perfecting powders or glows as highlighter on eyes?

Hi,
I've never bought any of the perfecting powders or glows and was wondering if they are appropriate as a highlighter or allover wash on the eyelids. For reference, I have light-med olive or neutral skin with med brown eyes and dark brown hair. Thanks!

There is not any reason you can't use them on your eyes, but I am not sure any of them will be shimmery enough to act as a highlighter unless you try one of the perfecting glows. I think you might find the perfecting powders not shimmery enough for that application except for Tempt Tryst. The glows can be used on the eyes and might be more what you are looking for.

I use Liberty and Crystal all the time when I don't wanna search for matching highlighter colors for my shadows, or even by themselves, all over the lid for a little pick-me-up that's not too strong but has enough presence.

My sister's favorite eyeshadow is halo glow. I'm pretty sure she wears it as a lid color.

I've used Splendid as an eyeshadow before. Worked just fine.
