NYX BORN TO GLOW LIQUID ILLUMINATOR and OMBRE BLUSH REVIEW

12:37:00

Hello angels,

Most of you know I went little crazy picking up some of the NEW NYX products I am so eagerly waiting to try them all. So as winter is coming we all need that creamy liquid illuminating highlighter for our skin. I though of trying this liquid illuminators BORN TO GLOW from NYX. They had 3 different shades in it and i went for PURE GOLD. I don't know what was going on in my mind while selecting this shade. But I was really excited to try the gold one. This liquid illuminator comes in a mini plastic tube.

It comes in a liquid form and has a very light texture. The moment you press the tube a gold liquid oozes out which has lots of gold shimmer in it. It has a pearly sheen and looks like metallic gold.

You can mix this with your foundation or moisturizer to give a golden sun kissed glow to your skin. Also you can use after foundation as illuminator on cheekbones to highlight your face.

This product definitely gives you warm golden glow but the shimmer particles are too visible and so I wouldn’t suggest this if you have large pores. Pure gold goes well on warm medium tones rather then fair cool tones. You need just a drop of illuminator and blend it with your fingers on cheekbones. Due to its creamy consistency it blends so well on skin. Also its not so runny or watery in consistency. Very little is required so it really lasts you long.

This illuminator once its set stays for around 7 hrs. It doesn’t look dull neither fades out even in humid climate. Girls having oily or combination skin can definitely use liquid illuminators now as they wont melt down or fade away. The iridescent sparkle stays on long for whole day. The pigmentation is good enough its not sheer neither its like other liquid highlighter which are really difficult to blend in, this illuminator has no fragrance and gives you a very shimmery finish rather than soft glow.

Overall I did like it staying power the most. Also I had not expected it to blend in so well. Being liquid illuminator it really gets difficult to get a soft glow. Also it sets so quickly that you don’t have to wait for long time. This illuminator can go on every skin type and every weather. They are bit expensive but it also lasts you long as very little is required.

Now lets talk about the product which I was most excited about its Ombre blush in shade FEEL THE HEAT.

I absolutely loved the blush its comes in black round plastic case with a full size mirror inside. It doesn't contain any brush so its difficult to use for travelling. This blush has beautiful ombre effect of gold highlighter and Orange powder blush. Its super pigmented and you need very little for flush of color on cheeks. The powder is soft and contains no shimmer. Its super blendable and stays for almost 6-7 hrs. The golden highlighter can be used separately or with the blush. When used together it adds sheen to your blush. I love using both the ways. I really liked the concept of ombre blush and its very attractive the shades are beautiful the one I choose can go well on all skin tones, best for warm indian skin tones.
Overall must have blush highly pigmented and excellent color pay off. The formula is powdery make sure you tap the brush before application as it picks up lot of product. Also the formula is good for oily skin but for drier skin you need to moisturise your skin so that the powder doesn't enhance your dry patches. If you love experimenting with the some bold bright blushes this are the ones for you.
TIP- Please try shades before purchasing as some of the shades may look too dark and patchy.
