Blush, bronzer as well as highlighter for the cost of lunch!
As a font style enthusiast/typography aficionado, I would like to point out that the “K” in Kerry Washington’s signature on the front of her new Neutrogena cheek combination merits my stamp of approval. I spent an inordinate amount of time — weeks, possibly even years — perfecting the “K” in my signature, as well as IMHO, this is a great “K!”

That’s a great K!
You most likely understand Kerry Washington from her function in Scandal, however did you likewise understand that she was in one of my preferred films from the ’90s, save the Last Dance? as well as that she’s an ambassador for Neutrogena? as well as that her LE collection likewise has an eye palette? as well as a body wash?

I’ve viewed this film at least 50 times.

The cheek combination caught my eye since it looks a bit like BECCA’s legendary Chrissy combination (minus a highlighter), as well as in one method it’s similar — the pigmented peachy coral blush. It’s not almost as shimmery as the BECCA blush, however the color’s practically a dead-on dupe.

Kerry’s blush is the most pigmented thing in the palette, by the way. It’s much much more pigmented than both the bronzer as well as highlighter, so you’ll want to take it simple the very first time you dab it on your wonderful cherub cheeks.

I wear Honey 85 in Neutrogena’s Hydro increase Skin Tint, for reference.

I’m a bit bummed about the warm golden bronzer, since it looks so quite in the pan, however it doesn’t quickly show up on my skin. No bronzing for this girl, wah! When I lastly pick up the pieces of my damaged heart (you don’t understand; I’m USELESS — absolute DEAD WEIGHT — without bronzer), I will tell myself, “Self, get it together. Re-purpose it as an eyeshadow.”

For reference, I’m a MAC NC42 as well as wear shade Honey 98 in Neutrogena’s Hydro increase Tint, as well as it takes a great deal of layers to get the bronzer to show up even just a little, so if you’re around my skin tone or darker, the bronzer will most likely do nothing for you. If you’re lighter than I am, however, you ought to be able to quickly carve yourself some razor sharp Kerry cheekbones with it.

I will state that even though I have to stack on the bronzer to see it, the powder doesn’t look heavy or caked-on, as well as that applies to all of the powders in the kit. They look expensive.

I’m using Kerry’s combination on my cheeks as well as Chanel on my lips (Rouge Coco Gloss in 744).
Lastly, the highlighter. very mellow. practically appears like a matte on the skin at very first glance, however there’s a teensy hint of shimmer.

Even though the bronzer doesn’t truly bronze me, thinking about that this whole set is $9.99 as well as I only had to touch up when (after six hours), I still believe it’s a excellent deal. When I wear it, my skin still appears like my skin, which is a extremely Neutrogena makeup thing to do. Their stuff is all about improving your natural features as well as not overwhelming you with color or shimmer or shine or bling, as well as this cheek kit, when you utilize all three products together, delivers a softly defined cheekbone with a flush of peachy coral color on the apples, which I believe is lovely as well as pretty. I state opt for it!
