My Absolute Favorite Highlighter: Jouer Powder Highlighter in Citrine (Review & Swatch)

Jouer is one of those brands that seemed to pop onto the radar out of nowhere. I first heard of the brand about a year or so ago when there was a frenzy over their cream highlight in Tiare. It was only within the last couple of months, however, that the brand really intrigued me enough to go out on a limb and purchase something. Long story short...that jump was so well worth it.

Q&A's

♥What are the Jouer Powder Highlighters?♥

The Powder Highlighters are the first powder illuminators in Jouer's range, making a great accompaniment to their pre-existing cream highlighters. Currently, the line contains three different shades -- Rose Quartz (champagne pink), Topaz (rose gold), and Citrine (gold) -- however, it has already been confirmed that Jouer has every intention of extending this line. In fact, in late November, expect to see the release of their shade Ice, which will be a holographic pearl highlight for paler skin tones. If you are lucky enough to snag one of these highlighters, they are available on Jouer's website for $24 PLUS receive 15% off if you use one of their affiliate codes.

♥What are the claims made on this product?♥

Here are the claims made, which were found directly on Jouer's website: "Ultra-fine pearls and luminescent pigments create the ultimate, "lit-from-within" glow. This creamy, powder formula is long-wearing, highly pigmented, and layers with our best-selling cream Highlighter for the perfect radiant finish."

♥How does the product apply/wear?♥

A little of this product truly goes a LONGGG way with this highlight and that's coming from someone who loves an intense glow. Because of that, I recommend using a smaller fan brush to apply it so that you can have more control and build it up to your liking. I also would like to note that this is the ONLY highlight I have owned and tried that is this smooth, does not emphasize ANY texture, and gives the skin a wet, dewy glow. Other than that, I feel that it lasts a really long time on the face and doesn't travel all over the place the way chunkier highlights can.

♥What are my overall thoughts on this product?♥

I've been using the Jouer Powder Highlighter in Citrine every day for over two weeks straight, which, considering my massive highlight collection, really speaks to how obsessed I am with it. From the sleek gold magnetic packaging to the slick wet sheen it gives to the skin, I am already making a decent dent in this bad boy. That is not to say you'll go through this highlight quickly, I've just been dousing myself in it every chance that I get. Also, because Citrine has a gold sheen, it will be the most universally flattering across a variety of skintones compared to the others in the line. All in all, as my first purchase from Jouer, it has impressed me so much so that I cannot wait to find more high quality items from this brand.
