My Experience with NYX Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter- State of Flux:

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 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 “State of Flux” is a cool-toned pinkish highlighter. This highlighter is the most pigmented of all. It has fine silver colored microshimmers in it. This highlighter gives a holographic kind of effect. But, this shade is exclusively suitable for cool toned fair skinned beauties. Though the shade is beautiful, unfortunately it looked too silvery white on my warm skin tone. Hence, I could not make much use of this shade. The shimmers in this highlighter are slightly overpowering and may look a little OTT. It is not a daytime wear highlighter. It is good to be worn at evening parties. The ultra fine shimmers add nice luminescence effect to the skin. Though the shimmers do not transfer around, they budge a little upon touching the face.

The highlighter is very shimmery and pigmented. Hence, one has to be careful while applying this highlighter to avoid looking like a disco ball. The product sets fairly quickly, so I had to be very quick while blending it onto the skin. I sometimes use it on bare skin to achieve a nice and glowing no makeup look. It does not emphasize large skin pores and looks even on the skin. It blends beautifully even with fingers. I found this highlighter pretty easy to blend and it never emphasizes the dry patches of the skin. Though it has a nice creamy formula, it does not make my skin greasy.

The texture is nice and smooth. It is very creamy and blends effortlessly on the skin. These highlighters are amazing for people with dry skin, as it never highlight the 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 to oily skin and it does not make my skin oily at all. Overall, these highlighters are amazing for all skin types. It suits my sensitive skin well and does not cause any allergies or irritations to the skin. The longevity of the highlighter is somewhere around 6-7 hours on my skin, which is again impressive for a drugstore brand. Overall, these highlighters offer really amazing quality.
