So I was coming home from the mall where I had just bought a new concealer and wanted to try it out, when I started thinking about makeup and the items I have in my collection. I realized that there was one eyeshadow that I had never used, because I just didn't know how! That eyeshadow is "Gesso", from MAC. I got it a while ago, together with "Carbon", which is just the most amazing black eyeshadow ever.. highly pigmented and lasts forever! At the time, I bought "gesso" because I wanted a highlight color, and in my mind, that was the perfect one. I later discovered that a highlighter is prettiest when it has a little shimmer to it. Sooo, I put it aside and never used it.
Today I had the most amazing idea!! Since I don't like shimmery makeup during the day, and I do like the idea of highlighting the brow bone and the under eye area, I thought that maybe I could use the eyeshadow as a highlighter! The result?! AMAZING! It lightens up the eyes and gives your makeup a little something extra! A beautiful highlighter color to use during the day, for those girls, like me, who don't like to much glitter during daylight!
However, this eyeshadow can only be used for this purpose if you have fair skin. I have very fair skin. For example, my concealer and studio-fix are both NW15 (pretty fair, I know), so that's why the color "gesso" works out fine as a highlighter. If you have darker skin, I wouldn't recommend it, because then it would look a bit weird, since the eyeshadow is basically white. The product can also set the concealer, since it is a little powder that is put over it.
I just thought this was a great different use for an eyeshadow, and figured I could share it with other girls that love makeup, just like I do! Makeup is something very interesting and even a teeny tiny detail, like a highlighter, makes a great difference! The final makeup look is composed by little beautiful details!!
