AD – The Second Skin Highlighter was gifted to me in exchange for a review. However this doesn’t affect any opinions given.
I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels like they have hardly worn any make up this year. During the first lockdown, I tried to make the effort to put a little bit of make up at least once a week. However, since July, I’ve probably worn it twice. Every year I try to create a festive inspired make up look and knew that I still wanted to do that this year. The look I wanted to go for was a glowy, dewy finish and so using a highlighter was going to be key.

Second Skin Highlighters
Jolie Beauty kindly offered to send me two highlighters to try out and review. The two shades I received were Dreaming and Saintly. When I received them I couldn’t believe how pretty yet practical the packaging was. The rose gold compact comes with a mirror inside and an easy to open clasp. There is nothing worse than having a product that you can’t open, I’m sure we have all been there. They are what I consider to be a good weight too – not too light that they feel cheap and not too heavy that you don’t want to take it out with you. Each compact arrives in a pretty white box and is bubble wrapped as well, making sure they are delivered safely to you. The attention to detail is amazing and each highlighter even contains the Jolie Beauty logo which makes it feel like such a luxury product.
My Thoughts
I used the shade Dreaming on my cheek bones and down my nose and used Saintly under my brows and on my cupids bow. The first thing I noticed was how light it felt on my skin. In truth, it didn’t feel like I had any highlighter on at all. They both really complimented my make up, with neither of them being overpowering. Both highlighters helped me to create the glowy, dewy make up look I was hoping for, whilst still looking natural. The don’t clump or look stripey and are perfect for wearing both day and night.
One thing I was really impressed with when applying was that even though they are powder products, there was no fallout from either of these highlighters. The product went from my brush, to exactly where I wanted it to go. Another thing I was highly impressed with is how long lasting the highlighters are. One application was all I needed for the whole day and yet at the end of the day, it was really easy to remove. In the past, something that has staying power is usually hard to remove, but this was not the case at all.
Overall
My overall opinion of the Jolie Beauty Highlighters are that they are great value for money. Priced at £16.99, you only need a small amount of product and it lasts all day. I’d even go as far as to say these highlighters are the best I’ve ever tried. Jolie Beauty also do a bundle of all of the shades of highlighters in the Second Skin Collection, so if you can’t decide, you could purchase them all.
What do you think of these highlighters? Will you be purchasing anything from the Second Skin Collection?

Thank you, its such a lovely highlighter.
I have really missed putting makeup on, I don’t wear much but I have some on today and I feel so glam!!
This looks lovely on you Kelly x x
There is such a great feeling that comes from wearing a bit of make up isn’t there. Thank you so much.
I haven’t been wearing much makeup this year at all. But I still love playing around with products and creating new looks.
Both highlighters look really pretty on you 😍
I would guess because the are really finely milled there isn’t much fallout, which is good 😊 I love a natural looking highlight, will be checking these out.

Wow this highlighter is gorgeous. You look incredible. I love that it is quite subtle and laced with bronze tones – much needed on my pale skin in winter! I need this highlighter in my life!

I must admit that I hardly wear makeup, but these looks amazing! Thanks for sharing xx
I’m a sucker for a good highlight and I’m already loving what I’m reading/seeing! Will have to give it a try sometime. x
Honestly, this looks like a really great highlighter! Wow!
This looks so pretty on your skin tone 💕
Thank you so much
I loved reading about your experience with this highlighter! It looks beautiful on you (you have the festive vibes on!) and I love that it is light on the skin. Make-up where a little goes a long way is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. I agree, it saves so much money too.
The fact that it was so light that you didn’t even feel like you were wearing highlighter is a HUGE plus. Too often I find that makeup feels ‘heavy’ on, which discourages me from wanting to wear it more often than not. I mean, I will for fancy occasions, but for day to day wear, I tend to slack off lol However, products like this might encourage me to rethink that decision lol
I am in complete agreement with you. I had make up that feels heavy on my skin. I try to wear more powders than creams as its so much lighter.
I love a dewy and glowy look! This looks like it’s absolutely perfect for that. You look beaut! xxx
Thank you so much. I love a dewy look too.
I very rarely use highlighter but these are so pretty! They look like they’d last a long time too which is fab xx

Yes they do. I can definitely see me adding it to my daily make up.
I do love a good highlighter but one which doesn’t look too plasticky if that makes sense? Love the glow from this one x
I know exactly what you mean. This leaves a lovely natural glow.
It sounds like a great highlighter x
