Beauty Product Reviews
So glad Beautylish still had this available! I initially had assumed at least one color (the green, maybe?) would be too unnatural for me to pull off, but surprisingly that's not the case with any of them!
The way these highlighters look on me is like your standard, healthy glow (no white cast, and I'm pretty fair), but if you look closer, you'll see their true hue. I love it! Not to mention the swatches are stunning.
No complaints about the texture of the highlighters, and they don't show texture on my face, either. Today, I'm wearing the pink shade on the high point of my cheekbone--and also as a blush topper. I'll definitely try to use them as an eyeshadow or lip topper as well.
I have a chronic illness, so one of the things I look for in makeup is the ability to bring some radiance, some life, back to my face. These definitely check the box.
Wow. This palette is really, really good.
I've used every color and can't find a weak one. The mattes are soft (so there can be some kickback) in a way that I really love. I always hear people saying "They blend themselves." I used to laugh, but now I know why. I barely put in any work on my more neutral look. Come to think of it, I don't remember needing much effort for my colorful look, either.
Special shoutout to the matte lavender-y shade in the bottom left. It is beautiful and nicely pigmented, which I feel isn't easy with purples or more pastel tones. In the crease it was the perfect balance between bold and wearable.
The shimmers/metallics are vibrant and blend into each other and the mattes nicely. (You can also layer a gel eyeliner on top with no trouble.) These are also soft, which I like. You should know that I always use my finger to apply shimmers or metallics, but when I used the middle shade as part of my eyeliner, it applied nicely with an eyeliner brush. I did have to go over the line twice to get it as opaque as I wanted.
Both looks I did lasted through a full work day and were just as vibrant not only when I got home, but when I went to bed. I'm so glad I broke my no-buy for this!
