Faces Ultime Pro Metaliglow Opal, Champagne Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing something which can give us that glow we all desire 😉 Yes, a highlighter. I love highlighters and I am obsessed with them especially liquid ones coz you can use them in a numerous ways.

Faces Metaliglow is an old product which they have revamped and brought the new Ultime Pro Metaliglow in this pump packaging, of course with a new price too. Is it worth investing in? Read on to know..

What the Company claims: Faces Metaliglow is a gel based illuminator that glides easily, brightens the complexion and adds instant luminosity. Ultrafine light-reflecting pearls melts into the skin for a polished, natural-looking radiance. It has high percentage of thin pearls to deliver a precious, homogeneous glow. Its aqua based formula leaves a cooling effect on your face. It is dermatologically tested and paraben free.

Metaliglow can be used alone or mixed with a lotion to be used all over your face and body to highlight and create a sun-kissed, bronzed look for a sexier you!

Use it as a highlighter or just pat it over your foundation for a subtle glow.

Ingredients:

Shades Available:

  • Opal
  • Champagne
  • Topaz

MRP: Rs.799/- (Available online on Nykaa)

It comes in this sleek packaging with a black cap and a silver pump dispensor. The pump dispensor is anyday better than the previous packaging which required you to physically remove the product and must have led to a lot of wastage and messiness.

The shade Opal has a silver sheen and is the lightest, would work well for lighter skin tones.

The shade Champagne has a golden champagne sheen and is the mid shade, this would work for all skin tones, especially Indian warm skin tones.

The shade Topaz has a rose gold sheen and is the darkest, would work for medium to dusky skin tones.

I have the shades Opal and Champagne with me today. Talking about the texture, these are quite runny and feel gel like in texture, but are super light and blend easily. But once set, it doesn’t budge, so blend quickly and don’t let it dry. The swatches on my hand were quite difficult to remove.

It gives the softest glow ever, you cannot go overboard with this, as the shimmer is ultra-fine and not even much visible, just giving a beautiful highlight to your face. It never looks heavy or stark. This is the perfect highlighter even for day time.

It stays almost throughout the day, I have worn it for about 8-9 hours and it lasted well.

You can either mix it with your foundation or directly apply it over the foundation on the highest points of your cheeks or do both. See the complete strobing step by step tutorial HERE. You can even layer this with a powder highlighter for more hold and glow.

Here are the swatches:

L-Opal, R- Champagne

I wore the shade Champagne in this video HERE.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this, coz the quantity is pretty good for the price, and there are very few good highlighters available in India especially liquid. This is one of the best in the market currently and the shade Champagne would be universally flattering and work for everyone.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Highlighting Liquid Review, Swatches

Rouge Bunny Rouge Seas of Illumination Highlighting Liquid Review, Swatches

About the brand: Intricate and luxurious cosmetics brand, Rouge Bunny Rouge, twists opulence and beauty with embellished detailing to deliver a range of colour make up that embraces both romance and whimsy. Wearable, blendable and adaptable formulas and shades are at the very heart of Rouge Bunny Rouge. The formulas are absolutely outstanding and have been sourced from the world’s most sophisticated laboratories. We are delighted to be able to share this very unique and qualitative brand with you.

At sunset in the Enchanted Garden, you can fleetingly glimpse the mermaids dancing in the gently lapping waves of the Grand Moon Seas. Evening mists rise and tenderly caress them, lingering languorously on their bodies to gift their skin with uncommon youth and beauty.

We were inspired by this scene to bring you this dream-in-a-bottle, so that you can have your very own transformation. The moisturising surge of liquid pearls will dance whispers on your skin till dawn. Be as playful as the magical being that you are… you’ll still look as sublimely refined and urbanely elegant as the Moon itself. The tiny reflective particles will illuminate you anywhere you choose, with a sinfully quivering effect to quietly showcase your beauty. Bring fine-spun silver thrills by night or by day – to eyes, brows, temples, shoulders… No one can eclipse you, Moon Mermaid.

This multipurpose water-based fluid blends easily with moisturiser, or with foundation, to customise the look – to yours alone. Create an inside-out illumination effect and blend it to a thin, refined wash of pearls. Light fragrance of Cucumber with a touch of Peach Flower will add to your application pleasure. A quartet of shades with Melissa extract to soothe, and Vitamin E to guard against ageing. The highlighting liquid can be used alone or over moisturiser and as a highlighter, over foundation, too.

Small tricks:
Use your fingertips or RBR Foundation Brush (# 009) to apply a fine sheen to moisturised skin. Blend MILK AQUARELLE on top or mix the Liquid Foundation with the Highlighting Liquid and apply the two together for a light-reflecting radiance.

For an almost-invisible bloom of health and radiance, mix with either the PRELUDE IN THE CLOUDS or SERAPHIC VEIL and finish with a hint of powder.

Use ´Sea of Clouds´ (white) for a sophisticated and dramatic effect or ´Sea of Nectar´ or ´Sea of Showers´ (beige and gold versions) for a more subtle shimmer. Use the Foundation Brush or your fingertips to highlight your cheekbones, brow, nose. Use the Sea of Clouds (silver-white) on the bridge of your nose to make it look thinner. A small amount blended into the tip of your nose will make it appear shorter.

Mix any of the four shades with our new Tinted Moisturisers to wash your skin with a light-reflecting radiance.


MRP: £ 45.00 for 30ml (Rs. 3600/-)

L-R: Nectar, Clouds, Tranquility, Showers

I have the small samples of it..I have used it 5-6 times..now I do not use highlighters on a daily basis..but occasionally…these are just awesome ! I guess I won’t need to say anything else..

Blended

Liquid Highlighters..not too shimmery..stay on the whole day..look amazing mixed with a foundation (give an amazing dewy finish) ! What else does one need :p

These are super easy to blend and very easy to work with. I use it at the top of the cheek bones, brow bone, bridge of the nose and cupid’s bow.

I am totally loving them..

The problem with this as always is the availability ! Its available at Zuneta here. This sure is super expensive too !

But if you don’t mind shelling for a good liquid highlighter..I totally recommend this..I love the Sea of Showers the most..it does bring a warm glow to the skin.
