When I purchased the Too Faced Candlelight absolutely invisible powder I saw this Candlelight Glow as part of their collection and was taken in by the prettiness of it and its claims to offer a subtle romantic sheen to your face, yep I got sucked in but it works!!
As with the invisible powder the packaging is similar in it beige-gold compact with the name & image of the product printed in a pink/purple glow effect, it looks really pretty atop my makeup organiser. Inside there is a mirror and deep seated powder of two halves, one side is a soft pale pink the other is a deeper pink both loaded with a soft shimmer of silver/gold glitters. Embossed into the powder is an image of chandelier which just adds to its cuteness. Even after using this on several occasions now the chandelier is still clearly visible.
I use this as a blusher on nights out, it’s not something I would wear day to day but is excellent for nights out where the lighting isn’t its best it really makes you face glow. I use a soft blusher type powder brush to swipe this powder over my cheeks, up beside my temples, down my nose and on the tip of my chin, then use the invisible powder to blend it all together to get a soft effect, that actually trims my round fat face =)
If you are scared or haven’t used highlighters before and the whole blending situation is new to you then I would highly recommend this product as its soft and sheer that you can start out lightly and build it up gradually, and if used with the invisible powder its easy to get an easy yet soft, delicate, feminine glow.
This higlighter gives a very nice glow to the skin. Its got gold toned shimmers to it, which i suppose is what makes it look like you're in the glow of a flame. As long as you don't use a heavy hand with this product its fine for everyday, although it looks incredible under artificial lights so that's why i prefer it for night time. As for the 'duo' that this has, i dont really see too much of a difference between the pink and white shades. The white is a little more sheer and the pink a little more warm toned. I swirl them together anyway so it doesn't bother me. I think this is the perfect highlighter for night time, it just gives the face that extra oomph lol. Its not chunky shimmers in it either, and its super easy to apply, it doesn't get everywhere and make you look like a disco ball. It can be very subtle but you can build it up to your desired finish. The packaging is sooo cute as well, and it comes with an awesome sized mirror for touch ups through out the night :)
Tips: Swirl the duo together with a small fluffy brush and sweep onto the high points of your face, these being your cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bones and cupids bow. I usually only apply it too my cheek bones and cupids bow.
