Face Highlighters

Overview

Every company is jumping on the highlighting bandwagon. And every company claims they have the best one. Today I will show you some of those highlighters, and a few blushes.

Products

One of the most talked about highlighter's around right now is one by Becca, called

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector® Pressed - Champagne Pop. This is limited edition so it was already sold out at my local Sephora.

Another favorite that I use all the time is the Nars blush in a color called Albatross. It is used as a highlighter on the check bones and any where on your want your face that you want to give it a pop of shimmer.

A recent purchase is a duo blush by Nars in the colors, Orgasm/ Laguna. The effect is a peachy-pink shimmer for Orgasm and a  sheer light brown shimmer for the Laguna color.

I hope you guys liked my little tid-bit on blush and highlighters. See you soon!

Tricks and Tips for Even Skin Tone

Problem

Recently I took a trip to the dermatologist for some advise on creating an even skin tone and getting rid of the dark circles under my eyes. Nobody likes to take off their make up and look like a totally different person. That scares people. lol, kidding but it's not a good look at all.

Recommended Advice

According to my dermatologist, to have the look of an even skin tone using over the counter face cream with 2% hydroquinone would help. She stated that over time my face will have the appearance of an even skin tone. Also the sun creates the unevenness on our skin. I also purchased 50 SPF sunscreen for my face.

As for the dark circles my dermatologist claims that there is nothing out that can lighten the appearance of dark circles only make concealer. That was disappointing. I will try to get more sleep.

Solution

Every morning after I wash my face I apply the 2% hydroquinone cream and 50 SPF sunscreen. 

Face cream with 2% hydroquinone

Active Ingredient: Hydroquinone 2.0%

Uses: For treatment of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Sun screen 50 SPF

Results

I have not noticed any dramatic changes in brightness or even tones of my face. But I have noticed that my skin was irritated, so I reduced the frequency, I was using the dark spot fade creme to every other day instead of everyday.
