Kevyn Aucoin Starlight : The Summer Highlighter

I'll admit I haven't tried a huge amount from Kevyn Aucoin, but what I have tried, I have loved and the Celestial Powder in Starlight is no exception. 

I have had my eyes on the original Celestial Powder in Candlelight for some time which is a pale, champagne gold colour, however, the highlighters I already have seem to be in such a similar colour family I didn't know if I could justify it, such as the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow and The Balms Mary Lou Manizer (you can see a swatch of Mary Lou here) .

Candlelight just looks so beautifully subtle and more muted than Mary-Lou.

However, when I saw Starlight I thought I could definitely justify it as it is quite unlike what I already have!

Starlight is a gorgeous peach/pink colour. 

I'm not talking pink like benefits High Beam (which is too pink for my tastes) it definitely has some warmer peach in there. 

 When I first swatched this in SpaceNK, I could believe how pigmented and glowy it was.

It was so smooth to the touch and the colour just screamed summer.

 There are more shimmer particles in this than Candlelight, but it is not obvious.

I love wearing this on the tops of my cheek bones, sweeping up in a C-shape near the ends of my eyebrows and on the cupids bow. 

I think if you are going for that summer bronzey look and you want a highlighter that adds a warmer peachy glow a oppose to a champagne, I think you will really like this. 

I have been loving adding a touch of this over my Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel. 

If you are familiar with the Mary-Lou Manizer, you will be aware that you have to be very, very careful to make sure you don't get too much on your brush and you have to make sure you really tap off any excess- you wont have that issue here.

This never looks metallic like an over application of Mary-Lou can do. 

I apply this with my Smashbox Fan Brush for a lovely peachy sheen that can be built up if needed.

I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this this summer.

I am all about the warm corals/peaches/bronzes - nothing looks better with a tan so I know this little guy will be my new summer fling.

Have any of you tried the Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powders?

Do you reckon I can justify Candlelight?
