Bored with putting layers of makeup and wearing that heavy made-up look? Looking for something fresh and light? Girls it's time to simplify and soften up your look with this versatile highlighting palette in Rose Glow 02 from Revlon.

My Experience with Revlon Highlighting Palette Rose Glow 02

The palette comes in complimentary shimmer bands in 3 different shades; Peach Glow, Rose Glow and Bronze Glow that can be used for multiple purposes. The shades blend easily and work great as highlighter, blusher, and eye-shadow all rolled into a single palette.

In classic fairytale romance fashion, hubby got the shade Rose Glow 02 for me that comprises of a couple of cool toned rosy pinks and corals along with three shimmer strips. The packaging looks awesome with a see-through lid and colors peeping through the lid along with glitter bars.

However, you need to be very careful with handling as the packaging although attractive is quite fragile and can break in no time in case it falls off from your hands. Also, the product claims to be of buildable color, the pigmentation of the pink-hued strips is very light and subtle.

So in case, you are looking for dramatic rouge, the palette isn't for you. But it is indeed great for daily wear or for times when you just want to lighten up or freshen up your look. And since I am a sucker for light makeup, this highlighting palette has proved to be a total winner for me.

I love the way the soft tint looks on my cheeks. Swirled together one swipe of these rosy shimmered bands look so delicate and natural on the skin that I literally feel like a glowing princess from some fairness cream commercial!

The overall effect remains so subtle and natural as if I am actually blooming from inside and not wearing anything on face! The best part is the shades can be easily worn on the face without any base or primer. Also, the shimmer shades are easy to pick and work great both as highlighter and eye-shadow.

In this pic, I am wearing nothing on my face except for my daily moisturizer and Revlon highlighting palette in Rose Glow 02. Can you see the subtle glow and pinkiness on my cheeks? Credit goes to this highlighting palette from Revlon! Fresh-faced look in no time!!

Overall Take:

Overall, I love the way the Revlon highlighting palette in Rose Glow looks on my face and works fine as a multi-tasking makeup palette. It is awesome for times when you are in a hurry and want to look fresh in no time. It is also great for beginners and girls who like light makeup.

Although, price is slightly on the higher side compared to other equally performing palettes in the market, considering the versatility of this product, the price seem to be reasonable.
