Thank you Alma and Marleen! Alma, they always discontinue favs, don't they? So cruel! Marleen, I shall keep those in mind next hunt! I can't recall the name Ms. Jacqueline gave me offhand, but it is my notes for certain and I look forward to giving it a whirl. :)

Thank you Rozberry for the compliment. It's always so exciting when someone else loves something as much as you do. Another beautiful non-yellow highlighter is Bobbi Brown's Pink Glow. It's a mosaic of white and a warm pink. It's so intense it looks wet on the skin, but you have to be careful if you have yellow undertones in your skin, because all the mosaics are different and can have different ratios of colors. Mine happens to have more white than pink in it which I don't like because of my medium-yellow skintone. But it would be perfect on fair to light skintones. If I can find another one with more pink in it, I might get another one. Next time I'm going to check inside before I buy it or any mosaic. Life lesson learned.

I wish they weren't all warm toned. I'm forever returning highlighters. There is ONE Miss Jacqueline told me about that I'm going to ask for Christmas. Very helpful thread, ladies. Thank you.

I knew you'd love it! And since its pretty neutral, not too yellow , but just a touch of it so it doesn't come off chalky or frosty, its pretty universal for most light- medium skintones no matter what undertones you have in your skin.  Enjoy!

I have fair skin and I love champagne pop! But I could see that, so I'd reccomend moonstone soft and gentle is darker than champagne pop and I only wear it in the summer

It took me about a year of nearly daily use to hit pan!

I recently went to a Mac counter and swatched 'Lightscapade' and it's stunning on pale skin! It's really sheer but very build able and it had more silverish peachy tones. unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the swatch.

Jacqlyn Hill did a video on her favorite highlighters and she included swatches, what she liked/didnt like about them, and even gave her opinion on what skin tone they'd suit. You should definitely check that video out!

Even though Soft and Gentle can look nice on lighter skintones, everyone has different undertones which can make a difference on how it reads on the skin. Not to mention, some skintypes can oxidize makeup more than others. And also some foundations can cause a color change of whatever product you put onto it.

I think Moonstone is a safe bet. It is a neutral beige champagne as opposed to Soft & Gentle which is peachy champagne which may look a tad too golden or orange on lighter skintones.

Thanks Sav! If I don't get their highlight I definitely have set my eyes on their bahama bronzer!

Thanks girls your feedback is well appreciated! I like that 3rd swatch Marleen, but it makes me wonder how different it'll show up on my skin 😕 and I've heard great stuff on the strobe cream as well Rozberry, I'd like to try that one out as well! And yes that was my problem Molly, it was too golden 😕 how long did it take you to hit pan? And Sydney opal looks GREAT on you!! 😫😍 thanks girl for your recommendations!! <3.

I have super fair skin, and I quite like champagne pop. I will say, however, I'm not looking for my highlight to look natural. I like a BAM highlight. I usually will mix champagne pop with something else because I think alone it can come across a bit too golden on me, but I do like the look of it alone if I'm going for that kind of look. I like mixing it with moonstone, or the white square of the physicians formula shimmer palette thing. I especially love that Becca is cruelty free (as is physicians formula)
Honestly, if you think champagne pop is too dark, I'd go for moonstone. It's a gorgeous paleeeeeee golden highlight, and my personal favorite. So much so, I've hit major pan on it!

Jocelyne, you are not alone. I'm pale and felt it looked unsightly, unnatural and the gold dust did nothing for my skin. Even with a light hand, it never felt or appeared natural or even flattering.

I'm fond of MAC Strobe Cream, which adds a brightness and hint of pearly that leaves a slight radiance. It mixes well with foundation or over my CC cream as a highlight. Quite delightful.

I seen moonstone but I was determined on making champagne pop work, sadly it didnt as I had visualized. I think ill have to test it out, hopefully it works out, I love the texture and pigmentation of champagne pop although it didnt suit me right so hopefully moonstone does!
