Makeup Revolution Highlighter Palette : Radiance

If you read beauty blogs then you've probably already heard about this palette since it's been compared to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette by everyone who owns it. I do not own the Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette so I couldn't tell you whether that's true or not, but what I can tell you is this palette is frequently sold out on Makeup Revolution's website and after finally getting my hands on it I know why! The palette consists of 3 finely milled highlight powders that claim to bring instant illumination to your complexion. I can vouch that this is definitely true. These aren't highlights in the classic sense of the word, but when lightly dusted all over your face they give a soft glow to your skin which is totally naturally and completely beautiful. 




After swatching, I suppose you could safely call the third a true highlight, but it's definitely not intense like other highlights. If you want a subtle shine then this palette would definitely be for you. I wear the first shade all over my face and it makes my skin appear softer...not in the "oh her skin looks so soft" way, more in the I look like I'm standing underneath beautiful lighting sort of way. As of right now the website still has this in stock so I'll link it here. If you are in the market for an illuminating skin powder then I would definitely recommend this!

Have you guys tried anything like this before?

  1. I really want to try the Hourglass Ambient Lighting, so I may have to pick this up instead as it's more in my budget range!
