using the new MAC beauty Powder in Pearl blossom from the MAC Is beauty collection on my cheeks ($26)
Magic in a pan.
And I’m not just stating that since of my strong emotional ties to this beauty Powder.

Barbie likes MAC! — likewise understood as “my gateway MAC collection.” I keep in mind that Pearl blossom was one of the pieces I bought in my bit MAC Barbie haul (this was back in 2007), as well as even though it’s a re-promote in the new MAC Is beauty collection, I still get terminated up about it.
Because it’s just so versatile. There are so many things you can do with MAC’s beauty Powders (which are basically like the hourglass Ambient Powders, from before the time there were hourglass Ambient Powders), particularly light pink Pearl Blossom, which likewise has silvery pearl. You can wear it as a blush, or a highlighter, or if you have lighter, cool-toned skin, lightly dusted around your deal with as a brightening powder.
I like Pearl Blossom’s surface since it isn’t excessively frosty. I utilize it mainly as a highlighter, targeting the soft, subtle iridescent sheen on the tops of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, in the inner corners of my eyes, as well as above as well as just below the arch in my brows.

I’m all about highlighting, however I’m not huge into contouring, which is the other half of the shaping equation. The contour is usually when you utilize deeper colors to simulate shadows as well as make specific areas appear to recede into the background. Highlighting does the opposite, where you focus interest on specific areas.
The soft powder formula lasts all the time long on my combination skin. I just dust it on in the mornings after foundation, bronzer, blush — the whole shebang — to add that subtle glow.
