Makeup Revolution Highlighter in Golden Lights Review and Swatch

Makeup Revolution is a UK based brand which is almost one year old now. They have made quite a name for themselves since their launch with their super affordable and good quality products. The product I was most eager to try was one of their Vivid Baked Highlighters as I love highlighters. The Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighters are available in three shades;Golden Lights, Pink Lights and Peach Lights. Today I will be reviewing Golden Lights as I only own this one .

 The packaging is very simple round compact with a clear lid but it still seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the product. For the price you really can't complain. In appearance, the Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter is very similar to the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter. Both have identical texture and looks.

When I first swirled my fingers over the pan, I was surprised by how rough and chalky the powder felt. I thought that it would be quite chunky to apply, however it has such a smooth, lightweight texture which picks up onto a brush, and applies easily. Due to the texture it is also quite easy to pick up too much product, so you have to be very careful not to over apply it. It can also enhance your pores and other imperfections. Color wise, 'Golden Lights' really isn't golden at all, it's very much a typical a cream/off-white highlight shade which is just beautiful, and I am very happy with it.

 A good thing is that it has minimal fallout. Unless you give crazy brush-swirls in the pan, you won't notice the fallout. I have used it for more than 4-5 times and the design is intact. This highlighter is insanely pigmented, as the swatch was taken using a brush with 2 or 3 swipes only.Golden Lights is a dupe for NARS Albatross. I don't own one, so can't say anything about that yet. If you own both, do let me

know your thoughts!
