NYX DUO CHROMATIC ILLUMINATING POWDER – Review & Swatches


Non-traditional, colour shifting makeup is a big trend this year with many brands coming out with blushes, lip toppers and highlighters in different formulas. When NYX came out with their gorgeous Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powders as a part of their Spring '17 collection, I knew I had to have these babies.

I got three shades from the collection which attracted me the most. Lavender Steel, Twilight Tint and Snow Rose. They're so versatile, you can use them as eye shadows, lipstick toppers and of course as a highlight. They're perfect to create festival looks too! 




L-R: Twilight Tint, Lavender Steel, Snow Rose


SHADES
There are 5 shades, each with a unique colour shift: 

·         Twilight Tint - White Base with Blue Duo Chromatic Pearls. 
·         Snow Rose - White Base with Pink & Lilac Duo Chromatic Pearls.
·         Lavender Steel - Soft Lavender with Pink & Lavender Duo Chromatic Pearls.
·         Crushed Bloom - Dusty Rose with Pink & Light Blue Duo Chromatic Pearls.
·         Synthetica - Pink base with gold duo Chromatic Pearls.

FORMULA
These are made with beautiful silky formula with no chunky glitter, rather they give an illuminating sheen to your skin. Since they're nicely pigmented, the highlight shows up easily on the skin without having to layer it up.

PACKAGING
The packaging is simple, black plastic compact with transparent top and latch closure. Each compact holds .21 oz product. 

VERDICT
For £9 each, I absolutely love them and they can be great dupes for many high-end brands.
