   I LOVE this palette. I’m so devastated that I didnt get a back up. Both the bronzer and highlighter formulas are incredible and very buildable! My favourite face palette, if you get the chance to pick this up somehow, go for it! The only thing I could say is this probably won’t work for deep skin tones

   Finally a highlighting/bringing palette that I can use on mature skin. The formula is magic! It goes on so beautifully and can be built up if you need to be seen from every planet! Something about this and the highlight formula has me coming back to it daily…most highlighters look chunky or emphasize texture, and generally aren’t flattering on mature skin but this is the exception…you won’t end up looking like the disco ball from a bad 80’s night club, you will look like you have the most glowing skin ever! The shade choices are great in this palette along with matte bronzer and I like that. Wish this wasn’t LE bc I don’t know what I will do when I hit pan!!!

   This is a very beautiful wet/dry highlighter with two matte bronzers. If you have the banc de sable palette you probably don’t need this- unless you need the bronzers or want the convenience of another palette. Using it wet does give it a more intense glow. There are a few highlighters that I’ve found that are quite similar to some of these colors- some high end and some drug store brands as well. The colors of this palette wear well and are very blendable! My more detailed review is below.

   This palette is everything if you’re a bronzing and highlighting addict!
   I’ll start with the price, £45 for 6 ‘products’ from NARS is amazing. 4 highlights, 2 bronzers. They’re a little smaller in size than the full (3.2g each) however at the moment I do believe the 4 highlighters are limited edition.

   The highlights are: Rivage, Crique, Corniche & Galet. They can be used dry, but are also branded as ‘water activated’ highlights. And apparently the first NARS has done. I’m not 100% sure on how they should be used in this scenario, I’ve tried dampening my brush (with regular water in a misting bottle) which makes the highlight a little more subtle and ‘molten’ looking. With a setting spray over the top it does seem to become a little brighter & more dewy. Please get in touch if you know how they’re best used!

   The 2 bronzers are the classic Laguna & Casino, both beautiful bronze shades, however I’m extremely pale and even I can find these two light I feel as though a darker shade should’ve been included for darker skin tones or for contouring.

   The highlighters come in the most beautiful shades, Rivage – Pearl colour
   Corniche – soft lilacish pink
   Crique – light cool-toned gold
   Galet – slightly darker warm-toned gold

   My only issue with this palette so far is that it took a bit of ‘warming up’ if you will, to get the product going. It seems to be too light at first & I was fairly disappointed. It’s almost as though you need to break the seal, but after a few uses the highlighter is beautifully pigmented.
   The bronzers are not so pigmented in this palette, they create a lovely bronzey glow, however I’m admittedly a little disappointed in them.

   All in all, this product is gorgeous, well worth the hype and the price. Plus the packaging is just stunning.
