If you are all about that subtle/natural glow, maybe in general or as part of a "no makeup" makeup look, then this particular cream based highlighter is perfect for that. MAC stock a wide range of different shades in this product, but the shade pearl is a favourite of mine as it is the most beautiful sheer pale gold with a slight icy-like shimmer to it. To achieve a more intense look with this product i like to apply the extra dimension skinfinish in the shade doublegleam with a fan brush, as they compliment each other well.
If you don't really want to splash the cash on the MAC cream colour base, then this strobe balm from Makeup Revolution is almost identical and it is only £5. The only difference i would say there was between the two products is that the strobe balm is slightly easier to work with, as it is more of thinner "balm" consistency.
Last year these particular palettes from Sleek were well talked about in the beauty community on social media, especially the solstice palette. That being said my favourite for the cream shades is the precious metals palette, as it contains three stunning easy to work with cream shades. Unlike the two products above, these are definitely more of a blinding highlight. Last year i did a full haul/review post on the palettes here.
maybelline master strobe liquid in the shade medium
If cream highlight isn't really the type of product for you, then another alternative is more of a liquid consistency highlight like the strobe liquid from maybelline. The shade medium is my favourite, as it is the most stunning nude/bronze shade and we all know they are my kind of tones. As this product is a liquid highlight you can even add a tiny amount to your foundation, rather than just applying it to the high points of your face.
estée lauder genuine glow eyelighting creme in the shade sweetest thing
These particular creme highlighter pens from estée lauder were a favourite of mine last summer, so much so i had to pick up all three shades. They are such a fuss free/easy to use product, with a twist up to use concept and an applicator similar to the maybelline age rewind concealer, where it does most of the blending out as your apply. This particular shade is my favourite from the three, as it is the most beautiful golden/bronze shade.
maybelline master strobing stick in the shade light
As i had picked the shade medium in the strobe liquid, i decided to pick up the shade light in the strobing stick as i bought both products at the same time. As this is a strobing stick and not a liquid, it is more of a thick cream-like consistency that can be applied either straight to the face and blended out with a beauty blender, or simply rub some products onto your finger and pat into the skin, which happens to be my favourite way.
