This palette actually came out a
while ago and it was very successful. Casey Holmes has been one of my favorite
Youtubers for about two or three years now so when this palette came out I absolutely
had to have it. She came out with two highlighter palettes, one was named gold
and the other was pearl. When I was reading the reviews, a lot of people said
the pearl palette worked better for lighter skin tones while the gold was very
pretty on darker skin tones. I have very light skin so that is kind of what
persuaded me to purchase the pearl instead of the gold.
Since this is my favorite Youtuber I
knew when I picked up the palette that I was going to be a little bias. I have
never worn highlight much before. I was never interested in the intense contour
and highlighting makeup phase. That being said, I have bought other
highlighters before when I was trying to get in highlighters I just never wore
them in public often. That allowed me to have other highlighters that I could
compare this one to.
I fell in love with this palette the
minute I swatched the colors, and I am not just saying that because this is
Casey’s product. The colors are so beautiful and very vibrant. Also, their
shine is incredibly bright. I have owned highlighters that have pieces of
glitter and then when there is fall out the glitter will get all over my
clothes. These palettes are nothing like those. When you apply the highlighter
there is no noticable fall out. Another thing I love about this palette is you
only need a small amount but you can also use more to build up the color and
shine. If you are going for an everyday look then you only need to apply a
little bit but if you want a dramatic look, you can add more and it makes the
tone of the highlighters darker and deeper while still being super shiny. When
I say shiny, I mean the good kind. One of the reasons I do not like
highlighters is because they make me look shiny as in oily and sweaty. When you
apply this highlighter, it looks completely intentional. It brightens up your
face, and, especially in the sun, it looks gorgeous.
I personally love this palette and,
because I don’t wear highlighter consistently, I like to use these shades as
eyeshadows as well. The shades work really well as eyeshadows. I don’t find
them smudging and they are also very easy to blend with other eyeshadows. If
you own the palette, let me know your opinion on it. Also, let me know if you
prefer the pearl or the gold palette because I have heard really good things
about the gold one as well.
