MY THOUGHTS
To be totally honest with you, I am head over heels in love with the new Diamond Highlighter by TooFaced.
I think the packaging is really adorable but also very clever, as TooFaced have effortlessly combined the idea of a diamond ring – hence the jewellery box styled packaging – to what a diamond may well look like in makeup form and on the complexion! The shade is also perfect for me. As I would personally describe the Diamond Highlighter as a very subtle cream champange shade with an also very subtle purple holographic reflect? It isn’t an overpowering highlight at all in my opinion, although one that I certainly wouldn’t describe as subtle either. I just really enjoy using this highlighter on a regular basis, regardless of the occassion.
I must tell you, however – that I would not use this highlighter on any other areas than the top of my cheekbones and perhaps the top of my shoulders. As this highlighter does give a rather subtle purple reflect, I would not say that it is an appropriate shade to use on any other facial areas, like down the center of ones nose for example.
In all though – and as you’ve probably guessed already, I really do like this highlight and am very impressed by what TooFaced have achieved. I love the cream-like finish that this powdered-product gives to my skin – as quite often, powdered products like this can sometimes look a little too heavy and cakey on the skin, espeically on a naturally drier skin type similar to mine. The shine and intensity of this highlighter is also beautifully buildable, which I personally really admire. It has an incredibly smooth formula, which also just ensures that whilst giving yourself high-shine and a beautiful glow, you are also going to have beautifully flawless skin and an ultra-smooth finish where your highlight is concerned!
