MAC Lustre Drops

Recently I've become utterly obsessed with highlighters in any form powder or liquid. I'm big into contouring and love the "where the natural light hits look" in other words cheekbones, middle of nose, brow bone, middle of chin and forehead and the Cupid's bow for pouty lips. I saw lustre drops a while back and did some research someone mentioned they remind them of a grown up version of benefit high beam and moon beam - I used these years ago so why not give MAC a chance?! I could go back to benefit but tbh I've become a mac snob and like my make up collection to be purely one brand - plus MAC is cheaper about £4 cheaper!!
To start with I just ordered pink rebel this is described as a blue based pink bronzed - I cannot in any way shape or form see any blue in it?! Anyway it arrived I ripped it open - loving the little bottle although I do wonder how great it'll be when/if it ever starts to run out. Anyway I'd already read not to rub these onto make up but to pay it in. I absolutely love the natural glow it gives! At first I couldn't really see it but once in the day light it looked fab. Straight away I got online and ordered sun rush.

Sun rush arrived today and it is a lot more golden than pink rebel but again a fab fab highlighter I also tried it under MAC pigment golden lemon to give it an extra boost and with it being more bronze I dripped two drops into my foundation and used all over my face. I've had two people stop me to say how well I look (guessing I normally look like shit!)

Big tip for applying is do your make up and then put three drops on cheek bone smudge this into place and pat pat pat I then swirl over with my HG 187 brush just to blend altogether. I tried it today as my highlighter when contouring and very happy with the results. Well worth £17.50 a bottle (18ml) it'll last a long long time.
