Review (3/5): If you have flawless skin, this is for you. If not...
I really wanted to love this. I bought the Opals palette and I love the colors and the amount of shimmer. However, I feel like it sits on top of the skin and is impossible to blend in. I will say I have taken to mixing a tiny bit (really, really mix!!!) into my foundation. It gives me a little glow that wears nicely. As a highlighter for just portions of the face, it’s a different story.
You need to use a VERY light hand if you’re going to be anywhere near daylight. I’ve certainly gotten compliments outside while wearing it.
But as soon as I go inside, it COMPLETELY disappears. I mean, it’s gone. There’s nothing. So I can either go nuts and look like a clown on the way to my car and look kinda glam in office, or look like I’m not wearing anything.
I’ve also found this wears poorly over foundation or moisturizer. I’ve tried it with multiple brands. It sticks on tops and makes it look like I have glittery fine lines a few hours into wear. If you are prone to a pimple or breakout, this will sit on top of any blemish, no matter how much concealer you started with.
For someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, this palette has lasted a long time. I don’t think I will buy it again, though. I think it’s best for someone with NO ACNE AT ALL and NO WRINKLES OR FINE LINES. So if you’re a 20 year old model, enjoy! As a 30 year old with mild adult acne, I am not impressed.
