Pretty. That was the very first thing I noticed about the Elizabeth Arden Sunkissed Pearls Bronzer and Highlighter.

It helps you to achieve a “sun-kissed, contoured glow” quickly, with illumination and dimension. It is formed of two bronzer shades and a highlighting powder.

The bronzers are matte, which is I love; it makes for a more versatile product that looks very natural. The duo of complimentary bronzers offers colour control to suit different complexions within the light and dark options available.

I am using the darker shade, Deep Pearl, which gives my skin a very subtle, discreet, bronzed glow – an overall flush of colour that is not too orange. I like it.

This also makes a decent contouring powder as it is not too warm.

The highlighter, for me, is more like a glow enhancer; it is not light enough to properly highlight, but applied on the highlighter points, it does give a bronzed glow and radiance.

It is discreetly shimmery, and personally, I think it doubles up as a nice blusher; the shade is actually a pale pinky coral, which makes it a good blusher shade for me.This product contains argan oils and vitamin E, which give this product a skincare boost and contribute to keep skin soft and moisturised. The soft focus microlight mineral complex with pearlised pigments helps blur imperfections.

For me, this is a very good on-the-go makeup bag addition as it covers quite a few bases.

The Elizabeth Arden Sunkissed Pearls Bronzer and Highlighter costs £28 and can be purchased from the Elizabeth Arden website and major retailers nationwide.
