This is a staple in my makeup bag. Keeping with my "glowing skin" theme, I'd like to introduce you to Moon Beam by Benefit Cosmetics. I'm always trying to achieve the minimal makeup, natural, clean, fresh and glowing skin look, so I have tons of moisturizers and highlighters. This is my all-time favorite highlighter in liquid form. Benefit has two different versions of this highlighter ~ one is called High Beam and the one I'm featuring is, of course, the magnificent Moon Beam. High Beam is mainly for fair skin tones; it's a little on the pearly, silver, white side. It's beautiful on certain skin tones, but it didn't give my skin a warm and natural glow. I had to be careful how much I applied to avoid looking like a disco ball. Moon Beam has peachy, purple, pink, and golden iridescence all in one. It is absolutely breathtaking with olive to darker skin tones. It also has no glitter or shimmer which I love because that looks ridiculous, in my opinion. It also doesn't make my face look oily, which is another pet peeve of mine. First of all, the product comes in a small glass bottle and the wand looks exactly like a nail polish brush, so cute :) I've had my current bottle for a year and a half and I'm not even halfway finished. You only use a teeny tiny bit of this product, so it lasts forever. When I apply Moon Beam, I swipe over my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, my brow bones, the inner corners of my eyes and right at my cupid's bow (the area on your top lip when it makes a heart shape), then I blend it in with my fingers and let me tell you, the subtle and beautiful glow that I get is stunning. People will not notice that you are wearing highlighter; only that certain parts of your face are catching a beautiful light. Sometimes, I apply this over my foundation and use it without blush, sometimes I wear it over my blush, sometimes I mix it with my moisturizer to make my very own tinted moisturizer, sometimes I add it to my foundation as an illuminizer, sometimes I wear it alone ~ you can use it however you choose and you will always get the warmest, most luminous, most beautiful glow ever.
