I didn’t need another highlighter, I really didn’t, but need and want are two different things and as soon as I saw the Estee Lauder Heatwave Highlighter, I wanted one!
Heat Wave has a beautiful embossed pattern like sun rays. It’s a luminous pale gold champagne in the compact. It swatches true to the color in the pan. The first thing that I noticed when I swatched this product is that it is both very pigmented and buttery. This means that you need to use a very light hand and very little product to achieve a golden glowing highlight.
I fell in love with it completely, especially after swatching it – it was like wearing sunshine on my face. I think it makes me look healthier than I actually am (always the goal so, result!) and I am really loving the glow and highlight it adds to my face. I use it on the tops of my cheekbones, on my cupids bow, as an inner eye highlight, a small bit on my nose and on my brow bone. I am delighted that I took the plunge and bought this beautiful product. At $40, it certainly isn’t the cheapest highlighting product but with 9g of product, I don’t know if I will ever hit pan on it!
The only down side is that this was a limited edition highlighter so it’s extremely difficult to find. I found mine by pure luck at Saks Fifth Avenue at Burjuman Center.
Are you tempted to try this? What is your favourite highlighter? I’d love to hear in the comments below!
