loving the following highlighters for inner corner, really just depends on which one I grab first: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese, MAC Shroom, NARS Albatross 🙂
I like Inglot P395, subtle and long lasting~ Is it similar to Nylon?
For some reason, I seem to be an ongoing collector of eyeshadow highlighters – but the ones that are coming to mind right now are Stila Moonlight, Fyrinnae Shinkirou, Lorac Liquid Lustre, and Benefit Eye Bright.
Illamasqua’s pure pigment in Furore is my favourite 🙂
MAC Nylon, Phloof! and Vanilla Pigment!!!
XOXO
UD sellout
MAC Shroom/Naked Lunch/Gilded White pencil/I Get No Kick pencil. Virgin from the Naked palette. Benefit’s Eye Bright.
On my tan skin, the peachy pink shade from Smashbox’s eyeshadow trio in Headshot complements my inner corner quite nicely.
Envious Erin from The Balm
I’m waaaaay late to the party, but I’ll try anyway- I have tons of colours that I’m sure would be lovely to highlight the inner corner of my eye, but I don’t really know how to go about doing this. Can anybody recommend their favourite eyeshadow brush for accomplishing this?
me too. cant get the hang of putting highlight in the inner corners 🙁
I’ve been loving MAC Naked Lunch.
i like thebalm mary-lou manizer 🙂
I love Sephora aspen summit and mac Jest
Benefit EyeBright and the white color from Chanel’s Ombres Perlées palette.
I love MAC Naked pigment because it’s not as stark as a plain white, but it still had a nice shimmer to it.
