[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I can honestly say this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to photograph – they’re not my usual standard but it’s attempt three and I’ve lost the will to continue! I think this is for the Lunar New Year because of the red/gold ombre effect on the casing – which is highly reflective.
I wonder how the highlighting category is faring? It seems that of all the things we are wearing less of at the moment highlighter isn’t up there at the top of the list. I’ve started wearing a bit more make up at the moment because I rashly committed to doing an IGTV every day (have failed to do so already, but I’m getting there!) and while I’m happy to go bare faced sometimes, I do put the effort into using some base and mascara at least. But, I haven’t reached for a highlighter once.
It’s really pretty – I think only the packaging is new – in a blend of palest pink and light gold so it can go onto any tone for a flash of light to cheek bones.

I’ve run my fingers over the top of this so many times now that it’s not pristine any more – it’s sharper when you first open it.
I’ve used the light box to get an idea of the colour but unless you’re under photography lights, you won’t glow this hard! It’s really just a glimmery veil if you apply with a fluffy brush. Are you still highlighting? Or is it a suspended trend… The Pink Glow is £36.50 HERE, non-affiliate HERE.

I use a bit of highlighter for video calls to feel less blah.
Yes, I can see it being a useful Zoom accessory to look more glowy than you feel 🙂
I love highlighters! Well, to look at… On myself.. honestly, I still don’t get this dewy appeal – I just got less finishing powder and to me it’s enough (psychologically I still feel it like “fat oily shine” and something for stage… or for warmer darker complexions). Lovely packaging though… Love all gold\red 🙂
I think it’s nice when its used on cheek bones very lightly so it catches the light on the angles – that looks really pretty.
May be I’ll finally learn to wear and like it on myself (don’t know though if it’ll be a good thing – not for my wallet for sure, it’s still crying from all BF and Xmas sales…) 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
I hear you – my wallet is weeping too!
Not highlighting, no. But I’m shunning blushes without skin-like effects, so that helps.
Ah yes.. I like a natural tint more than anything or a dot of bronzer.
I don’t have one yet but so tempted !
I’m not sure it will suit my skin tone
which is yellow
