  • 2018 Mid-Year Makeup Inventory | Highlighters

    July 11, 2018

    Hi Everyone!

    Continuing my makeup inventory, today’s post is on highlighters! Check out my other mid-year makeup roundup!

    Primers & Foundations | Bronzers | Blushes | Mascaras | Highlighters

    Current inventory:

    • 12 powder highlighters
    • 1 liquid strobe highlighter from Milk Makeup

    You can never have too many highlighters, especially when you can get different shades and you can use highlighter as eyeshadow too. I won’t be putting a makeup buying ban on highlighters.

    Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter in Pink

    I love this, it’s creamy and gorgeous. I will definitely be picking up other shades of this highlighter.

    Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in 100 Molten Gold

    This is a fave of mine. I would definitely pick up another shade since this is a bit too dark for my skintone.

    Wet N Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals

    This is beautiful. I wish I could get other shades of this highlighter, but that’s all that was left in stock at Rexall.

    Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin

    I got this as a rewards bonus from Sephora. It’s really pretty and the nicest out of the higher end ones that I have. I don’t think I would pick up the full-size because there are so many pretty drugstore highlighters.

    Clionadh Cosmetics Marble Highlighter in Mother of Pearl (read my review)

    I picked this up at Indie Expo Canada. It’s a gorgeous marble highlighter. It’s more of a fun highlighter since it has different colours- it looks purple, but when you move it in the light, it changes.

    Stila All Over Shimmer Powder

    I picked this up at Winners. I don’t think I’d pay full price for it. The darker shade in the duo is beautiful, but the lighter one is a bit powdery. When mixed together though, they make a beautiful rosy gold shade.

    Essence Light Up Your Face Luminizer Palette (read my review)

    I really want to try the Pure Nude Highlighter by Essence which I plan to pick up at some point. One of the shades in this palette is kind of chunky which I don’t love.

    MAC X Star Trek Trip the Light Fantastic Powder in Luna Luster

    When I first swatched this, I was surprised that it wasn’t buttery. It’s actually better to use a fan brush with this one so that it can disperse the shimmer nicely. If you used your finger, you’d get a splotch of shimmer in one spot of your face. This highlighter looks better when wet.

    H&M Spotlight Glow Powder in Sumptuous Peach (read my review)

    The pan of this is huge and it’s a beautiful highlighter for a brand that’s known for clothing.

    Inglot x Jennifer Lopez Livin’ the Highlight Illuminator in J201 Radiant (read my review)

    I prefer to use this as a body highlighter since it’s a loose highlight.

    Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Halo

    This is kind of chunky which was surprising since it’s Bobbi Brown. After using the blush, bronzer and highlighter, I don’t think I would pick up a Bobbi Brown product from any of those categories. If I were to get a Bobbi Brown product, it’d be an eyeshadow palette or skincare-related products like primer and foundation.

    Smashbox Blush Soft Lights Duo in Passion/Shimmer

    This highlighter is pretty, but it’s a bit powdery, if you wet your brush, it looks better. The duo would be great for travel since it has a blush and a highlighter.

    Physician’s Formula Pink, Smashbox Shimmer, Stila Shimmer (light shade, dark shade, both shades mixed), Essence Light Up Your Face Palette (3 shades), Wet N Wild Precious Petals
    Bobbi Brown Halo, H&M Sumptuous Peach, Clionadh Mother of Pearl, Urban Decay Sin, Mac X Star Trek Luna Luster, Maybelline Molten Gold, Inglot x J Lo Radiant

    The prettiest highlighters were actually the drugstore ones (in my opinion). I prefer the wet look instead of chunky, shimmery highlighters. My favourites are the Maybelline Master Chrome, Wet N Wild MegaGlo and Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter.

    I realized that I forgot to include the Milk Makeup Liquid Strobe Highlighter in the swatches. If you want to see the swatch, you can read my review on it.

    Love,
