Review:

Highlighting and contouring is not a new concept. To some it can be intimidating, to others it is apart of their daily routine. I’ve found what works for me, and it was definitely a work in progress. And I love finding and trying new things. When I finally saw this product in person, I instantly fell in love. The palette has shades for both cool (Sand, Fawn, Vanilla) and warm (Java, Havana Banana) undertones. I have a warmer undertone so I tend to gravitate towards Banana for a highlight and Havana for a contour color.

Disclaimer: My highlight is not Banana alone. I have NYX correcting concealer to cover my dark circles and Maybelline AgeRewind in “Nuetralizer” as a base highlight. Here’s an example of how I placed the liquid highlighter.
