Today I am reviewing and swatching a cream highlighter which is quite famous among the beauty bloggers and professional makeup artists. I bought it around an year ago and love it for the dewy glow that it gives me.
MAC Claims: Versatile and multi-purpose, Cream Colour Base can be applied directly to bare skin, or layered over foundation, moisturiser, or powder. Smooth and easy to apply with a brush, sponge, or fingers – colour effects range from a light veil to highly dramatic, depending on method of application. Cream Colour Base is fragrance-free.
My Review:
I got the Improper copper shade which I use mostly to highlight my cheek bones. It is a very pretty shimmery copper shade; a multipurpose product that can be used on the brow bone and tear duct, or as an eye shadow on its own as well. It has a creamy, soft and light-weight texture which is very easy to apply on the cheeks. You can apply with a brush, sponge or finger although I prefer to apply with my fingers. It is very eye caching and gives your face an instant radiance and subtle dewy effect. It blends effortlessly and looks classy when used on evening/night parties as provides the perfect dewy glow on the top of cheekbone.
Many of the professional makeup artists use this product on their clients. It can be applied on bare skin or over foundation too. It is quite pigmented but need 3 or 4 swipes to build up proper colour. In the morning you can dab a little to give natural look but for a night out parties you can build up more. It can be applied on its own on eyes but creases a lot after 2 or 3 hours. So would recommend using it on cheek bones.
This can be used as a base for many eye shadows to make them more pigmented or can be used over the blushes as well. It stayed fine and longer on my normal skin but for oily skin beauties I would recommend applying some powder underneath to enhance staying power and give a natural look. It contains shimmer but does not look overboard; gives a really nice sheen when light hits it.
Packaging: It comes in a round shape black pan with MAC logo engraved on the top. It has a transparent top where you can easily see the colour if you have many. Colour name and quantity is mentioned on the bottom of the pan. Packaging is very simple but light-weight, sturdy and travel friendly.

Pros:
Cons:
Price: Rs.1500
Overall verdict: It is the best highlighter I have used – gives a subtle glow to the face and brightens up the looks. It may be not suitable to oily skin beauties being cream based but apart from that cannot fault it.
