So I know my last post was all about highlighters, and I did have another post planned before I did this one but after being so happy and appreciative of managing to get my hands on this product, I saw tonight that Oh Darling is now being sold on for up to three or four times the price online. This kind of thing is so upsetting for the people who desperately wanted this beautiful product for themselves and to give as gifts to loved ones for Christmas, and as someone who is a big makeup collector, I know how disappointing it can be, so this post is for you guys who didn't manage to buy Oh Darling before it sold out.
Don't worry my glowy princesses, I've got your backs.
MAC - Oh Darling!
The top highlight is Oh Darling!
The bottom two are two highlighters I have picked out for you to try if you didnt manage to buy it. The middle highlight is 'Opal' Shimmering Skin Perfector from BECCA Cosmetics. She's a little bit cooler/slightly pinkier than Oh Darling but she's something special. I normally wear Opal on a daily basis and she is beautiful. Just as glittery, just as metallic, just slightly different in colour. This would be perfect on Fair to Medium skin tones.
The bottom highlight is 'So Hollywood' from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Honestly, colour wise she is near enough identical to Oh Darling! Both golden, both beautiful. She just differs slightly in formula. Whilst Oh Darling! is very metallic and feels creamy to the touch, I find that So Hollywood is less metallic and slightly more glittery and feels slightly more powdery. But I would say this this is near enough a perfect dupe. I find that golden highlights work better on Light to Darker skin tones. Opal or something like Moonstone from BECCA Cosmetics would work better for Fair skin types.
Becca 'Opal' (and Moonstone) is available to order here
If Opal is currently unavailable online, you can also purchase it from Space NK stores.
Anastasia Beverly Hills 'So Hollywood' is availble to order here
(She goes out of stock a lot, but a waiting list is available)
