Anastasia Glow Kit in Sun Dipped
Anastasia Sun Dipped Glow Kit is a new palette which includes four ultra-shimmery highlighters in warm hues. I’d been stalking pictures of it for weeks online before finally giving in and ordering it from Cult Beauty. It costs £39.00 in the UK.
It has four large pans of highlighting powders in a laminated cardboard palette. The palette contains four stunning shades of finely-milled illuminating powder which can be applied dry – or with a dampened brush or make up sponge. The texture is buttery and easy to blend and you can achieve a subtle hint of highlight or dramatic, glowing luminosity.
The highlighters double up as really pretty, eye-enhancing shadows, apply all over lids or on the inner corners for a pretty, wide-eyed look
The Shades
The Sun Dipped Glow Kit has four different shades of highlighters with bronze undertones for that healthy summer glow.
- Bronzed – a deep copper penny bronze
- Summer – a sandy golden peach with white gold tones
- Tourmaline – a cool toned bronze rose gold
- Moonstone – a pearlescent peach
I will say that on pale skin, Bronzed is less of a highlighter, and more of a shimmery bronzer or eye shadow colour. Perhaps something to bear in mind if you are also pale and don’t want another shimmery bronzer shade.
The Swatches
Of course, as beautiful as the colors may be in the palette, the real test is how they look on skin. With that in mind, I swatched all four of the shades on my arm and labelled them for ease.
The Packaging
As with the other Glow Kits the pans are removable. Perfect for makeup artists who need to put them in a larger palette for travel. The cardboard doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy and it would be a perfect holiday palette due to its lightness.
Final Thoughts
The Anastasia Glow Kit in Sun Dipped is well designed and the pans are large. The shades are beautiful and very pigmented. To compare this with Becca Champagne Pop, these are a more wearable version. You’ll still shine bright although perhaps you won’t attract passing satellites.
