Are you a highlighting addict? No I’m not talking about those yellow and green neon markers we collected as teenagers (high school memories anyone?). I’m talking about the gorgeous luminescent glow we can give ourselves with this magical makeup called a highlighter.

Fun Spring Nails with essie spring 2017

I painted small lines with all…

Caitlyn Jenner for MAC
