Using Highlighter

If you have never seen the effects of highlighter on your face, you are missing out!  Just dabbing it on the orbital bone under your eye, from corner to hairline, can instantly make you look like you have just gotten 9-hours of sleep.

Put it on after your moisturizer, but before your make-up.  Start in the inner corner of your eye.  Apply as you move along the orbital bone, above your cheek, and end between your hairline and the outer corner of the eye.  Then apply your concealer and the rest of your regular makeup.  Or you can just wear it alone without makeup if you need to.  That's a great start.

I also like to dab some right along the bridge of my nose and then anywhere I have red patches (yes, I have red patches).  I actually get comments about how refreshed I look when I have done the whole routine.

The product I like to use is Benefit's Moonbeam.  No foolin'.  I have been using it for years.  Now, you know that Benefit is one of our sponsers, but that doesn't mean that I don't really love the product or that I am even getting paid to use it--'cause I'm not.  However, I do want to give you a code where you can get this must-have for FREE:

Celebrate the new world of gorgeous at BenefitCosmetics.com with your choice of gift with $50 order! Choose either ooh la lift (use code LIFTMEUP) or free moon beam (use code HIGHMOON). Offer valid through 9/2/11.

I don't know personally about the Ooh La Lift, but the Moon Beam?  Get it now.  One bottle also lasts forever!

Love it, love it, love it!
