Product Description

Curtains up for a perfect complexion! the subtle highlighter powder not only brightens up your complexion, but your eyes too! delicate shimmer particles set enchanting accents on your face, neck and décolleté for a splendid finale in the circus arena! available in 01 it’s magic.

My thought

the idea of powder highlighter was not that apealing at first but when i swatched it i knew i had to have it.the highlighter comes in a black colored plastic pan with a transparent plastic lid, the packaging is simple and sturdy.the pan contains 9g of the product which is an impressive quantity for the price paid.you can see in some  pictures that the pan inside the container is a little lopsided that's because it rotates i don't know if it is supposed to be like this or its a fault

the highlighter itself is a fine powder with delicate shimmer particles in it which are not at all gritty or chunky.the powder is creamy soft in texture, it glides on smoothly and blends well.i love the fact that how on blending this highlighter gives a subtle sheen and a glow to my skin

i use a bit of highlighter on the cheekbones which make them look glowing and defined and on the brow bones to make my eyes look brighter and larger.you can also put it on your cupids bow to make you lips appear plumper and defined.

sometimes i mix this highlighter with my foundation to get a full face luminosity.i rubb my finger over the highlighter and  mix my foundation on my palm with the same finger.belive me it does make a difference and give my face a healthy glow not a scary sparkly twinkle look.
