This is a very interesting product, I still can’t decide if it’s a bronzer or highlighter. On the one hand, the actual colour is too dark to highlight my skin tone; on the other hand it’s far too shimmery to be a bronzer. So I’m left feeling curious. I like the product design, it’s unusual. I actually didn’t want to use it so I could preserve the design, but then what so of blogger would I be? Especially since the lovely ladies at Estee Lauder provided this for me, the least I could do was use it!
Based on my experience I think this would actually really suit people with a darker skin with warm undertones. Which means I really ought to test this theory out on Sefie! But in my mind I can see this giving her a really sun kissed glow.
As for myself and my NC15 / NC20 skin tone, I’ve actually been using this as an eye shadow for all over the lid which is my favourite way to use it. I have also tried it on my cheek bones as you’ll see below and the result was better than I expected! It blended well into my skin tone. I probably wouldn’t turn to it as my primary highlighter though because I think it tends to make me look a little tanned.
I haven’t been able to find this on the Estee Lauder website, so I’d recommend going to one in store to see if they are still available. These go for $75AU a pop so I recommend testing this in person first anyways before handing over that much moola.

The powder looks cute but I’m afraid it’ll be too dark for my pale skin. Thanks for the review.
