Skin Fetish - Duo Iluminador

Incroyable.

SUPER HIGHLIGHTER. Le côté highlighter donne un effet hyper lumineux sans effets de matière très très naturel, le côté baume lui, donne un effet glass skin / peau mouillée merveilleux. Rien à redire miss Pat never fail.

Definitely not worth it

To be honest, this is kind of a rip off for the price. Apart from the useless balm part, the highlighter itself not not go on well. It streaks and as someone with oily skin who was expected a cream highlighter to be easier to use, it doesn't blend well sometimes, leaving me with a streaky look. There are definitely other highlighters out there that are much better with a more reasonable price point.

Didn’t impress me much. Preferred the Westman Atelier balm and there are far better highlights for the money! I liked the idea of the 2 in 1 but neither side was enough to make it worth it.

Gives a very natural radiant glow when applied. I go in with the balm and then the highlight. I use my fingers for placement and then go over with a brush to blend it out. Works best to apply with tapping motion so you do not disrupt your foundation and then sweeping motions with brush

Not good

When applied it drags your foundation off. I have tried it over liquid foundation, powder foundation, baked and not baked and everytime ruins my foundation.

This made my foundation disappear once I put it on. I think I’m going to return this product. She does so many things right but this is not it.

STUNNING

If you love a wet look that blends beautifully into your skin this is it i didn’t know i loved that look until i came across this it’s so amazing i can’t live without it!!!

Meh. Not up to normal PMG standards

I’m on the fence about this product. Huge PMG fan; have a ton of her products. Usually I’m quite impressed with the value, but this product simply doesn’t possess their characteristic quality. The product itself isn’t terrible; the balm is creamy without feeling too greasy. It adds a natural dewiness to the skin. It also contains reparative ingredients including HA. As a bonus, it can be used as lip balm in a pinch. The highlight can be applied alone to create a sheen, or atop the balm for added dimension. The quality of the actual twist tube is seriously lacking. It’s extremely light and cheap, and literally every time I remove the cap from either side, the entire stick of product falls out or is already stuck to the cap. This is a hassle to deal with, abating any enjoyment that may otherwise accompany its use, and additionally wastes product, often making a mess. For the price, this just seems totally unacceptable to me, esp because the highlight and balm, while nice, are nothing special. They’re actually quite basic, thus offering no compensatory attributes. There are MANY better, cheaper products avail w/ which to create the same effect. Idk any superior products with this exact format/duo, so if the convenience of this specific pairing is important to you, it may be worth buying. However, if not, then the following are products I’d reco over this that have a highlight similar to at least one of these, almost all of which are less expensive: Wander blush/highlight duo, balm/blush duo, or even their liquid/stick highlight duo, Lancôme blur/highlight stick, TF cream highlight/contour duo, Milk highlight/oil/holo stick, trestique, Becca, and glossier sticks, tower 28, rms & Dominique skin gloss. There are honestly many more, but I feel like I’ve made my point. Ultimately, it’s not a terrible product by any means, and I’m sure I’d be more forgiving if it were cheaper, but it just can’t compete with other products in its price range, or even many cheaper products.

the most effortless highlighter

I love this product. It goes onto the skin so easy and effortless, I can use my hands to blend it in. It looks so natural. I really love the balm, it gives me moisture and a dewy look. The only problem is that the balm doesn't last long. The balm part is done in less than a month and the highlighter would last 3 months or more. Which is amazing for the highlighter not so much the balm. I hope she comes out with just a balm stick. love.

I do like the shade but pretty crappy/poor quality for the pricing; there are better options

Perfect No-Highlighter Highlighter

There is a learning curve with application but once I got it down, WOW. It’s exactly the type of effect I have been looking for - it looks like your skin is glowing naturally from within, not like you applied chunky sparkles to your cheek. At first I applied directly to the cheek but I found it can disturb makeup underneath that way. Then I saw Pat McGrath stipple it onto the cheekbone with a dense synthetic brush and pat it into the skin with her finger. That was the trick! You will have natural looking glass skin that you can kick up with the balm applied on top if you wish. Perfect for everyday.

I love that the glitter in the highlighter is so fine that it just glows rather than looking chunky. It blends extremely well on the sun which is great. The balm looks fantastic as well but doesn’t last very long.
