Ok, I caved and bought the Radiance Palette from Makeup Revolution! I was really trying very hard not to buy any new palettes but two things, firstly I appeared to be having an allergic reaction to my much adored Blushing Hearts highlight which I think I have just had for too long now so had to throw it anyway! And secondly, I have really been missing my Hourglass Ambient Light powder so I wanted something that would draw light into my face but something where I can add highlight to specific areas! The Radiance Palette was only £8 for 3 shades of highlight so it wasn't much of a risk!
As you can see each of the 3 shades are quite different. In the pan 1 and 2 look actually very similar but on my finger tips you can see my middle finger and the one to the right hand side are quite different colours and then you have that gorgeous golden bronze shade on my index finger. I literally gave each finger tip a tiny rub and this is how much product I got, you can see that they are quite pigmented. What I like about these highlighters are that they are NOT glittery like most, they're so soft and finely milled that make them incredibly easy to blend.
The first shade on the left hand side in the Radiance Palette I would say is a pretty good dupe for the Ambient Light in Dim Light but at a mere fraction of the cost. I use this shade like I did with Dim Light and use it lightly all over my face, it gives SUCH a natural highlight because it really draws the light into you face on the more natural contours. The centre shade I will definitely be using on my cheek bones just to give them a bit more oomph! I think the only shade I'm really gonna struggle with is the golden one, I am pale as hell and there is no way I can use this one to contour with as it is just too much like a highlighter. I will be taking the palette on holiday with me when I go away in May so maybe it will be good for a sun kiss summery look.
I am in love with this little palette and find myself using it all the damn time!! Have you tried the Radiance Palette?
Oh I actually love Makeup Revolution! I have a couple of their eyeshadow palettes and get on really well with them - they have less fall out than my UD palettes sometimes!! I've got a single highlighter powder from MUR which I absolutely love, but my friend recently bought a stick highlighter from there and it's actually amazing!! I love the sound of this palette though, especially the super golden shade! Perrrrrfect for summer :) xx

Yeah I cannot wait to give that golden shade a go when I'm on holiday!!!xx
DeleteI've got one of Makeup Revolution's individual highlights and the pigmentation in it is SO good, I love it! I haven't seen this palette before, but I think I'll have to pop into SUperdrug and pick one up soon. £8 for 3 highlights is such a steal
