MAC Global Glow Mineralize Skinfinish

Left- MAC Global Glow, Right- Laura Geller- Ballerina

A staple bronzer is essential for summer and I think I've found mine! MAC Global Glow is slow baked with whirls of bronze and gold flecks, on the skin it has a slight orange tint however it goes great with a tan, which I'm hopefully going to have in a few weeks. It is very glowy and it's most beautiful on top of cheekbones and not applied in the generic bronzer 3, across temples, cheeks and jaw, as it can look a tad over done. It amazed me in how long it lasted, I tried on a new foundation which wore off so fast and was slipping and sliding all over my face revealing all sorts of blemish etc but thats another story, however through a good 7 hours of wearing that foundation my cheeks were still looking bronzed and it had barely faded, really makes me want to try a natural Mineralize Skinfinish. When I bought it it was a toss up between Global Glow and the cult MSF Soft and Gentle, as it's summer I went for GG and I'm so over the moon I did, can imagine it looking beautiful on all skin tones, and even for £24 I 100% recommend it.

I also thought it'd be interesting to compare it to Laura Geller Ballerina which is a golden illuminator, it has a lot more shimmer rather than a luminous shine that GG has, it's also a lighter champagne gold rather than a bronze gold shade. The pigmentation is very similar, high, so a little goes along way. Overall I prefer GG it's a little less in your face but still very noticeable.

Any more bronze or gold highlight recommendations?
