Sleek 'Precious Metals' Highlighter Palette (Day 155)

I've been super into highlighting over the summer months. 

I popped into Superdrug the other day and found this handy little kit by Sleek for £9.99. It has four highlighters, three cream and one powder. All of the colours live up to the palette name: 'Precious Metals' as all the colours are so iridescent are pretty.

The palette contains four different colours. The first 'Platinum' is a very, very white highlighter. It's definitely not one that I use on my cheekbones as I find it is way too much and makes me look even more washed out (if that is even possible). However, I have found a way to make this work for me. I've found it works perfectly in the corners of my eyes to make me look more awake. I've also been using this under my eyebrows to really highlight the arch and make them the focal point of my look. The second colour in the palette is 'Royal Gold'. It is a light bronze colour that is perfect for either highlighting or contouring. I've been using it for both and found it works, depending on how defined you want your look to be. The third colour is 'Renaissance Gold'. This is a more peachy than gold but is perfect for the apples of the cheeks and the tops of the cheekbones. The final colour is 'Antique Bronze'. This is the only powder based colour in the palette and is also the darkest of them all. I've been using this colour for contouring more than highlighting as I've found it is just the right amount of colour for me to use. It also has a slight shimmer to it, which makes it perfect for the summer months as it gives my skin a bit of an extra glow.

The colours are all lovely but they do take some time to build up. However this makes it really easy to achieve my desired colour. They are also very blendable which is great for when I make a mistake. I can just take a powder brush and blend the colours out. Simple! All in all, this palette is great for under £10 and is very versatile. I like that if I'm travelling, I can just throw this in my makeup bag and have countless possibilities. 

Talk to you tomorrow, Chloe xx
