Travel-friendly Highlighter

The secret of makeup artists to make celebrities' face look so luminous and radiant is using a highlighter. This secret weapon comes in loose powders, pressed powders, gels, sticks, and now even in papers! Yup! Papers! I recently subscribed to Ipsy (formerly My Glam Bag) which is a monthly service that delivers beauty related samples to try products and/or discover new ones. This month one of the products were this really cool highlighter papers from Mai Couture. They come in a small handy notebook that is perfect to throw in your purse or to travel. At the end of the notebook there is an illustration that shows the areas where you should apply the product, like for example the top of your cheekbones and in your brow bone (my personal favorite places to apply it). I prefer using powder highlighter for daily use, but I also think this is a really clever, fast application, and easy to carry around product. It has a soft shimmer that attracts light to those areas of your face you want to stand out and I love that the shimmer is subtle and not big chunks of sparkle. Another positive point of this product is that they are paraben and talc free. You must be warned though that your fingers will get shimmer too so be aware of that and clean your hands after using them if you are bothered by it. Apart from that, I really recommend giving them a try since they are really easy to use and give a gorgeous look to your skin.
