Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight Review

After months of hearing about the glory that is the Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight ($42), I had to get my hands on it.  After oohing and aahing over it at Space NK in London, I took the plunge and haven't looked back.


I've been using this daily since I bought it, the perfect highlighter.  I'm not one who wants a really obvious and obnoxious glow to my cheeks, I prefer something subtle, and this does just the trick.  Enough to give your cheeks a glow under sunlight, and even under artificial lighting (though not as much), this highlighter is worth every penny.


The champagne color works well with just about any skin-tone, but probably suits warmer tones better than cooler tones, overall.  The powder itself is so finely milled and easy to apply and blend, I really can't believe I've lived without it.  Another thing I love about it is that the powder isn't necessarily sparkly, it doesn't have huge chunks of glitter that make it really obvious that you applied a ton of highlighter that morning, it just looks natural on the skin.

I also like the packaging, long and sleek, it fits perfectly inside of a makeup bag, and works really well for travelling.  It also includes a really large mirror, which is also really convenient for when you're on the go.  There's 5 grams of product included, which I also think is pretty good considering you only need a little bit of this to brighten up your complexion.

Highly recommend this to anyone looking into getting it!
