1. A great CC cream
2. Subtle Bronzer
3. Highlight

I hear benefit has an amazing highlighter called "high beam." I hear great reviews about it all the time. I think NARS Orgasm would look lovely on your complexion. Although, it does have some specks of glitter but it looks so beautiful. :) hope I could help.

It looks like your skin tone is kind of similar to mine so I'll tell you what I wear, hopefully that will help!

I heard the Lorac CC cream is great but haven't tried it yet, I am using up the rest of my Maybelline BB cream first and I do really like that.

I use Physician's Formula Happy Booster bronzer or Victoria's Secret baked bronzer in Goddess. The VS one is probably my all time favorite, but it does have a bit of shimmer in it so keep that in mind.

For highlight, I usually just use a lighter bronzer, I really like Victoria's Secret baked bronzer in Glowing for this. I also have the Revlon Photoready palette in Peach, it works terribly as a blush or bronzer but great as a highlighter.

I like NYX cream blushes, I think the one I really like is called Innocence. They are affordable, blendable, and come in a variety of shades. Lately I'm also really liking elf's HD blush in Superstar, although it is VERY pigmented so you only need a teeny bit.
