Streetwear Instant Highlighter in Gold Light Review

Highlighters usually are used to provide a youthful, dewy complexion and to give the face a subtle glow. I am not a big fan of makeup on a regular basis and so I don’t have a highlighter in my makeup repertoire. But once during a wedding, I saw a lady who had sparkly eyes and it wasn’t the usual eye shadow effect that I had normally seen on people. I asked her what she had used and bought one for myself the very next weekend 😀 *Shiny disco, disco. Shiny disco balls*

My Experience with Streetwear Instant Highlighter in Gold Light:

This highlighter is actually a glittery product used to provide speckles of glittery goodness to your festive look. It is definitely not the sparkles you get in packets for stationary purposes if that’s what you are worried about 😛 It is very fine and powdery and gives just the right kind of shimmer that you need when you are rocking a designer sari or elaborate lehenga. This particular product is almost a coppery gold colour. They also have a silver one.

It comes in a plastic cuboidal body with a roller ball inside – that’s very convenient imagining how easily I could scatter the powdery product everywhere while trying to apply it! The roller ball ensures that only the right amount of product falls out every time.

It has got no liquid medium and so it doesn’t impart a glossy sheen, and so is perfect for oily-skinned girls like me. This is basically just sparkly fine powder. In spite of that, it is quite easy to spread onto your skin. You could either dab some of the powder on the back of your palm and use your fingers to apply this onto your skin or you could also use a makeup brush to brush it on. Having tried both methods, I like the latter for its better and uniform spread-ability. Using fingers can lead to uneven deposit of the product on the skin. By no means should you apply the roller ball directly on to the face. It will leave you looking like you washed your face with glitter.

Though I initially bought this to use below my eyebrows, I sometimes also use it at the ends of my cheekbones for a nice shimmer.  This lasts for almost as long as I want it, sometimes to the extent that I need to rub it off really well to remove the last traces. Of course that kind of staying power is what we want when we buy makeup for celebrations!

Pros of Streetwear Instant Highlighter in Gold Light:

• Perfect for the festive shimmer look.
• Stays on for a really long time.
• Roller ball ensures that the product isn’t scattered everywhere.

Cons of Streetwear Instant Highlighter in Gold Light:

• Not a subtle product for everyday highlighting.
• Spreading with fingers can cause a very messy look.
• Roller ball cannot be directly used on face.
