 These are some of my go to products I use for highlighting my cheeks and brows.

Too Faced Candlelight- is a finely milled powder that gives a nice glow to the cheeks. (4)

Sephora Light Beam-is the perfect under eye highlight after applying concealer. (4)

M.A.C Flicker-is great for highlighting the cheeks and under the brow. It has just the right amount of sparkle. (5)

NARS Miss Liberty (5) and E.L.F. Gotta Glow (5)-are both blushes but I use them to highlight my cheekbones.

 Review

I originally bought this with the intent of using it as a highlight for my cheekbones. If your using a liquidation this is excellent. However if you are a Bare minerals original foundation girl, this can come off ashy. If you have large pores steer clear. However pretty this powder appears to be. It may not work for you so please do your research and not just purchase this on a whim. It is quite pricey, although I got it half off on HauteLook. Intermediate to Professional makeup artist and enthusiast my know how to correctly apply this powder. But I do not recommend this for someone just dipping their feet into highlighting techniques. A good brush is key as this powder is fine and smooth. I love how it feels on the skin. It is long lasting, and I experienced no skin irritation. This particular shade has peachy undertones which come off ashy on my skin tone, but I think it maybe because I was using a powder foundation underneath. Skin prep is key. 

The powder comes in a sturdy mirrored compact with a thin application sponge. 

This powder is suitable for fair to tan skin tones.
