This is hands down the best spontaneous purchase I have made in a long time. I just walked past it in Selfridges and although I admired its beauty...I walked on. However, one of the lovely ladies at the Bobbi Brown counter grabbed me and said I must try it.
Usually i'm pretty good at saying no, but the moment I saw that sheen, I was done.
Here we have the Bobbi Brown Highlighter in Pink Glow.
I have never owned a BB highlighter before...in fact now I think of it, I think everything I own from her is matte. GOOD GOD this woman does glow well.
The moment the light hit my cheeks, I saw this beautiful, ethereal yet refined glow.
Do not be fooled by the name, this is not 'Pink' - we aren't talking Benefits High Beam, this is more of a beige with a hint of pink/peach. There is no overwhelming colour to this, it is just very sheeny.
If highlighters are your thing- I really think you should check this out.
The texture is incredibly smooth yet it does not kick up any excess powder. It is very dense in the pan so one would assume it's dry- but it's not.
My preferred method of application is with a fan brush on the high points of my face. Pink Glow is very buildable so it's up to you to create as much glow as you like.
I have applied this with my Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder brush but for my tastes it came off a little too strong.
If applied heavily, this can look quite metallic. It still looks wonderful, but for me it is a little too much- especially in the day time.
The swatches really don't do this justice- I'm still trying to get used to the lighting in my new flat.
This is a firm favourite in my make up collection and I have worn it constantly since I picked it up.
I have fair/medium skin with warm undertones and this really suits me. If you are a touch darker though, there is a bronzier shade which may be better suited.
Bottom Line : I am in love. You need this.
