Anastasia Aurora | Highlight Palette Review

I found this palette recently at my local TKMaxx, and thought that it was a good price for it, but it turned out that they were selling it at the same retail price as usual so it was a little disappointing. The palette is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora highlighter palette. They call it a glow kit which is probably more apt, as this palette is glowy for sure.

This palette contains six shades of different highlight shades. I love this because usually with highlighter you only get a light white highlight but this palette has lots of different shades which can give different hues for different looks. There are two beige colours, one blue, one white, one purple and one a mix of blue and beige. Eclipse is the most neutral of the shades and will blend into your skin the most natural if you have pale tones. Luna is a white shade which gives the brightest shimmer on the cheek. Spectra is the darkest shade in the palette but on the skin it isn't as purple as it looks, it leaves a purple hue but in a clear shimmer. These shades are amazing in different lights. Helia is very bright also and comes out a lot whiter than the whiter shade but the shimmer colours change. Orion is a blue shade and it is again light on the skin but enough to leave an icy finish. Lyra is the most orange and gold shade and leaves a gold finish on the skin.

I love this highlighter palette and if you love a good shimmer and a strong highlight I would highly recommend this palette. It has such good pigmentation and you can layer it easy. It picks up on camera really nicely too.
