Here’s exactly how I utilize ’em to produce my own shimmery, J. Lo-inspired glow.

But first, a bit background. Both High Beam as well as Moon Beam have been around for years… Back in the day (uh, 1999), High Beam was my gateway highlighter drug. As soon as I saw that sexy, shimmery glow on my skin, I was hooked.

Ever because then I’ve had mad like for these liquid highlighters. They’re simple and easy to apply as well as to blend — completely fantastic for highlighting virgins.

A money-saving bonus? — There’s no requirement to throw down for an additional clean since these cuties include a practical applicator.

High Beam Brush

Doesn’t it look like a nail polish brush?

Used to apply the highlighters directly on the skin, the semi-firm clean head draws lines as well as dots with ease.

Swatches from delegated right: High Beam, Moon Beam

Ready, set, draw!

It turns out these lines, dots as well as stripes are totes essential to great application.

To start, I location some dots on my left temple, best temple as well as chin. Then, I swipe a stripe down the bridge of my nose. Next, on each cheekbone, I draw two short, parallel lines.

I typically do all of this on top of foundation as well as powder since I don’t have perfect skin. If you do, (jealous!) you can most likely get away with applying to bare skin.

Where I location my dots as well as stripes

I end up looking a lil’ something like this:

Seriously, why are my nails so TRAGIC?

To finish, all I do is blend with my fingers up until it’s totally absorbed into my skin, taking care to diffuse any type of visible edges.

Bingo! — an improv J. Lo glow in less than a minute.

Bonus tip: have a liquid blush like benefit Benetint ($28) or Posietint ($28) on hand? One great thing I like to do is location two dots of blush inside parallel lines on my cheekbones. It adds a light flush to cheeks.

Heißes Zeug

We’re in the midst of one more hot one out right here today…

Poor Tabs set up shop on the somewhat cooler restroom floor. The tiles should be a few degrees cooler than the carpet.

For the record, it’s difficult to utilize the loo while a feline provides you filthy looks.

Speaking of hot stuff, metropolitan Decay just released some new holiday goodies on UrbanDecay.com. December seems so far away, however I don’t understand if I can wait on Saint Nick to hook me up, LOL!

Right now I’ve got my eagle eye on the show pony shadow Box ($30),24/7 very stock ($39), Smoke Out set in Yerba ($34) as well as the Apocalyptic nail set ($25).

Is it as well early to compose a Christmas list?
