I learnt about the Maybelline and Gigi Hadid Collaboration last summer. I was so excited, because Gigi is one of my favorite models.
A few days ago I went to the drugstore and saw the Maybelline shelf with Gigi products. The first thing I grabbed was a liquid highlighter in a pretty tube.
Price: $11.99
Some product description:
One product, four ways! This limited edition Gigi Hadid highlighter by Maybelline is the ultimate tool for beautiful and brilliant skin. The Gigi Hadid Liquid Strobe delivers a gorgeous glow and a luminous effect that looks as if skin is lit from within. Look to strobing makeup for an illuminating effect in an instant.
Four ways to glow: wear alone, mix with primer, mix with foundation, or spotlight high points of the face.
This highlighter is available in two shades. I chose Iridescent, because Gold looked unnatural against my pale skin.
Appearance
The product comes in a small tube with 25 ml. The design of the whole collection is very plain yet eye-catching. The tube has a signature of the model on it.
The texture
The texture is creamy and doesn’t feel heavy on my skin. The glow is quite gentle, but you can get a glow ‘visible from space’ when layering
I attached a photo of the highlighter on my hand (a small amount) and on my face (more of it applied):
Shade:
The shade is light-pink. I wish I could use the Gold, but it’s more suitable for tanned skin. However, I can wait till summer and have a tan too
This shade is good both for daily and evening makeup.
Application
I apply this highlighter with my fingers and distribute it to my skin easily. I think that a brush will also be useful, because the product is no way finicky and spreads out perfectly.
Overall thoughts
This highlighter is one of my favorites. Earlier I was taking liquid highlighters with a grain of salt and preferred the dry options. But this highlighter is a game-changer. I definitely give it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend you try it.
