Highlighter for everyday wear

Anabelle

I'm looking for a subtle highlighter for everyday wear that's not too shimmery.

For night time I use The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, and I also have a mini high beam by benefit, but I find that these are too bling/shimmery/glittery for daytime.

After some googling Mac Mineralize skinfinish has been suggested, but I'm unsure which one would be suitable for very pale skin, if any.

i use this daily.. or your could try catrice prime and refine?

Soap and glory have a nice subtle face powder, glow all out. I have the balm too but find it too much for day time. The soap and glory one is perfect for daytime IMO

Plus one for Soap and Glory Glow All Out. I use that for daytime, it's nice but subtle.

Another vote for the Soap and glory one here.

I have this ELF palette and use it on my work face - it's quite subtle and it's cheap!

I've been very pleasantly surprised by Catrice prime and fine powder highlighter, they also do a little stick one which looks fab!

I have a TON of highlighters and honestly MAC Skinfinish Natural is the best day time one, the trick is to buff it on on the places you want it to look more shimmery and it gives a really natural glow without loads of glitter!

Soap & Glory is lovely but glittery, Catrice is a great budget option but I'd honestly go with MAC! I'm very pale too by the way!

Which colour in the MAC one would you recommend?

Catrice Fine and Prime Highlighting powder...it's about 3 or 4 euro available from Dunnes and it's as good as MAC Mineralize Skinfinish!

No recommendations as I'm currently on the hunt for one myself but I'd give the MAC a thumbs down. I have it at the moment and I don't like it at all, it just doesn't work for me despite its cult following.

Anabelle

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will have a look at the soap and glory and catrice ones when I am in town next

Can I ask which colour you were using?

I was using soft and gentle. I just found it very chalky. I'm getting some use out of it as a brow highlight but I wouldn't put it near my cheeks or use it for contouring, etc. I definitely wouldn't repurchase, though. Maybe I just picked the wrong shade because it seems to be amazing for everyone else!

I'm loving the MUA highlighter from their Undress your Skin range. I wear it every day, lovely light, buildable shimmer.

I have and use for daytime mineralise skinfinish natural in light and then use a dab of lightscapade!

I'm hearing very mixed reviews about the Mac especially after reading some reviews online.

I'm not sure if one of the Bobbi Brown Brightening Finishing Powder would be suitable for a highlighter. Anyone used these ?

@SmokeyEyes, just noticed you had a blog there and had a quick look. Do you have a review of Lightscapade?
