Lighten Up!


Highlighters in my opinion are grossly under appreciated and under used! This could be because the general public is reluctant to add shine to their everyday makeup routine, however what they would love to know is that highlighters can blur the line between pretty and perfect, let me tell you why. Iridescence in liquid foundations, mineral makeups and other highlighting products can create a flawless look with the help of tiny microscopic mirrors that reflect light. Have you ever looked at a picture from the summer when your cheeks had that dewy extra pretty glow from the combination of the heat and of course outdoor lighting? Well, that is a look you can achieve by adding a touch of highlighting foundation, blush or any other lighting product to the areas where the light would naturally hit first. Highlighters can also be used to create depth and contour. My favorite irridecence product is
Cargo's Eyelighter, this product can be used to give the illusion of bigger and brighter eyes by adding a touch of product on the inner, outer and brow area.

Some other great highlighting products to try:
