Introducing the Tres Lucy Beauty Lucette Glow Highlighter Palette
Now that we've taken care of the giveaway excitement, let's move on to the product I'll be trying today. In my October 2022 BoxyCharm base box, I received the Tres Lucy Beauty Lucette Glow Highlighter Palette. This cruelty-free palette retails for $26 and features four gorgeous pans of highlighter.
Swatching the Highlighter Palette: A Rainbow of Luminosity
Before I delve into testing these highlighters on my face, let's take a moment to appreciate their beauty. The palette boasts an array of shades, each more stunning than the last. As I swatch them on my hand, I'm immediately captivated by their pigmentation and luminosity. The pink shade possesses an enchanting duochrome glow, while the white shade offers a crisp radiance. The gold and bronzy shades, though light and bright, manage to catch my attention with their radiant sheen. I'm already envisioning countless possibilities for these shades, both in terms of individual use and experimentation with mixing them together.
Applying the Highlighter with a Fan Brush: A Quest for the Perfect Glow
Now comes the moment of truth - applying the highlighter to my face. Armed with a trusty fan brush, I dip into the gold shade called Upgrade. Usually, fan brushes tend to deposit a lighter, less pigmented application, but to my surprise, this shade shows up beautifully. The initial sweep across the high point of my cheek brings forth a delightful glow. However, upon closer inspection, the shimmer and sparkle of the highlighter seem to enhance the texture of my skin. While it may look enticing from a distance, up close, it resembles bumpy reptile skin - not the desired effect.
Undeterred, I decide to give the palette another chance, this time using the shade Valor. With the same fan brush, I indulge in the silvery light reflection emanating from this shade. The buildable formula allows me to achieve a bright glow effortlessly. Yet, despite the allure, the pronounced shimmer and sparkle give my skin an unnatural appearance. As someone who prefers a more natural-looking glow, this highlighter fails to meet my expectations.
Enhancing Texture and Bumpy Skin: A Dilemma Faced
One aspect that disappoints me is how the highlighter accentuates the texture and bumps on my skin. Although it imparts a radiant sheen, it draws unwanted attention to areas I'd rather conceal. A product that enhances the very features I want to downplay is not something I seek in my makeup routine. Hence, as much as I appreciate the reflective nature of these highlighter shades, their texture-enhancing properties discourage me from using them further on my face.
Using the Highlighter Palette as Eye Shadows: A Silver Lining
While the highlighter palette may not have met my expectations for facial use, I've found a silver lining - they make fantastic eye shadows! Each shade translates beautifully onto the eyelids, creating stunning looks. The shimmer and sparkle that troubled me on my face find a home on my eyes, adding depth and dimension to my eye makeup. Whether it's a single shade or a combination of multiple colors, I find myself reaching for this palette to elevate my eye looks. The white shade, in particular, proves to be an excellent inner corner highlight, brightening and accentuating the eyes flawlessly.
Conclusion: Highlighting the Good and the Not-So-Good
In conclusion, the Tres Lucy Beauty Lucette Glow Highlighter Palette has its pros and cons. On the positive side, it offers an enticing range of shades with impressive pigmentation. The luminosity it imparts is undeniable, making it ideal for eye makeup and body highlights. However, it falls short when it comes to enhancing skin texture. The shimmer and sparkle, though visually appealing, draw attention to imperfections, leaving me hesitant to use it as a face highlighter.
