makeup question

I use this MAC highlighter (at least I think it is a highlighter) It's a pot that's bigger than their normal eye shadows. I use it in the corner of my eyes to brighten , and I want to use it on my brow bone, but it doesn't show up like I want it to. I also like it on my lid sometimes, but after a few hours it creates those crease lines in my lid. I want something that is kind of shiny and bright that I can use as a highlighter but not have it be so creamy like what I am using now.

Any suggestions?

Is the highlighter a cream? Im not familiar with it...

---

Yes, it's of creamy consistancy. I can't find it on the website, they redid the website and it's too hard for me to go looking through it hah

I always use a primer. This seams to help any creases.

I cant use cream eyeshadows. Its just a giant crease when I put it on. I usually put foundation on my eyelids before I put on a powder shadow...maybe that will help

Do you use Primer? That should make it not crease.

---

I have always heard of that, but I don't know if it will work if I use the creamy highlighter with it.

I don't think it's meant for the whole eye lid, but I put it on b/c I like the way it blends when I do my shadow. It just starts to crease.

I also can't wear any foundation on my face b/c I break out, so I use bare minerals, and I don't think that will help with the creasing.

I am also looking for a highlighter to use that isn't creamy, but not too sparkly.

Are you just looking for a regular highlighter? Try High Beam by Benefit.

its by lancome, just regular type of white eyeshadow that comes in an eyeshadow case with about 2-4 colors

I use an eyeshadow from MAC as a highlighter....vex. It is not white but just subtle shimmer, not silver either, hard to explain but I love it! I use it on my eyelid and brow area and also use trax (subtle eggplantish) in the crease. I have used this combination for years!

Whatever you do, dont get retrospeck, its not a good highlighter (but was recommended as one)

Oh goodness, I have used TRAX before, and I felt it was too flakey/sparkly for me. I didn't like it. I used to use Woodwinked in my crease from MAC, but I ran out and I haven't had the money to splurge on makeup right now lol

I just want that brow bone shimmer that I see all the celebrities have.

Ok then I like vex for highlighting but may be too sparkly?

ASLO DID YOU CHANGE YOUR SCREEN NAME!? I AM CONFUSED LOL!
