💛 Hello everybody! 💛

ღღღ

I don’t often write reviews about highlighters because this makeup segment is difficult for me in terms of choice and preferences. I don’t like when my highlighter is too obvious on my face or when it’s too badly milled. I hate when it defines my skin texture or doesn’t stay put throughout the day. In a word, I don’t buy highlighters often, even though I love using them for highlighting my inner corners of the eyes. So, I’m eager to share my experience with you!

 

Have a nice reading!

🎁PACKAGING🎁

The powder is packed with a big plastic black good quality casing. Smile

It’s pretty easy to stain but also easy to wipe off, so no problem.

I can’t say that the compact here is sturdy or safe. It’s very likely that my highlighter will break down if I drop it down. However, it’s still lightweight and easy to open and close with a click.

Inside is of good quality and there's a handy mirror.

WEIGHT - 7.5g - that’s a lot!

 

Made in Italy.

 

🔎PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS🔎

The product comes in 5 shades. I have the first one which is also the fairest and said to be a highlighter. The others are bronzing.

Application:

-Using the Angled Cheek Colour brush, lightly tap onto domed highlighter covering all edges of brush.

-Tap off excess product.

-Using the tapered head of the brush, apply over the high points of the face: cheekbones, center of nose, Cupid’s bow, and top of forehead.

The texture of the powder-highlighter is very soft and silky to the touch. It’s nice to pick up with a brush. I can blend it out almost completely. I use my fluffy brush or my fingers to apply it. At the same time, the highlighter doesn’t have a chunky texture or goes dusty.

The formula has some teeny-tiny glistening beads. I know there are more delicate highlighters in the market and they also have a thicker color base, while here it has only a delicate hint of the glow. Daylight reveals beautiful skin glowing finish and when the light is artificial, here’s the time for those glistening beads to be in the center of attention.

 

🌸SHADE🌸

  • HIGHLIGHT-01 Golden Nude - is a warm-toned shade. It flatters any skin type well. Even if your skin is super pale, it won’t look odd or too yellow. If your skin is tanned, then it’ll beautifully highlight your upper cheekbones so advantageously. I’d say that this shade is champagne.

💧STAYING POWER💧

The product stays on good throughout the day but it can sink in a little into my skin towards the evening.

🌸AROMA🌸

The powder doesn’t have any aroma to it.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

This is an excellent highlighting powder! I don’t use it as a standalone powder all over my face because it appears too much for me then! My complexion looks too glowing, aka Guerlain meteorites, maybe some of you will like such results.

It goes a long way and it’s super versatile!
