My Review

These have a lovely super sheer formula and are very emollient based. They are very natural looking highlighters, and don’t have a lot of shimmer but do add dewy hydration to the skin. Perfect for people that don’t really love highlighter.

They have a clear base which means they should work on most skin tones. They are all subtle, and I had to layer up for the swatches so that you can see the shades better.

It does have quite an oily texture, so if you like products that feel nourishing and emollient on the skin, you will love this. It gives the skin a very pretty sheen but it can feel a little sticky if I apply too much.

In terms of application, I think it’s best to press this on to the skin gently, because it can move the products underneath a little, as it has such an emollient texture.

It’s actually really lovely as an underglow – so you can use it to prime your skin where you want to look a bit dewier under makeup. I am still playing with these but I think I like the Cava shade the most.
