Stila Heaven’s Hue Highlighter – Bring on the colors

“The best color is the whole world is the one that looks good on you” – Coco Chanel

Color plays a vitally important role in the world in which we live. Color can initiate thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. It can irritate or soothe your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. Likewise, the colors used for a product cause powerful reactions. In the makeup world, the highlighter is the queen in bringing colors to your life after the lipstick. A bright shade of pink or red on your cheeks brings a vibrant look and glamour which every girl wants to get.

It is a natural looking, radiance-enhancing highlighter with a unique texture and a barely-there feel. It is a powder based highlighter but the finish is an intermediate between cream and powder. The shade I have shown here is “Transcendence” which is an an opalescent pink with a bolder, ethereal glow. This can help you build that perfect cheekbones along with a natural looking glow. I literally haven’t been able to find one highlighter that just has a natural and subtle glow like this. Although there is a little bit of sparkle when applied, it blends so naturally. When I apply it on my skin, I don’t have to build it up a million times. The texture is creamy and buttery like silicon.

The YAY

  • It gives a very natural looking glow from within and the sparkles blend good to create a glamorous look.
  • The texture is buttery with a cream to powdery finish. It is not like other powder highlighters which falls off when you apply.
  • This blends so smooth when used with a highlighter brush giving a natural shimmer from the sparkles.
  • It is very high pigmented and a little amount is enough for the whole look. 1-2 strokes are enough and you do not need to layer it a lot.
  • The packaging is sleek and stylish with silver sparkle color which attracts like hell.
  • It is not sticky and does not give an oily or greasy finish and does not clog the pores on my face.
  • It lasts easily for 5-6 hours and does not wear off easily. The shine blends with the look as time goes by.

The MEH

  • This highlighter has a little bit of glitter which might not be liked by everyone.
  • It is available in 3 shades so you do not have much options to choose.
  • It might not blend fully on oily skin type.

The Rihanna look

Let me give you some tips on how to create those perfect cheekbones like Rihanna along with a warm pink shine which will make you love this product.

  • Apply your foundation like you normally do with a brush and blend it all around. Let it sit for little time.
  • For raised cheekbones apply highlighter in a diagonal line from just beneath the center of your eye socket up towards your hairline, and blend.
  • Put some shimmery blush just beneath that on to you cheeks to make it pop out.
  • For an instant brow lift, dab highlighter under the arch of your eyebrows and blend with a brush.
  • Sweep the highlighter down the bridge of your nose with a soft brush to fake the appearance of a slimmer nose.
  • You can also make your lips look poutier by applying it in the bow of your lips.
  • That’s it you are done and with more and more practice you can create the perfect Rihanna look in no time!!

    I love the vibrant colors and the fact that this product is very pigmented. I’ve fallen in love with some colors only to realize that the colors are not pigmented enough.

    • thatneongirl2016@gmail.com April 22, 2017 at 12:44 am

      Stila is a very reputable company so their colors are always very pigmented. Try it out, you would not regret it.
