I would go with golden cream, the other two shades are both too dark on me( i'm NC20-25), but if you want to use it on your cheeks as a bronzer/highlighter, spotlight is a really great color.

Both of those might have too much brown in them for you, unless you want to use it as a bronzer, which has way too much shimmer in it for that. Try the lightest shade.

"Spotlight" is the perfect color for me. I have fairly light skin, and it is just perfect. Super natural looking. Hope this helps!

Spotlight, definitely. It's gorgeous on light skinned girls

I have the exact same description (fair, brunette, blue eyes) and I would go for "Luminous" (cream). I bought "Spotlight" during an $8 checkout deal, and it's a little too dark for me - I have to use it very sparingly. With that in mind, Luminous should be perfect!

Get the golden cream! I have a fair complexion and dark brown hair/eyes and it works perfect, that soft summer glow!

It doesn't really provide any coverage it's more of a highlighter for the cheeks. I like to use it under my brow

I've never used a luminizer before, but I've been so impressed with this. I got the Spotlight shade, which is a touch darker than my regular skin tone. I used the Sephora Collection Complexion brush to apply it rather than the sponge that came in the compact, and it goes on very smoothly and evenly, like a cross between a bronzer and a power foundation. It feels weightless and doesn't clog your pores. I don't apply it to my t-zone, since it does tend to - obviously - go glowy and shiny, but on my cheekbones and browbone, it adds a really healthy boost.

Yes. It's very sheer, but it does provide coverage.

It's a highlighter. There is no coverage

Actually, I find that it does provide some light, sheer coverage.

I would describe it as more coverage than a translucent powder, but less than a sheer powder foundation. It sort of smooths out your skin tone and blends everything together.

Sometimes you'd like a nude face without a full foundation, etc., but you've got your eyes done and everything and you look kind of unfinished or not as smooth-toned as you like. I would recommend this for that kind of situation.

The adage "you, only better" comes to mind when using this powder on its own.

I use a large make up brush and it works great .

The Laura Mercier Fan Brush was recommended by my Sephora girl and I think its great for this product. I really like it.

A fan brush for your cheeks and any kind of brush for your brow bones inner corners of eyes and cupids bow

I normally dust it over my cheeks using a fluffy brush LAST after I have put on all of my other makeup. It's great as a luminizing finishing powder!

I actually use a large, fluffy blush brush to apply it. This is so that I can buff it into the skin, but in a way that looks even, flawless, and natural.
For an extra bit of highlight, I squeeze the brush at the end so it becomes flatter, and I dab the powder on.
For the browbone, I use the pad that comes with the compact and swipe it across.
Hope this helps.

I am prone to breakouts, but have not had any problem with this powder. I've been using it for about 2 weeks.

Personally, I have very sensitive skin that tends to breakout, even with some higher end brands. However this has not caused any problems whatsoever, and in fact helps keep my skin matte while still giving a glow. It's free of synthetic ingredients and chemicals that tend to irritate acne-prone skin, so you can feel confident at least giving it a shot :)

I have problematic skin but this hasn't done anything to make my face breakout...

Visit the company website or call Sephora if you have to know for legit reasons.

For highlighter/"glowy" application, I'd definitely suggest this. Not for all-over application, but as an additional glow above the cheeks, center of the forehead, definitely.

I have light skin and spotlight looks gorgeous on me, so I definitely recommend loracs spotlight

I would highly recommend TARTE's SMOOTHE OPERATOR Illimunizing serum. It leaves you with a perfectly smooth, dewy complexion & it has a sheer tint to it that makes it work great as a tinted moisturizer. I am 41 with light/medium on the dry side skin & this covers great, smooths fine lines & catches the light. I am not sure if it is available yet as I got this in November in a trial for their new products...but look for it by itself or listed in the gift sets or value sets. Now, for the LORAC Luminizing Powder; I have this in SPOTLIGHT & love it for highlighting & over my concealer in the corners of my eyes to detract from my hereditary dark circles. However, I try to avoid getting it on the fine lines near my eyes unless I use TARTE product above or a rich moisturizer first. As a rule, powder should be used sparingly on dry and/or aging skin because it does tend to settle in lines but with proper moisturizers/balms & a light handed brush you can look radiant!

