Longevity: For the sake of comparison, I've worn this solely on my bare skin, solely over Hourglass's mineral veil primer, and over a full face of makeup (with Nars's tinted moisturizer as the base.)Īs expected, the highlighter lasted the shortest amount of time on my bare skin. If you want a "strobing" level of highlight, you can also easily build it up. If you want it sheer, you can easily buff it out. Overall I think the highlighters are very easy to blend and build up. If you like super subtle highlight though, this could be an option for ya. I've also tried applying it with a wet beauty.blender and beauty.blusher but they don't pick enough pigment so I have to keep layering to build up the highlighter to where I want it. The powder is a bit too pressed to apply with my usual brush of choice for highlighters- MAC's 159 brush. A quick swirl in the pan and the brush picks up enough pigment for both cheeks. My preferred method of application is with the Real Techniques highlight brush. For all intents and purposes, these feel more like a $40 highlighter than a $4 highlighter to me.Īpplication:I like to apply Precious Petals onto the high points of my cheek bones, because duh it's a highlighter. One of my least favorite part of cheaper highlighters is their tendency to have large chunks of glitter in them, but these two highlighters don't. They have the perfect balance between sheen and glitter. Of course that doesn't mean I'm going to go around dropping it for kicks to see if they will break.įormulation:Both highlighters are soo buttery soft and pigmented. I have dropped each of them a few times (klutz life) and they haven't broke or chipped. They do have a petal engraved in the powders which is a nice touch and perfect for their "Lost in the Wild Flowers" theme. Packaging:Nothing special here- solid black plastic with a clear front to view the colors.
