Thanks for the Glow: Eight Luminous Highlighters

Image
A Week of Gratitude Luminous Highlighters I love layering highlighters over blush, which is why shades like Makeup Geek’s Moon Phase and Celestial remain go-tos for me, as they help add coolness to any cheek look and lots of neat shift.  I’ve been loving Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter under and mixed in with foundation, and I tend to switch between the first three shades in the range with no particular favorite within those.  If you’re wondering about some other picks you may have seen me wearing, they’re likely included in other posts in the series and I didn’t want to be  too repetitive.

ColourPop Make Believe & Pitter Ponder Ultra Satin Liquid Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Image
Make Believe Colour Pop Make Believe Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($6.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, periwinkle blue with cool undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the consistency was lightweight, smooth, and spreadable but seemed to have a bit more slip. That extra slip made it pull away slightly along my lip lines and appeared “cracked” when I smiled. The liquid lipstick was comfortable to wear, as it didn’t slide around, and after an hour or so, it had minimal transfer. It stayed on well for over six hours and didn’t feel drying over time but did settle into my lip lines a bit over time.

Tom Ford Liquid Sun Soleil Glow Drops Review & Swatches

Image
Liquid Sun Tom Ford Beauty Liquid Sun Soleil Glow Drops ($50.00 for 0.47 oz.) is a translucent base with fine white and silver pearl. Against my skin tone, the fine pearl catches the light so well that it almost looked like micro-glitter yet I couldn’t see individual particles so much as a sheen and a glimmer as the light reflected off of my skin. I did, occasionally, see almost pink pearl, though I’m not certain that it wasn’t just a trick of the light. The liquid highlighter had a thin, water-gel like texture–more water-like than a thicker, gel, but it had enough substance to it that it spread easily across my skin evenly and with good dispersion. It dried down and set to a more powder-like finish within 30 seconds of blending and spreading the product out on my cheek bones. The liquid highlighter applied well to bare skin and gently patted on top of liquid foundation with fingertips or with a duo-fiber cheek brush. I preferred using a brush with this particular formula as it se...
