Even with summer (almost) in full swing, I would say I’m pale 95% of the season. The other 5% is when I sporadically decide to get an organic spray tan or use an at-home slow-glow lotion. Searching for cosmetics that pair well with my fair skin is no easy feat. I usually spend an absurd amount of time reading product reviews searching for those special nuggets of information like “looks great for fair and neutral undertones.” It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack. Sometimes I take the risk and buy the product, most of the time… I don’t.
With that in mind, I made my first purchase last week from ColourPop Cosmetics and now I’m hooked! I purchased a variety of makeup products (more on that in a future post) but one of the products I want to share with you is the ColourPop Highlighter Trio, specifically recommended for fair skin tones.
Needless to say, that made my validation process extremely quick and easy.
The $20 trio includes the following shades:
Scrumptious— a pearlized silvery baby pink
Glazed— a tie dye soft ivory gold
Flexitarian— a pearlized intense white champagne
Just based on packaging alone, I’m obsessed with this collection of highlighters. The texture of this ColourPop highlighter trio is unlike anything I’ve ever owned—like satin putty. As someone who has always relied on highlighter sticks, this formula made it easier to blend and build on for an intense glow. I used my fingers to apply on my cheekbone, cupid’s bow and the inner corner of my eyes. The brand recommends on the store page to use a flat synthetic foundation/cheek brush but using my fingers worked really well too.
Are you a long-time ColourPop fanatic? I’d love to get more product recommendations!
I haven’t tried their highlighters yet, but I’m OBSESSED with their super shock shadows. Wow, they are GORGEOUS. They seriously last all day long, sometimes I even use them as a base for some other powder shadows. I bought a couple and was automatically hooked. The texture is the same as the highlighter and goes on so easily. I highly recommend you try it! Let me know if you need any color recommendations. I’ve acquired quite a few in the past month and a half. 🙂 The only downfall I’ve discovered has nothing to do with the shadow itself, and just the fact that sometimes the color online is a little different from the color in person. But I highly recommend!
Yeah so when I placed my order last week I got the highlighter trio and 3 super shock eyeshadows and a lip gloss. Obsessed with the super shock eyeshadows! My only grievance is that they don’t have swatches on what it looks like for multiple skin tones. I end up browsing on Pinterest for examples so it’s a bit time consuming. I agree, some of the shadows don’t look the same on as they do in the photos. Right now I’m wearing Wattles and it’s a nice everyday shadow.
