Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight Review

I got this in a gift pack , and was a bit 'meh' about it until i used it.

It's actually lovely! I have shade 01 - 'hefty highlight' in a 3.6g size. I've used it heaps already and would definitely consider repurchasing once i pan all my highlighters.

It winds up and down, and comes hoses in a sturdy tube witha secure lid.

The highlighter is creamy, applies easily and really pops. The stick format allows you to control exactly where you place it - I then blend the edges out a bit with a clean foundation paddle brush. Blending is easier when it is just applied, as it does dry onto skin a little and become a little harder to blend out as it does.

It lasts reasonably well - but I think on a full day's wear it would probably need refreshing.

I can see this being a real summer go to - tan with a pop of highlight is a real summer mood.

I bought this in the U.S where it was a bit cheaper (on special at Target), otherwise I don't think I'd pay the standard NZ price for it. It is super easy to use, and suits my skin in terms of consistency, coverage, and colour. It's just a bit pricey for the amount and type of coverage. I like that I can quickly glide it on then blend with a foundation brush or sponge - it takes me probably less than a minute to get a medium coverage. I also love that it doesn't highlight my expression lines and fine lines like a lot of other foundations tend to do! So that's a big plus for aging skin. It gives a natural look and doesn't dry the skin out, nor break it out. I just wish it were a bit more affordable here, given it's not exactly long lasting. Still, recommended if it's in your budget.

I adore this highlighter. It was noticeable enough that a guy on the other side of the room mentioned it. It glides on easily and then I use a beauty blender to smooth it out and blend over my cheekbones. I also put a dab on my nose too. It lasts all day and the product itself lasts a while too. You only need one swoop and the effect is there. So worth the price too!

The prettiest coloured highlighter, especially for me as I’m fair skinned, it last a long time! Good value for money! the only reason it didn’t work great for me was because of the texture, not being a powder, it sat weird on my skin over foundation, I found it hard to blend! But some people would love the creme texture. Just personal preference but was worth a shot! Love the colour and would buy this in a powder version for sure!
