E.L.F Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls Review and Swatches

Hello ladies! I hope everyone is doing well. Today i will be reviewing my all time favorite highlighter from E.L.F. It is a very affordable makeup brand that stands for Eyes Lips Face, which you can find in drugstores internationally but in Pakistan you can get it online only. The highlighter I selected for review is Moonlight Pearls which is a baked highlighter. 

E.L.F Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls

Moonlight pearls highlighter has plastic packaging which looks very cheap, flimsy and is not travel friendly as baked products are very fragile to carry with such flimsy packaging. It is a light cream color highlighter which has a beautiful champagne sheen and domed shape which all baked products have.

There is no pink color and glitter in it which gives a nice sheen without being glittery. It has good pigmentation. It is easy to build up instead of picking up too much product in the first time. The E.L.F. website also says that you can use it wet for more intensity in color. It contains decent amount of product.  Like other baked powders, it has a dried texture, but this is still smooth. It blends easily. Another issue is the fallout in pan when trying to pick up with a brush so it does have a tendency to get messy in packaging but even that is not too much.

I wear highlighter on my cheekbones, down my nose and anywhere I want a healthy glow. One swipe through this product with my brush and one swipe on the skin and it gives a perfect glow to my face without being overly shiny. It gives you that nice natural glow but is not overwhelming.  It makes me look healthy and happy :) 

I would definitely recommend it, as it is very affordable with decent pigmentation and good quality product.
