It’s no secret that I love a good
highlighter. There’s nothing better than glowing to the gods! A few months
back, I got my hands on the Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder, which oddly
enough, I had heard absolutely nothing about. Anyway, ever since I got
this highlighter, I have been wearing it non-stop and it has quickly made it’s
way to being my absolute favourite highlighter out of all of those I have
tried and I’ve never been complimented on anything so much, than I have with this highlighter!
THE
PRODUCT: The shade I have
is Bronze Glow and is a stunning bronze
shade with a hint of gold. There is another shade called Pink Glow, which is obviously a more pinky highlight, and is more
suitable for paler skin tones. These highlighting powders are incredibly
pigmented and if you only want a subtle highlight, you can apply the product
with a light hand. As you can decide on how intense you want the highlight to
appear, it’s versatile in the sense that you can wear it for both day and night
and for various occasions.
THE
PACKAGING: Although the
packaging looks really nice and sophisticated with the shiny black packaging,
large mirror and the Bobbi Brown Logo, the overall aesthetic is stunning,
however when you actually feel the product it’s very lightweight plastic and
almost cheap feeling. I know that when it comes to makeup, the packaging isn’t
what matters, but when you are purchasing a high end
product you not only want it to feel weighty, but you also want to know the
product inside is protected if it happens to fall.
HOW I USE: I like to use this product with the Real Techniques Contour Brush and apply the highlighter to the tops of my cheeks, above and below the brow bone and on the tip of my nose. For a night out and a more intense look, I use MAC Fix+ to wet my brush and increase the intensity. I may even choose to apply a bit on my cupids bow for an overall glowing look.
THE
PRICE: This beautiful
highlighter so happens to come at a not-so-beautiful price of £34, but despite
this, I honestly think it is so worth it!
What’s your favourite highlighter? Have
