My Current Bronzer and Highlighter

I will admit, I owe my current bronzer and highlighter selections to Estée Lalonde of essiebutton.com/essiebutton (YouTube channel/Twitter handle). She is very fair-skinned like I am and after seeing her rave about these two products I decided I needed to get my hands on them, especially for the winter when I’m even paler than usual. Both of these products come in different (darker) shades. These are both quality products, the powder is finely milled so it never looks like you have a bunch of powder on your face.

Bronzer: The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in 01 Light Matte

            You can get this in stores at The Body Shop or at their online store. My friend Ashley got this for me for my birthday (Thanks, Ash! J). The packaging and product are really nice—the product is actually pressed to look like a honeycomb. This is the perfect shade of bronzer for me. Bronzers tend to either look orange or muddy on me since I am so fair, but this is perfect. It gives a hint of warmth without actually making it look like I have bronzer on. I put this on with an angled blush brush around the perimeter of my face to bronze and in the shallows of my cheeks (make a fishy face and put bronzer in the concaved part) to contour.

Highlighter: the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter, Shadow & Shimmer

            the Blam has cute and cheeky packaging. They put a lot of effort into all their packaging  (e.g., Mary-Lou Manizer instead of luminzer, the matte eyeshadows in the Meet Matt(e) palette are all named Matt with different last names) and I love the products I have from them. This highlighter gives a nice luminosity to the skin; it has never looked like I have glitter on my face or anything like that. I put this on the top of my cheekbones to make them pop and sometimes on my brow bone and in the inner corner of my eyes.  It is champagne-colored, but on my skin it doesn’t really have a color, just a nice glow. I got this at the Amazon Beauty Shop. the Balm is hard to find in stores, I’ve only seen a couple products at Kohl’s…so Amazon it is!
