In a pinch: sexy highlighter

Not everyone keeps a highlighter on hand.
Which is a shame, considering how flattering they can be, and how much they can spice up your face without being obvious or ugly-chunky-sparkly.

So, if you catch yourself at a quiet dinner date that turns into a night-at-the-club, and you're unprepared... how about turning a nude, shimmering eyeshadow into a highlighter to accentuate your cheekbones and browbones?

That happened to me the other evening--an unexpected "we're going out right here right now!" moment and all I had on me was some cheap shimmer stick and my lipstick.
I smeared some of that lipstick on my cheeks and smudged it out to a sexy glow, dabbing a bit on my lips at the same time, and used the shimmer shadow as a highlighter! Perfecto!
I even got compliments on my dazzling look.

Have you seen these? They're super cheap.  I picked up one at Ulta on a whim (and a sale) for about $2.
My color is 
and it is luscious. Kind of goes along with that rose gold trend that I adore.

I smudged some on my upper cheeks, my brow bones, the center of my eyelids, and my cupid's bow (that little divit above your lips), smudged away, and....sexy, glowing perfection.

And the best part is how easily blendable and un-chunky it is. I hate that crappy 1990s glitter stuff, and this is the antithesis of that--a powdery sheen that looks delightful year round.
