[unpaid/sample] I seem to think the last time I wrote about this brand, Iconic London, I wasn’t all that impressed but it looks like things have greatly improved because the Silk Glow Duo is a lovely product.
Personally, I don’t particularly want a lot of highlight pigment in my products – I like to have something not so glowy and then add on the right amount of glow myself, but this duo seems to have an ideal amount that you can adapt by adding less or more as you please.
The pink blush shade is a coral/pink hybrid with tiny golden particles – quite honestly, it’s gorgeous as an eye shadow and that would be my preferred way to wear it, but the champagne shade highlighter can be used in so many ways. Add a dot to clear lip gloss to give it a golden glow (just pop some in the palm of you hand, rub your finger over the highlight and then blend together), use as an eye brightener on the lids or mix with a creme blush in the same style as the gloss mix. Or, of course, you can just use it as it is.
The formula is a kind of gel/powder mix so it’s very blendable – it’s not the dry, droppy dust of many highlighters. There’s a pink toned option too. You can find the duo at Cloud10 HERE for £30.
