Etude House: Golden Ratio Face Glam Review: #2 Pink
Well, here's the promised review of one of my most favourite highlighters ever.
ETUDE HOUSE: GOLDEN RATIO FACE GLAM in #2
Product description: Dual (liquid & cream) base highlighters applicable to T & C zones, cheekbones and eyes for brightening, highlighting coverage and subtle pearl expression.
PRICE: 648 PHP
Here's the top of the product. It comes with a cheek/eye brightener! A 2-in-1 product!
Here's a swatch of it...
Then here's it partially blended...
Top is the highlighter blended, then the bottom is the cheek/eye brightener. The highlighter is somewhat of a metallic pink (but still very flattering!) while the cheek/eye brightener is white. You can tell that the eye brightener would actually work
That's me looking somewhat haggard, lol. I took the picture after having a medtech event so you can see that this product has longevity :D
Anyway...
Texture: Watery, easy to spread. Only problem is, sometimes you can take out more than you need. It has a spatula (which I forgot to take a picture of, silly me! XD), and it's easy to disperse the product. User-friendly :3
Shade: Pink. Flattering for fair skintones but I have no idea about medium to tan skintones. Maybe the #1 variant would be better?
Scent: It smells like lotion. You know the Vaseline original lotion? It smells just like that. And I actually like the smell because it brings me back to childhood.
Longevity: It has excellent longevity; it lasted well throughout the day, as you can see in the picture above.
What I think:
A 2-in-1 product, so it's not only very spiffy, but it is also very convenient and price-friendly. I use this first thing in the morning and I enjoy the dewy look I get from it. It's also a very good alternative to the expensive Nymph Aura Volumer. You can mix this 1:1 ratio with bb cream and end up with a pleasant glow. It has no annoying, big globs of glitter, so you don't have to be afraid of it!
And the eye brightener really helps because I have huuuuge eyebags and I always want to cover them up well! The eye brightener is very shimmery and you have to blend it well because the consistency is way thicker than the cheek highlighter. Anyway, this does my skin and myself justice, so I'm gonna have to say
YES!
Rating: 4/5
*Gave it a 4/5 only because the eye brightener is really useful, but on the otherhand, I use it only when my eyebags need severe coverup! D:
