For my powder highlighter gals:
Makeup revolution Ultra Blush Palette - Golden Sugar
These highlighters are incredibly pigmented and have a really smooth, fine milled texture (there's no chunky glitter, don't worry!) and, better yet, cost virtually nothing; this palette retails for £6.72!
Overall, for the beautiful range of powder highlighters included within this palette, I definitely recommend picking this gem up, grabbing a fan brush and getting your glow on.
For my cream highlighter gals:
Sleek 'Precious Metals' highlighting palette
So, the hype created around the Solstice highlighting palette by Sleek Makeup last year was HUGE. However, my opinion was that their Precious Metals highlighting palette seemed, to me, to be far more versatile including three different and REALISTIC shades; this one is certainly a lot more chocolate girl friendly!
After picking this palette up, I can conclude that the cream highlighters are stunning for someone who prefers a dewy, rather natural glimmer on top of their makeup. (Don't get me wrong; if you layer this baby, you can really BLIND.)
The texture is how it should be (creamy, of course!) and is best applied with a damp beauty blender. The small brush that comes with this palette is, quite frankly, useless (the quality of the bristles isn't great, it's small and fiddly and it's not even the type of brush you'd want to highlight with) and the powder highlighter is quite lackluster and chunky.
But for the three pans of cream highlighter, £10 is a great price; don't miss out!

For my liquid highlighter gals:
Nars 'Super Orgasm' liquid highlighter
You thought I could forget about you girls, didn't you? Well, not to worry: Marina's got an option for you! That being said, it's a rather pricey option but definitely worth every penny for the high level of quality presented in this product.

This liquid highlighter in the shade 'Super Orgasm' (And immediately, given the shade name, you can tell that this product is made by none other than Nars) retails for $30, which can be considered to be quite a hefty sum. But I don't buy things on a whim; the decision to spend that much money on 1.1oz of liquid highlighter was heavily debated among the makeup loving and bashing spirits of my mind. In the end, I gave in and forked out the cash, which turned out to be a favourable decision; I use this product almost everyday within my makeup routine!
Occasionally, in addition to bouncing it onto the skin for a gorgeous peachy glow, I incorporate the smallest drop of product into my foundation to maximize the dewy appearance of my makeup. Trust me, this highlighter really packs a punch, so in terms of application, just remember: a little goes a LONG way (and you don't want to waste any of this considering it's as expensive as gold dust)
Honestly, the level of strobe is so versatile with this highlighter and with the several shades available, I guarantee you'll find the perfect liquid highlighter for you and fall in love with it.

I'm really into cream highlighters atm. Idk why, I guess I find that they just blend better into the skin. I haven't got the sleek palette but I really want to try it after reading this!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am really enjoying those cream highlighters currently! I feel that they give a more natural looking glow which is definitely something I look for! x Thanks so much for reading and sharing your preference; I really do recommend that palette, so yes, please do try it! xx

Wow that sleek highlighter is amazing! I've always been so reluctant to buying it but after this post I might just have to- love it!

Heya Lau! Completely in agreement: the Sleek palette is gorgeous and so worth it for the price, despite that one disappointing powder shade. I'm glad I could persuade you to buy something! xx Thanks so much for reading!

Light and soft glitter! Isn't that just lovely?
ReplyDeleteI never knew how to use highlighters. Thank you for this!
