Makeup Mondays #8 :: Highlighter
Mar 11, 2013 / Makeup Mondays
If you aren't using a highlighter, you really should try to! I think of highlighting powder as my 'secret weapon' in making my skin look luminous, as well as helping with contouring.
I just bought a brand new highlighting powder that I absolutely love. Like many Chanel products, this is limited edition, meaning once it's gone, it's gone. Boo! But until it's gone, I'll keep on loving it!
When I just went to search for the link for it - it's actually ALREADY out of stock on Chanel.com. So if you want this, you better hurry! I found it at Nordstrom (link below.)
So, the highlighting powder I'm currently obsessing over is (lets get all foreign language and fancy here) Chanel's POUDRE SIGNÉE DE CHANEL ILLUMINATING POWDER.

Aside from being one gaw-geous compact of makeup (Chanel really gets how important branding and packaging is, don't they?) this stuff is to. die. for.
A good highlighting powder is hard to find, and once you do find it, it's impossible to live without it.
Here's a few ways I use my highlighting powder!
A good highlighting powder is hard to find, and once you do find it, it's impossible to live without it.
Here's a few ways I use my highlighting powder!
1) Right under my brow bone.
2) On the tip of my nose.
3) On my chin and forehead.
I also use this right after I put my bronzer on to soften the lines of my bronzer a little before I put my blush on. When you combine bronzer + highlighter you can do some major contouring and in my case, I like to 'fake up' some cheekbones, and slim down my nose. When I talk about bronzers, all the pieces of the puzzle should come together. In the meantime, you could probably get a head start and pin that contouring picture of Kim Kardashian on Pinterest. :) I must see it a million times.
So I hope you'll find a highlighter you love and start using it. Get glowing! {So corny, I know.}
