Mac x Philip Treacy High-Light Powder Review


Source: Google




Hello guys,

Todays post is a review of Mac and Philip Treacy Highlight powder,



 As you may or may not know, i love a good highlight! So much that it has actually become a personal joke between my friends and i. (imagine the infamous Instagram high-light on 'fleek' picture,  afraid that's so me). But high-light completes the look, makes us feel good and who doesn't love a glow. Whether its under the eyes, or above the cheekbone, highlight is a great way to create a glow and brighten areas of the face that we want to bring attention to. There are many techniques, contour and highlight, strobing. Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea..

For a while now, i have been searching for an every day natural 'powder' high-light, for when i want a subtle  glow, to complete an every day makeup look. And For when i don't have time for full glam and my usual 'wet' highlight.  Well, i have finally found the product which is the Nude Pink high-light powder from this collection! And i have found, as with most highlighters, a little goes a long way.

Mac Cosmetics and designer Philip Treacy. London's leading Haute couture hat designer, i believe they represent a unique partnership. Treacy took inspiration from his work to create a fantastic collection.

This collaboration consists of two limited edition high-light powder shades, three lipsticks,  a mascara, a new fluid line and paint pot shade (Breathe). In this post, i am going to be reviewing the High-light powders, in the shades Nude Pink and Blush Pink.

Nude Pink is a champagne and light pink shade to create a subtle glow. The blush Pink is a light pink shade, both have a slight silver shimmer to them and they can both also be used for a subtle blush. The Nude Pink is my favourite out of the two shades. They are very similar as you can see from the swatches below,  but i prefer the nude because its something a little bit different.
         



They retail for £23 each in the UK, and $32 in the US.

Overall, i really like these high-light powders. They are extremely pigmented and are great for creating a subtle glow. I would recommend them if you are looking for an every day subtle high-light.



I hope you enjoyed this review, and it helps if you were looking to purchase some or just curious.
