When I started doing my makeup a couple
of years ago, I used to dislike glowing skin. The reason for that was
that my skin was pretty oily at the time, and I couldn't wear dewy
foundation or highliter, as I would look like an greasy disco ball.
Now, don't ask me why but my skin type recently changed, it became
normal/nearly dry. I now have fewer spots and with that comes the
possibility to indulge in some extremely dewy/light coverage
foudations (again, Rimmel « Wake Me Up » is one of my
favourites), as well as in some highliters.
In my hunt for the perfect touch of
shimmer, I stumbled upon the H&M cosmetics highliter
when I was sale shopping on their website without having many
expectations. Needless to say I was wrong.
This baby gives a gorgeous shimmery
glow, very much on the pink side. The texture is slightly powdery
(for 5€, what did you expect ?) but totally « workable ».
It has the perfect amout of pigmentation, far from being invisible,
but not so pigmented you go overboard with it. I think it would look
gorgeous on light/normal skintones, as it might be too pink for olive
skins, and too light for black skin .
I tend to reach over for
it when I want a more subtil glow than the one given by the Mary-Lou Manizer, I amittedly don't like it as much, but for a quater
of the price, it's absolutely worth the shot.
If you ever stumble upon this bargain
buy, I recommend you to give it a go, you can't go wrong. If you did so, please tell me what your thoughs are about it.
See you next time ,
Maddy
