In a rare moment of beauty foresight, my girlfriend and I went through a stage in the late nineties(our early teenage years) of loving face glosses and bronzing shimmer sticks along with the Backstreet Boys and black bootleg pants. We used these to emulate the glossy bronze cheek bones and sexy wet look eyes inspired by the femme fatale of the times, J-Lo. This is still my favourite beauty era to date.
Alas both the Revlon Face Gloss and Australis Bronze Shimmer Stick have been discontinued (as happens with most things I profess to love- someone in the beauty universe is toying with me I swear) but recently I happened upon a couple of worthy replacements.
Becca Bird of Paradise Gloss is one of those beauty finds you never knew you needed and then suddenly cannot live without. Thicker and stickier than your average highlighter..it's a new take on the old school face gloss. It can be used on the top of cheekbones to give a glossy super model glow or on lids to create a smoldering wet look take on the traditional metallic or smokey eye, dab onto your cupid's bow and the middle of your top lip to for a easy way to define your pout or smooth across collarbones to highlight and create a sexy glimmer that complements your sassiest dress. Contained in a cute as a button compact with a handy mirror for about-town applications, this will fast become a makeup bag staple.
Its hard to improve on perfection but Model Co have hit the jackpot with the reformulation of their delicious Luminosity highlighter into the new Model Co Luminosity Shimmer Stick. A swipe across brow, nose and cheekbones will provide an effortlessly bronzed and sexy glow and its clever stick design makes application a breeze, guaranteeing you get just the right amount of product every time . The irresistibly pretty hot pink packaging is hand bag friendly and will invoke envious stares from all.
