Just when we thought that we couldn't possibly get any more excited about highlighting Huda Kattan, total and utter queen that she is, proves us all wrong by dropping 2 new 3D Highlighter Palettes. There is the Pink Sands Edition for fair to medium skin tones and the Golden Sands Edition for medium to dark skin tones. Although, if the Textured Shadows Palette Rose Gold Edition is anything to go buy these are going to cost a pretty penny. They will be available to purchase mid-April. What is unique about these palettes is that, instead of a typical highlight palette with just several colours to choose from, all these shades are designed to be used together. They compliment each other to create a gorgeous 3D glow on the cheeks. Most of you know I don't care much for highlighter, I find it emphasises texture and pores but Huda's palettes are formulated with shea butter and coconut oil for a smooth, seamless, professional and flattering application on all skins.
The 4-step technique to creating this coveted glow, courtesy of Huda Beauty website, is:
1. Prep: Apply Melted Strobe as a base to smooth the skin and amplify the light reflecting pearls.
2. Set: Dab the lightest highlight from cheek to temple to set and bring out the pop.
3. Sculpt: Apply the darker shade under cheekbones to add dimension and shape.
4. Flush: Sweep the rosy highlight on the apples of your cheeks for a healthy glow.
PINK SANDS EDITION (FAIR-MEDIUM)
This is the Pink Sands Edition 3D Highlighter Palette suitable for fair to medium skin. I love the shade names: Capri, Santorini, Azores and Ibiza. All gorgeous sandy destinations that fit with the theme of the palette. These palettes won't have a mirror from what I have seen and I think that is a mistake. The colours here look very complimentary and I think anyone of any skin tone would be able to use this palette. The idea is that this palette isn't supposed to be used only for highlighting and that is where the slightly darker shade like Capri and the pinky hued Ibiza will help frame the entire cheekbone. These formulas and colours are designed to create the most flattering highlight so ideally it would be smooth, glossy not glittery and won't look like a stripe of colour.
GOLDEN SANDS EDITION (MEDIUM-FAIR)
The Golden Sands Edition 3D Highlighter Palette is formulated with medium to dark skin tones in mind, I think I am more drawn to this palette myself. The shade names are Eastern destinations (correct me if I am wrong): Fiji, Seychelles, Tahiti and Zanzibar, and I think Tahiti would be gorgeous over a contour and Zanzibar looks less pink, than Ibiza, and more coral which is my go-to blush shade. To be honest, if you put the word gold or golden in anything I am pretty much guaranteed to buy it. So hopefully if this palette isn't £50 I will get it. I really love the look of this palette.
SWATCHES
Above you can see swatches of both 3D Highlighter Palettes on a variety of skin tones demonstrating that all colours show up so it really is based on personal preference. I still lean towards the Golden Sands Edition 3D Highlighter Palette for myself and I am keen to hear everyone's thoughts on this upcoming launch. I can't wait for everyone's reviews and posts. I know I am slightly biased, Huda Beauty to me is like Charlotte Tilbury for everyone else. I just find her to be such a gorgeous inspiration and feel like she puts genuine thought and purpose into her products to set them apart from the rest. Please let me know your thoughts on the 3D Highlighter Palettes in the comments below and share your favourite go-to highlighting products of the moment to keep me entertained until mid April. Thank you so much for reading, I appreciate each and every one of you! Of course, don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' and my social media links are below. Take care.

DeleteI think these palettes and the concept is pure genius! First off, I LOVE Huda, she's such a talent and I love that she's so supportive of all artists. I love how flattering the shades are on all the skin tones and colors and that they can be used together to intensity the glow of desired. Thanks for sharing girlie and I hope you're having a wonderful week so far!

Yes, definitely! I love her too for all the same reasons. She is so beautiful and humble and she really knows her stuff. Thank you Jalisa, hope you're having a fab week too xxx
DeleteI don't use highlighters (I barely wear makeup, just BB cream) but I do admit these are such lovely shades. I like how they've showcased them on different skin colours to help people decide what ones to buy. Fingers crossed that the palette is in your budget and you are able to get the one you want when they are released.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!
Away From The Blue Blog
I hope so! I don't wear highlight or much makeup either but if I was going to it would probably be this. I didn't like Champagne Pop or the Ultimate Glow Kit. I tend to like subtle highlights so I look forward to seeing how this looks on the skin xxx
DeleteI have far more highlighters than I will ever need but these are really tempting!
ReplyDeleteBeauty From Katie
Haha yes, I am the worst enabler, thank you for reading Katie xxx
DeleteI don't really use highlighters at all, most of the time I stick with my natural sheen, but the swatches look impressive.

DeleteOhh my gosh the swatches (on the various arms) are SO gorgeous. I love that these shades were created with 'flattering' in mind, rather than glossy/glittery outcomes. Perfect!

DeleteI'm not a huge fan of highlighter, but I'm leaning towards the second palette, being of a medium-skin complexion. The shades are lovely and the names are so exotic. Even better, the shades also look to be really pigmented! My sister would probably LOVE this.

It would make a gorgeous gift too! Thank you for reading, I am drawn to the Golden palette as well xxx
DeleteThey look really pretty but I think that the market is now overly saturated with highlighters to the point that it is hard to see something innovating or different, I don't get too excited about other highlighters anymore :( I think I have come to the point where I think you can actually have too many highlighters, haha.
ReplyDeleteCy | Dulce de Mango
It had to happen sometime haha, honestly I kind of despise most highlighters so I own a total of about 2 currently. This is, if the claims are met, exactly what I have been searching for so I hope it knocks the rest out of the park. Thank you for reading Cy, I have missed you! Xx
DeleteOh my soul! I saw Farah Dhukai swatch these palettes on Snapchat last week. I was so taken aback at how gorgeous it is! She blended all the shades to create the 3D look on her hand and it was stunning! I have been using my LA Girl blush palette which has a highlight shade in it for the past few years because the highlighters in SA are ridiculously priced. I know customs will be an arm and a leg if I oreder this beauty but I am currently saving for it and I will buy it! Which highlighter are you using to pass the time?
ReplyDeletex Rivania | The Glam Unicorn
This is a really helpful and detailed review. I love Huda and I'm desperate to get the eye-shadow palette but it's a bit pricey for me atm. Thought recently I did Spring make-up lesson , so I try to experiment with new products to improve my skill. I've also seen these and thought they looked gorgeous but worried they might be a bit too much. Seeing your swatches though, they obviously have great pigmentation but aren't over the top. Definitely might consider getting this now, when I have a bit more!
