My Current Top 5 Highlighters

Highlighters are one of my favourite makeup items, anything that aims to give your face that 'lit from within' look or healthy summer glow is a defo for me!! I'm always trying out new highlighters but these 5 are the ones that I always seem to grab for and have become firm favourites for me.



Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Cream

 First up is Jemma Kidd's all over radiance cream- a beautiful cream highlighter that gives a beautiful sheen to the skin. This is not at all over powering but when it catches the light gives you that wonderful healthy glow. Every time I wear this all my girlies comment on my skin and ask what I'm wearing which makes me feel that it's living up to its job very well :) Unfortunately Jemma Kidd is no longer making her makeup range which is soo sad as her products are amazing but if you can get your hands on any that are lingering around online I would snap it up and give it a try. I stocked up as soon as I heard. My favourite of the 2 shades is the Rose Gold, however the Ice Gold is equally as beautiful, though may be more suitable for fairer skin.

Dior Amberdiamond

Next up is Diors Amberdiamond, I've posted about this before and it's such a hyped product in the beauty world and for good reason. The golden pinky shades work beautifully together and would compliment many skin tones. I love swirling all the shades together and popping them on the apples of my cheeks and sweeping them across the cheekbones. It's gorgeous and the packaging alone feels luxurious :) It's not very shimmery and is very subtle but succeeds in giving you that healthy glow-definitely one to try if your passing a counter any time soon.

Mac Mineralise Skinfinish in Smooth Merge

Again this is limited addition but I'm always on the look out for it online or if they bring it out with another collection. This has been a favourite of mine for ages, the colours, pigmentation and way it sits on the skin is gorgeous!! The lightest shade of pink is a bit similar to Macs Porcelain Pink that they just brought back in the recent Apres Chic collection but is a little more vibrant. I usually wear this at the top of the cheekbones. The dark pink shade is equally as beautiful and again very pigmented, you only need the tiniest amount and the pay off is incredible. The golden colour is also a very wearable shade, personally when I wear these colours all swirled together and the pay off is incredible-however if your not one for too much shimmer then go for the Dior as this does have quite a bit running through it, as with most of the msfs. 

Mac Creme Colour Base in Hush and Impropper Copper

You can't really go wrong with MAC cream colour bases, they are very easy to wear and have a few different shades to choose from depending on your skin tone. I love impropper copper because of its subtle coral undertones that highlight the skin with the warm golden subtle shimmer. Check them out next time you sweep past a MAC counter and select the best shade for your skin tone.

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Illuminating Powder Gelee

This highlighter was brought out with the Modern Mercury collection and the formula is their wonderful powder gelee formulations. I am in love with these formulas, the pigmentation and pay off on the skin. This was the first of these formulations I tried out and it did not disappoint. The colour is a rose gold shade and can be worn heavy or light depending on what you prefer. It looks amazing on the skin and would be very complimentary on many skintones. They tend to bring out many of the powder gelee formulations with their collections and they are definitely worth checking them out, I've got a couple of their eyeshadows and the bronzes sands palette and they are equally as beautiful.

Let me know your top 5 highlighters :) Next on my wish list is Hourglass Illume highlighter and bronzer duo xxxxx

Topshop Eye Makeup

I talked about these topshop beauties in a haul at the beginning of the year and since trying them out for the what feels like the longest month of January I am still as impressed as when I first swatched them in store.

Lets begin with the eye crayon in the colour mystical, a gorgeous shimmery taupe colour. It's so soft and pigmented and doesn't budge when I apply it so you need to get blending quickly when you apply it but staying power is impressive. This shade would suit all eye colours and is so easy to wear, I like to wear it all over the lid with Macs antiqued in the crease as the colours really compliment each other. These little beauties are £6.50 and worth every penny. I already have marble on my list a gorgeous shimmery rose gold colour that looks like a great all over lid colour.

Next up is Topshops eye kohl in the colour Saddle, a beautiful rich brown with a small glimmer of gold running through it. I initially wasnt intending on picking up a brown eye kohl, I always wear black in my waterline as my eyes are quite dark but I swatched this beauty and the slight golden undertone had me sold. Again its really creamy and pigmented and the lovely rich colour would look stunning on all eyes, especially thoses beautiful light eyed girlies. I like to wear this along my lash line to compliment my eyeshadows and usually wear it with a golden colour and sometimes use it on the lid. These bargain beauties are only £4, which I think is amazing for the pay off you get. If your passing a Topshop anytime soon definitely give the makeup range a swatch, I'm going to check out the lip products next :)

Lots of Love xxxxx
