Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter- Golden Lights Review & Demo

October 24, 2016

Last month, I introduced Makeup Revolution on this blog. It’s a European brand that recently landed in London Drugs and Ulta. The brand specialize in affordable palettes with very pigmented and trendy colors and are often dupes of higher end brands! Today’s review will be for the Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter. I’ve been reaching for this a lot recently and it is now a favorite of mine!

Basics

Name: Makeup Revolution Vivid Highlighter
Shade: 3 Shades- I have Golden Lights
Price: $9.99
Size: 8.9g
Available at London Drugs or Ulta

Packaging

On the outside, the packaging is not very impressive. It has a clear plastic top with a black plastic bottom. This is in line with the packaging of Makeup Revolution products. The size of this is bigger than your average blush. Once you open up the lid, the product is so beautiful! The product has a spiral embossing and also a 3D effect. It really reminds me of the MAC extra dimension skinfinishes.

Shade

In the pan, the product is quite white and has a hint of yellow undertone to it. However, once applied, the goldeness shows through more! The best part is when you blend it out. You really see the golden sheen come through and reflect in the light. It almost has a duochrome look to it where it is more white/yellow and then it turns golden when your skin hits the light! It’s so flattering and great for prolonging a summer tan!

Formula

The weird part is that we usually equate smooth and creamy as synonyms for great products. When I swatch this with my fingers, the powder honestly feels dry and chalky. However, when I apply it to my cheeks, it looks absolutely flawless. It stays on for at least 8 hours on my cheeks and continues to give that brilliant reflective duochrome look.

My hands have a lot of lines 🙁 It looks a lot smoother on my cheeks
 
This is my current favorite highlighter for days that I want a strong highlight. Also, since I’ve been more tanned, I find this golden glow even more flattering on my skin! For a casual day at the office, I can just use a lighter hand. But I love that it’s so pigmented and reflective so when I want to pile on the highlighter, this product makes it easy! Overall, I highly recommend this product for an affordable in your face glow!

Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❤️‍🔥🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) 🚅
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single eyeshadow from merit is all I need! 💚
I've been using this a lot on my vacation and it stays on amazingly well all day even with the humidity.
I went for a more unique shade but all the basic browns and neutrals are available too!

Would you swap your current eyeshadow for this?
