Highlighting has two sides. The au natural glow and the show-stopper blinding shine. If you're a fan of both this might be something interesting for you but keep in mind it's tricky to work with.

The first time I saw this powder highlighter I thought, "Wow. That's a pretty good deal. 2 colours in one palette". Granted it was a brand that catered to the younger crowd, the packaging did feel pretty cheap.

Texture/Pigment

---

The texture is very soft and smooth but extremely powdery. There'a s lot of fall-out and you have to tap off quiet a bit before putting it on your face because the bits are going to fly all over your face. The powder itself looks a little chunky to me, the glitters are fine but not as fine as I would like. I'm more of a 'subtle glow' versus obvious glitter. Yes you could only apply a little and get more of a glow for sure but the chunks I can't get over with.

It has great pigment though and reflects light very well. The colours are very nice. One champagne and one that's copper.



Main problem / Deal-breaker

---

Despite it looking nice and the affordable price tag (around Php 199?) the pigment falls all-over my face whenever I use it. So I do end-up looking like I put highlighter everywhere even if I just put it on top of my cheeks. The chunks are also something I can't get over. I have tried using the L'Oreal makeup setting spray and yes it does keep it put BUT it still falls down and gets everywhere at the end of the day.


Conclusion

---

It's cheap. It lasts quite well especially with a setting spray but it will get all over all your makeup (where you didn't put highlighter on). If that's something you're ok with go ahead. Maybe use it along with a facial moisturizer/bb cream/cc cream for a glowy base?


Have you tried this? Or this particular brand? Let me know below!
