My Experience with NYX Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter Moonbeam:

Let’s begin with the packaging of the product. The highlighter comes in a sleek lip gloss kind of plastic tube. The tube is transparent and can be easily spotted in the makeup stash. It has typical glossy screw on type cap that shuts securely, making it leak-proof and travel-friendly. The cap has a typical doe-foot applicator that helps to apply the product easily. The applicator is soft and very gentle. The tube bears the necessary product related information on it. The shade name and ingredients list are printed on the side of the tube. I like the tube packaging, as it is very small and easy to carry. Overall, the packaging is nice and travel-friendly.

The shade “Moonbeam” is a beautiful and subtle peach highlighter. It has a fine blend of golden and silver colored fine microshimmers. The shimmers are so finely milled that gives this highlighter a slightly metallic yet subtle finish. It adds nice glow to the skin. This is one of the prettiest shades in this collection. This shade is best suited for Indian skin tones. The shade goes very well on my skin tone and I am wearing this shade quite often. The shimmer particles are ultra fine and does not look chunky. Though, the shimmers does not transfer around, they budge a little upon touching the face. The highlighter is lovely for everyday use and looks subtle even at the daytime.

The highlighter is not too shimmery nor insanely pigmented. Hence, one has full control on building up the intensity of the highlighter. This makes it a great choice for beginners as well. The product sets pretty quickly, so I had to be very quick while blending it into the skin. Sometimes, I use it on bare skin to achieve a nice and glowing no makeup look. It does not emphasize large skin pores and looks smooth. It blends beautifully even with fingers. I found this highlighter pretty easy to blend and it never emphasizes dry patches of the skin. It is decently pigmented and easily buildable. Though it has creamy formula, it does not make my skin greasy nor it leaves any residue behind.

The texture is nice and smooth. It is kind of creamy and blends effortlessly on the skin. People with dry skin will love it for sure, as this does not cling to dry patches of the skin. The texture is so lightweight and non-sticky. It does not give any greasiness to the skin. I have combination-oily skin and it does not make my skin oily at all. So, it is suitable for all skin types. It suits my sensitive skin so well and does not break me out. I am currently obsessed with this highlighter and using it almost every single day. This one has become my holy grail highlighter. I have not faced any skin issues with them so far. The lasting power is somewhere around 5-6 hours on my skin, which is again impressive for a drugstore brand.
