I think the reason why I love this Candlelight Glow is because it has that same silky texture of Amber Diamond. It provides just enough of a sheen to highlight the tops of my cheekbones ever so softly. When the light catches its tiny shimmer particles (not glitter), it really smooths the appearance of your skin. I wish I had swatches for you, but I just couldn't capture its beauty no matter what lighting or camera setting I tried. One side of the powder is a white gold, the other a golden pink that picks up different colors, almost like an aurora borealis crystal. When swirled together, the two sides blend beautifully into a warm golden sheen. It's very, very flattering and pretty. I think it would work quite well on most skin tones.
If you happen upon Candlelight Glow, I highly suggest swatching it for yourself! Dior is still my number one, but this comes in a close second.
Reminder: My Stella & Dot online trunk show is still happening here

I absolutely love the packaging. So girly girly! I love highlighters myself. I never tried amber diamond, but I have heard great things about it. I will be checking out the two faced highlighter next time I'm in Macy's. Great blog by the way. Thank you for the kind comment you left on my blog in regards to my new beauty consulting business. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's going well!
DeleteOooh- I need to check this out; sounds so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you had to purchase it - the white and pink with the imprinted chandelier is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love anything with a little shimmer to make my skin look luminescent -- this is gorgeous!

Benefit High Beam is my favorite!! I use it on my eyebrow bone, top of my cheeks, and inner corner of my eyes. It works exceptionally well in photos. Check it out on me I'm wearing it in all of my blog pictures.

I've never tried a highlighter. This one looks so pretty, I might need to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why the packaging caught your eye - it is so pretty itself! Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I haven't checked this out yet! I have the Too Faced Candlelight and I'm obsessed with it. I use it for a broader highlight than I would a cream or something as pigmented as NARS Albatross and it's better for every day highlighting. Definitely adding this to my makeup shopping list.
