I am so obsessed with this highlighyer.
Well, I am obsessed with all highlighters, and I’ve
honestly tried so so so many to find the perfect one. I always felt like I had
really high expectations that would never be fulfilled…
One day I was shopping in Selfridges with my friend, and we both spotted this highlighter from a mile off! I would have never
gave this a second look online, it looks so much nicer in real life. It is the
Illamasqua Gleam Highlighter in ‘Aurora’.
Firstly, I love Illamasqua packaging. I think it’s really
sleek and classy. I love the glass window in this little compact!
Okay.. the picture below is gross! BUT when I first opened it, it had a weird, wet oily film on top - like it had separated!? And when I was swatching it, it looked nothing like in the store and I was getting so annoyed! So I mixed it all together.. and voila! It looks like crap but works perfectly!
It is a really soft creamy highlighter, that is the perfect
cool champagne colour for my pale skin. It really isn’t glittery at
all, it is very much a ‘glowy’ highlighter. I just dab it on my cheeks with my
fingers and blend it out with a beauty blender – and it’s perfect!
I’ve had so many compliments, and so many people asking me
what highlighter I’m wearing! Because it’s so creamy, it’s amaaazing if you
put a powder highlighter on top too – then it really pops. Also, it’s really easy
to mix into foundation – and when I did that recently for a night out loads of my friends asked
what my new dewy foundation was!
They also do the same highlighter in a deep bronze
colour, perfect for darker skin tones. I love how on their site, they put the
colours on different skin tones so you can actually see how it will look on
you!
I can’t rave about this
highlighter enough, I love it! I will definitely be picking up many many more
(unless something new steals my heart!)
What’s your favourite highlighter of all time??
