My HG Highlighter: MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt

A lot of people ask me about highlighters, and I have a lot of them. In the picture below is the majority of my collection, but I missed a few (including Benefit Watt's Up! and others that are in palettes):

There is one star in my collection, which is my HG (holy grail) highlighter. I simply feel like I cannot live without it!

♥MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt♥

It is limited edition and was released originally in March 2012, but it is being repromoted *right now* in MAC's Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze Collection!

Beauties with medium to dark skin tones, you definitely need this highlighter!

I purchased mine (along with Superb) when the In Extra Dimension collection came out back in March of this year. I decided to do a side comparison between the two shades so you can see the differences in shades:

Superb is more cool/pink-toned while Whisper of Gilt is more champagne/warm-toned. Since I'm warmed tone, Whisper of Gilt is definitely my pick between the two. As you can also see that after about 8 months of fairly often usage, Whisper of Gilt still has plenty of product left in the pan!

Swatch (unblended and blended)

As you can see, it is a champagne (or white gold) shade that blends out for a beautiful glow! You can apply little for an every day look or more for a more dramatic look.

Small review
This is my HG highlighter! The color suits me very well, the lasting power is really great even with little product used. The price can be a bit hefty at $29, but it contains a lot of product and as you can see in my photo, you don't need to use a lot. So overall the value is great and should not be missed out on!

If you have warm medium-dark toned skin, go for Whisper of Gilt. If you have cool toned skin, go for Superb.

Available now online and in-store where MAC is sold for $29. Do not hesitate, they will probably sell out quickly!
