I’ve been wearing this highlighter so much I’ve actually made a visible dent in the thing (since taking these photos) which never happens for me.Mineralize Skinfinish | MAC Australia icon-MAC-logo icon icon-add-dark icon icon-add-light icon icon-afterpay icon icon-arrow-left-lrg-black icon icon-arrow-left-lrg-white icon icon-arrow-left-white icon icon-arrow-left icon icon-arrow-right-lrg-black icon icon-arrow-right-lrg-white icon icon-arrow-right-white icon icon-arrow-right icon icon-bag-white icon icon-bag icon icon-bars icon icon-chat icon icon-check icon icon-chevron-down icon icon-chevron-up icon icon-close-thick icon icon-close icon icon-deliver icon icon-filter icon icon-gift icon icon-heart icon icon-home icon icon-house icon icon-info icon icon-lipstick icon icon-marker icon icon-minus icon icon-pause icon icon-play-outline icon icon-play-light icon icon-play icon icon-plus icon icon-products icon icon-search-white icon icon-search icon icon-social-facebook icon icon-social-instagram icon icon-social-pinterest icon icon-social-ticktok icon icon-social-twitter icon icon-social-youtube icon icon-star icon icon-user-white icon icon-user icon Although I’m highly debating coating my gams in the stuff the next time I go out and want my legs to be center of attention.
This is when a highlighter becomes a bit too dark for me. But, you work it up a bit and the almost reddish tones come out and you really get that bronzed effect. When you apply lightly, the tone stays light and could read as champagne-y in certain lights. You can see in the photo above the closer swatch is the highlighter heavily applied, and the farther one is a light application.
The key for getting a golden highlighter like this to work on my pale-ish skin is to apply lightly. I’ve been applying it haphazardly to my cheekbones, collarbones, the bridge of my nose, I’ve even been doing the cupids bow thing. But for now? I’m living for the warm golden look. I’m thinking that in winter when I fade back into a skintone closer to that of a standard piece of paper this highlight would be a bit too bronze for me. And the yellow tone? It’s pretty perfect for summer. It’s not bright enough to screw with the brightness in photos (you know those highlights?) but it’s still shiny enough to make a point. Although it looks wild gold in the pan and I’m more of an icy champagne highlight kind of gal, I’m in love with this highlighter.īAM.
But the second I got my hot little hands on the * MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Oh Darling! I knew it was something special. Also I’m not really one of those super-glam makeup-ers and I can live happily with the oily sheen my skin makes all on it’s own to grace my cheekbones.
Partly to do with the fact that I live in hothumidsweatcity New Orleans and rarely need the extra gleam on my face. Well I tell ya, it’s not every day that a highlighter gets it’s own love song around these parts. This post contains PR samples and affiliate links.
