Honeybee Beauty: Sun Beam by Benefit

Im a HUGE fan of highlighters! I have quite a few but recently fell in love with Benefits Sun Beam! It is SO subtle and gives a perfect natural looking glow! Here are some shots of me wearing it just on the top of my cheekbones...

  5. It looks great!!! I have to try this. I don't like powder highlighters because they look to obvious on my skin but I will def look into this one, it looks super natural. You are absolutely gorgeous! Are you wearing anything else on your cheeks? and what is that lip color? LOVE!!!!

  7. Looks amazing! By the way, also wanted to commend you for keeping up your blog. I have a 14 week old baby myself, and I know that you must be a very busy mama! Thank you for continuing to blog -- I really appreciate seeing how such a fashionable mother does things!

  8. Ahhh! I just bought this!!1 Great minds think alike! ;) I actually bought it to mix into my foundation to give the dewy glowing look.

  9. It looks beautiful on your skin! Do you try to keep a matte look for a foundation? A dewy foundation and highlighter seems like it might be too glowy, but perhaps not? Could you share what foundation/powder you used with it? Thanks!

    1. I do try to keep it matte bc i think i tend to get oily pretty easy. I'm wearing Loreal True Match foundation with MUFE HD powder on top in these pics

  13. I am going to try this Benefit highlighter - thanks for the recommendation. I love highlighters too! My favorite thus far has been a Becca highlighting cream. BTW, you must check out the new BB creams since you are a busy new mom. I'm loving Bobbi Brown's BB cream and Smashbox's BB cream. I am so overjoyed at just using one quick product these mornings. Take care!

  16. I love highlighters as well, it really completes any look and goes well with all skin tones. I personally use Kevyn Aucoin which I read Kim K also uses and am impressed with the subtle glow it provides.
