Highlighting Eyeshadow Shades…Your Faves?

Which shades of eyeshadow do you prefer to highlight your brow bone? Please share your favorite brands/colors. I am looking for a couple of really good shades, and am having a hard time. I have light skin (between fair and medium), very dark brown hair, brown eyes, and coolish undertones. I wear lots of grays and browns in shadows and liners.

I use Laura Geller's split highlighter with French Vanilla and Portofino. The French Vanilla is what I use most often as it's a matte cream color perfect for under the brow. The Portofino has some shimmer to it and is a light peachy color so I will use it when I am wearing anything in the coral family and use blush/lipstick coordinating with that. I have fair skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. I also wear lots of grays and browns in shadows and liners and the French Vanilla is perfect with those colors.

Soonersis, I was just going to recommend that product! I use it almost every day. I think you'd like it, Okey.

90% of the time it's the LG split pan for me, too, unless I'm playing around and experimenting with something else.

Do you have Bisque? That would work too.

Your coloring sounds very similar to mine. Not a shadow, but I love the Trish McEvoy Shell pencil for this. It's a soft matte pencil, very light pink.

When I want a little more glow, I use the Almay softie eyeshadow--just a tiny amount on my finger. I don't know the name of it, but I got the one that's nude colored.

Your coloring is very close to mine and I use soft pink, ivory or light peach. I use Tarte most of the time but will alternate with BE. My peach and ivory are in the ready wear compacts. At 57 I try to stay away from glitter and go for the matte.

YSL Touche Eclat or the poor man's Touch Eclat, Maybelline Age Rewind in Brightener/Illuminator. I'm going through a Subtle phase.

ETA: I'm fairest of fair, pink undertones.
