Don’t let people tell you your 30s will be the best time of your life in a tone that suggests your looks will fade so you better find inner peace. Vicki’s Pick is a weekly beauty column that features Vicki’s all-time favourite beauty products and latest discoveries for women in their 30s who plan on staying pretty on the outside for a long, long time.

Perhaps it has something to do with being Canadian and barely seeing the sun for six months out of the year, but I get a kick out of working with the sun-kissed hue my skin takes on in the summer months.

I’m currently taking highlighting to the next level with my new obsession: MAC Pressed Pigments in Light Touch ($25). While it comes in a compact that makes it look like a shimmery eyeshadow, this bad boy’s glittery awesomeness is made for more than just the eyelid. As part of the MAC Face & Body Collection, MAC Pressed Pigments are actually designed for highlighting. The creamy texture of the product allows it to either be applied dry or wet for a more intense finish.
