New Favourite Highlighter?!

September 05, 2017

Highlighter’s are a complete weakness of mine. I have SO many it’s actually ridiculous. My personal favourite for a long time is, of course, MAC’s Soft and Gentle. Even though it’s quite expensive, my god, is it worth it! I build it up so my cheeks are brighter than my future.


I am a big fan of Topshop’s make-up range. I love the packaging and their make-up is of such a good quality for a high street brand in my opinion! I love their lipsticks and I buy one almost every time I go into Topshop. So, of course, as soon as I found out they released their liquid highlighters, I HAD to get my hands on one.


I did it! I managed to pick one up – and the last one in my local store may I add. They’re similar to the ICONIC liquid highlighters in the sense of the drop feature. I managed to get my hands on the shade ‘Misty’ – a gorgeous rose gold colour.

I am head over heels in love. I think it’s my new favourite. That’s quite a big thing as Soft and Gentle is my recommendation for anyone that’s ever asked me about a highlighter.

As it’s a liquid highlighter, you do need to blend it. Blend, blend, blend. Do not forget this. I just dot it onto my cheeks and blend from there, however, if you don’t blend enough it is very noticeable where you’ve tried, and failed to. My boyfriend actually told me the other day I needed to blend it more and I just sat there shell-shocked (I didn’t even realise he was paying attention all the times I’ve stressed how important blending is in my make-up rambles!) However, I did notice when he said it that it was just in a line on my cheek.


When you have blended it, it leaves a gorgeous glow! You do not need to apply a lot at all! I start with three small diagonal dots going up my cheek bones, and if I think I need more, I just add one more at a time, blend, and evaluate how it is. It will definitely last long due to the little you need each time!

It is honestly SUCH a good highlighter, and for just £12, you can’t really go wrong! I definitely want to pick up one of the golder shades to see how they are. I often go for lighter highlighters, so maybe it’s time to branch out a bit and step out of my comfort zone! It’s definitely a thumbs up from me.

Have you tried this one? Or can you recommend your go-to highlighter for me to try?
