With warmer temperatures a solid five months away, our skin can turn dull and dry…so Fall is a time where the phrase “fake it ‘til you make it” rings oh so true!
Kiss drab Fall skin goodbye with my favourite skin highlighters. From save to splurge, these products will transform you back into that summery dewy-skinned goddess, sans UV rays.
*Please excuse the serial killer-style writing on the above image. My Photoshop wasn’t working, so a girl’s gotta improvise.
1) Caryl Baker’s highlighting stick in ‘Icelandic Glow’:
From their holiday collection, Caryl Baker’s Icelandic Glow highlighting stick is fabulous. I have not been to Iceland but if this is how everyone naturally looks there, sign me up and ship me out. Just the right level of radiance without looking like you are radioactive, this product will dew you up perfectly during these cooler months.
2) Clé de Peau Beauté limited edition stick highlighter in “Light Me’ – $95
From their jaw-droppingly gorgeous Holiday Collection, ‘Féeries D’Hiver’ with package design created in collaboration with Italian illustrator, Daria Petrilli, this stick highlighter is like nothing I’ve tried before. Now, before we get into the product, if you have time to explore the stunning website created for the collection, do it. Time not wasted.
Now, back to this perfect product. It smooths onto the skin and almost blurs the look of lines and pores. Highlighters can accentuate pores, but this does the opposite due to it’s ultrafine texture. Creamy and blendable, this highlighter is subtle and looks really so so natural. A definite splurge, this shouts ‘treat yo self’.
3) stila’s Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in ‘Kitten’
The shade, Kitten, has been a favourite of mine for at least 20 years. One of the first eyeshadow colours I bought on repeat, I hold a special place for this colour in my heart…and on my face.
Heaven’s Hue Highlighters come in 8 shades for all skin tones, but for a fair girl like myself, Kitten is the only game in town. I love the feel of this product – almost bouncy to the touch. It melts right into my skin and gives me a perfect ‘lit-from-within’ look.
4) Quo’s Illuminating Drops in ‘Champagne Pearl’
Quo is one of those brands I think people often overlook when perusing the aisles of Shoppers. But stop doing that!! Quo is packed with hits and their products are not only perfectly priced but the line carries all the latest trend shades in stunning packaging.
I think their Illuminating Drops are key. With these a little dot will create the most mesmerizing streak of illuminescent splendour. Perfect when mixed with a matte foundation or bounced into the skin using a damp Beauty Blender; liquid drops are a quick and impactful way to dew up that Fall Skin.
Get dewy, Friends! Don’t let Fall steal your shine.
