You've probably already heard others say it but 2016 is meant to be the year of the glow.
Yes, most of us already got on the highlight hype towards the end of 2015 but the year mainly consisted online searching 'how to contour like Kim K'. This year we are moving on a little. Don't get me wrong, my contour kits are going no where, they're simply just taking a back seat so an array of highlighters can shine through (cringe word play I know, I'm sorry).
MUA- Undress your skin
Not everyone wants to, or can afford to, lay out a lot of money every time a new trend arises. Here I am to offer an option that you may appreciate as it retails at just £3 from Superdrug. I'm firstly going to recommend that you to apply this with a dabbing motion using your finger rather than a sweeping motion using a brush as this can lead to a very uneven and messy appearing highlight. Out of the three products in this post I would say this can be made to look the most natural due to a warming pink tone to it, as long as you stick to the dabbing motion it can give you either a subtle shimmer or can be built to create a more eye catching highlight.
The Balm- Mary-Lou manizer
I'm pretty sure this choice comes as no surprise to you, considering it is the most raved about of the moment! If anyone ever asks for an intense highlight then this is the product I automatically go to. If I'm being completely honest, this is my absolute favourite highlighter as I seems to make me feel my most goddess/angel like whilst wearing it. If you are looking for a very pigmented, full on highlight then this is definitely worth £17.50 out of your bank account!
Mac- Mineralize skinfinish in Soft & gentle
First things first I'm making this clear, if you don't like highlighters which are very glittery then this one is not for you. I would say this differs quite a bit from the previous due to it being more of a peachy-pink tone. A light brush of this across your cheeks and you then have subtle highlight which will leave your face looking radiant and healthy. It may come with a more expensive price tag of £24 but I would say it's so worth it!
So there you go, make the glow work for you! I hope you enjoy my first ever post, I'd love to hear your opinions on it. Follow if you want. FH x
