Look Glowy this Winter

With Winter in full speed, I truly love to take advantage of my highlighting products.  The areas of the face commonly highlighted are the center of the forehead, the bridge of the nose, Cupid's bow, the center of the chin, and of course, the cheek bones.  When these areas are highlighted properly, the skin looks so healthy, glowy (I don't think that's even a word, but we'll make it work), and awake.

There are a number of products that can be used to achieve this glowy skin.  I've even used eye shadows as highlighters.  Below are some of my favorites:

From left to right: Bobbi Brown Rose, Bobbi Brown Sandstone, Becca Rose Gold, Becca Opal, and Burberry Golden Radiance.

Here are the swatches:

Bobbi Brown Rose - this is a very subtle rosy shimmer with a slight hint of gold sparkle

Bobbi Brown Sandstone - this is more of a beige-gold shimmer that is more intense than Rose and looks beautiful on all skin tones

Burberry Golden Radiance - this color is actually a bit darker than it shows up in the picture above and is less shimmery than the Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks.  This color is somewhat of a bronze shade that works better on darker skin tones.  My only complaint is that the fragrance on this product is strong and lingers for a long time.

Becca Opal - this color has a more yellow base and the shimmer is quite intense and so beautiful.  Again, this one will compliment all skin tones.

Becca Rose Gold - the name says it all.  This color is such a gorgeous rose gold that will looks amazing on all skin tones.

Last but certainly not least is a cream product.  This one is Giorgio Armani Fluid  Sheer in the color 2.  This is a very pale golden shimmery highlight that looks great on its own or can be applied under a powder highlight for a more dramatic effect.  This highlight is just absolutely gorgeous.  This one is quite pricey but worth every penny because a little goes a long way, which will last a very long time. I use mine almost everyday, I've had it for close to a year now, and it's still going strong.

Happy New Year!
