Review: Seventeen | Skin Wow! 3 Way Highlighter |


Highlighters are one of my favourite make up items, just second behind lip stick. Due to having oily/combo skin I've normally leaned more towards the powder versions but liquid highlighters are so versatile and a great multi use product, that I incorporated them into my every day routine easily. 

This offering from Seventeen is the second liquid highlighter that I've tried (Soap and Glory's Hocus Focus was the first). Housed in a slim see through bottle with a handy pump it is quite a thick consistency but is easily sheered out once blended in properly or mixed with your base of choice. It is a very pearlescent pink tinged liquid - for reference it is more Benefit 'High Beam' than 'Moon Beam' - and has a high shimmer finish when used alone. The bottle suggests you can use it to prime, add to your foundation or apply onto cheekbones. I find the priming part a bit pointless unless you are wearing a very lightweight base so it can show through, and it is a bit too glittery for every day highlighting on areas such as cheekbones, brow bone and bridge of nose but is perfect for evening looks. My favourite way to apply is to mix it with any base of choice as it works well with both tinted moisturisers through to heavy coverage foundations. It helps to illuminate your face and perk up your complexion in a subtle way and is now used daily for this purpose. 

If you are looking to dabble in the world of liquid highlighters or looking for a cheaper version of the high end picks then I would definitely recommend this product. It is a little more glittery than I would like but for a budget product it is fantastic - Seventeen seem to have really upped their game!

What are your favourite highlighters? Are you more of a powder or liquid girl? xxx

    1. Same here, I love their miracle matte face powder but that is all I've tried so far. Loads of good new products have been recently released though xxx

  2. Ah this one looks gorgeous! Haven't tried any 17 products but this is definitely on the list now.

    I don't have a lot of highlighters but I love my ELF Baked Blush and my Illamasqua Gleam :)

  4. I've saw so many people rave about this, I think it needs to be added to my collection! I absolutely love the L'Oreal Lumi Magique primer as a highlighter, it's gorgeous. The powder one that comes in the Sleek contour kit is gorgeous too!

    1. You should try this one as it is purse friendly and therefore not too much of a loss if you don't get on with it xx