I just purchased this product in Radiant and I love it. It gives a nice dewy look to the skin and works well over foundation. I personally use Bare Minerals foundation in Light and use this powder over it on my cheekbones, forehead, and chin to give me that "glow from within" by highlighting the center of my face. I think you will love this product too!

you got it right!!! luminous

I can't exactly help you with the shade part, because I got a shade that is no longer being made, but I have to say that I just love this product for the exact reason that you mention in the other part of your question: it gives a dewy, radiant look to any part of your face that you want to highlight, especially the cheekbones. And the nice thing is that it's shiny, but not really reflective, so people don't actually notice that you're wearing a highlighter. It gives a natural, dewy glow, and smooths imperfections.
Plus, it lasts all day.
I love this product.

The color is spotlight. I have the same one

product number #2720 is SPOTLIGHT.

It sounds as if you may have an older product version. These compacts are actually "pearl white", not silver, and even the manufacturer's website lists only three shades (the same three Sephora lists on its site). You may want to check these out in person to see which shade works best for you.

The color is Spotlight

Colour 2720 is "Spotlight" on the Sephora site.

Instore, it's currently available for $9.

I am medium/light and luminous works fine for me. I've also found, since this is colorless, you can add a bit of colored pressed powder over this if you need to darken it a little. The glow still shows though if applied lightly.

I have medium skin and I used the spotlight and I think it's a good match

spotlight

I have medium skin, and the color Spotlight is great. Since it's pigmented, shimmery, but sheer, you can build up color or use a light sweep and it'll blend with your natural color very nicely. I recommend using a brush to put it on though otherwise it goes on really unevenly.

if skin is medium, i would say that the best eye shadow is a rich brown with shimmer in it or like a copper brown. Also champange shimmery eyeshadow makes medium skin color pop out!

in place of your regular powder..unless you want extra coverage!:)

I would say that this would be the last product you put on your face after your blush and bronzer. You just want to create a slight glow. It doesn't add color.

I used my powder and then the powder...I found that there was no need for blush or bonzer

I've found that it works best to apply your usual powder as normal on your face, but go a little lighter on the places where you'll be sweeping the Lorac powder as putting too much poweder on leads to an odd-looking texture. But definately apply your blush and bronzer before-hand, just make sure that, as I previously mentioned, that you don't put too much powder on before the Lorac powder.

I hope this has helped! Good luck! :)

I would not actually use it to replace all-over powder or setting powders. I would use it as a highlight instead. It's very shimmery and while it does add a nice glow, I think than an all-over application would lead to the appearance of a shiny, oily skin rather than radiant.

Spotlight is absolutely gorgeous. I have problematic skin but this hasn't clogged my pores or made me break out and I've had it for a while

Spotlight is a warm, neutral beige that is neither too warm or or cool. I think you could easily wear this.

i have albatross and yes it does give a gold highlight i love it only when i go out. i know you and i dont have the same skintone but honestly just got for the perfectly lit in spotlight. it has a light brown tint for a everyday look. albatross is more for the night look and something you can invest when you are need for a night out of town home it helps =]

Perhaps try another vendor. This company makes odd shades and I have yet to meet anyone that can use these powders.

I agree. I like Albatross, but it definitely gives a golden sheen. Perfectly Lit is sheer - no color - just luminous! You could wear this with any other makeup whereas Albatross may be more limited.

Yes, it does have a subtle sheen to give your skin an all over glow. It does not have large particles of glitter. I love the all over dewy finish that it provides.

I gives shimmery glow. Similar to the shimmer added in some bronzers.
