Illamasqua Gleam Highlighter- Aurora

Illamasquas Gleam in the shade Aurora* is a product that I've been intrigued about for a while now and after trying it recently, have become obsessed with it, making it go-to product for most days.

Illamasquas Gleam in Aurora is a Champagne toned highlighter with an iridescent finish that comes in the most beautiful, easy to apply cream formula.

Up until now, I've preferred powder highlighters over cream ones, but Aurora has well and truly changed my opinion and I love applying this, particularly teamed up with Illamasquas Justify or Sculpting Powder Duo for contour.

I personally like to use my fingers to apply it as opposed to a brush, as I feel I have most control that way and find it most effective applied on top of my cheekbones, along my brow bones and down my nose, for a super pretty glow that creates so much light.

It blends really easily and can be applied as softly or as dramatically as you like which is fabulous and I hear it works just as brilliantly underneath foundation, which I must admit I'm yet to try.

Holding incredibly beautiful light reflecting pigments, Aurora is quite honestly a highlighting dream and available at Illasmasqua stores and counters in Selfridges, costing £18 for 6.5g of product, if you're into highlighting, it's a must have in my opinion. 

I'd love to know your thoughts on Aurora, do you prefer cream or powder highlighters?
