I made one of the most difficult beauty decisions I've had to make thus far - Soft and Gentle or Lightscapade? I am, of course, talking about MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes. Eventually, I was swayed by Lightscapade and popped one in my virtual shopping trolley. This is my first 'proper' highlighter product and I was always a little skeptical of how much they could really do in terms of my makeup routine. Let's just say, once you start highlighting, you never go back.
I've been so impressed with this product. The shade is a cool toned champagne colour, as opposed to Soft and Gentle's peachy shade. This suits my fair skin down to the ground, it adds the most gorgeous glow without packing on the glitter. It's definitely a subtle shimmer as the powder is so finely milled. I dust this over my cheekbones with a Real Techniques contour brush and it seems to just perk up my whole complexion. I'd feel a little lost without this little baby in my everyday makeup routine, but I am still ever so intrigued by what Soft and Gentle can offer purely due to how much praise I've heard it receive.
Help a girl out - do I need Soft and Gentle or is one of these MAC babies enough?!

I've never had a highlighter before but have been on the hunt for a good one recently. I really wanted a cheap one to try out before I hit MAC though... although this does look gorgeous!!

This does look really similar to Soft and Gentle to be honest, that's the only thing that stopped me getting it as I'm mildly addicted to MSFs but have already got S&G! This one is so pretty though. I've also got Light Year, which is a really gorgeous one, and I tend to use that as a blush/bronzer/highlight in one on top of my cheekbones.

This looks so pretty! It can be quite hard to find a good highlighter that doesn't contain glitter.

Love highlighters especially in spring/summer! This one looks gorgeous! X
ReplyDeleteI think Soft and Gentle is better for darker skin tones so it depends how much you can in the summer. I don't own either of them but I've swatched them both and I'm super pale and soft and gentle just looked weird on me x
ReplyDeleteI really want to try soft and gentle, but this looks just as nice!

I have soft and gentle and have never looked back. However, this is also equally just as beautiful! xo

I have both soft and gentle and lightscapade and I've found myself reaching for lightscapade far more, it's a whole lot less glittery and wears well over the day rather than looking like a glitter ball at the end of the day.

I love the look of this. I've not tried a Mac highlighter yet, I might have a play with this next time I'm at the Mac counter
