Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Superstar Glow Highlighter ($55.00 for 0.40 oz.) is a light, pink-peach base with fine, golden pearl throughout that gave it a luminous, glowing finish.

It had good color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer paired with a soft, lightly creamy consistency that was plush and easy to pick up with a brush. There weren’t a whole lot of claims made on the cached version of the product listing I could find–just that it was buildable. The powder applied evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely without emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

It’s a new, limited edition–and oversized–highlighter for the holiday season. It sold through quickly but, oddly, Sephora actually took the whole product page down; mine arrived broken but they weren’t able to ship me a replacement (so I was refunded). I would imagine it will return, but I don’t have any specific information on that–likely later this month when the eye palette launches, perhaps?

It’s a very pretty highlighter and on my wishlist. I’m delighted to see the pink/peach lean in a CT powder highlighter.

Far more refined, in all senses of the word than I expected. Nice.

Hi Christine, do you have a tool for comparing highlighters? I see the one for palettes, but not for blushes/highlighters

Christine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

Right on this page there is “Compare Any Two.”

Ahh ?‍♀️ I am here everyday and somehow always misses it

Christine

No problem!! It is on all review pages at the very least. Can be easier/harder to miss depending on device and how fast you’re scrolling!

Nancy T

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

This is exactly the type of highlighter I would use often. Perfect for everyday use, I believe. It went on the “list”!

Kaitlin

I think this was a rouge early access item for one day only and that it’s going to be launching officially next month! I missed out on the early access but I was told it will be back for the official launch.

Christine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

I’m not sure – all the other items that were early access (that I recall) were available the next day for everyone else to purchase.

Lauren

Lightest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin.

It’s unfortunate the highlighter smashed! Hope you can replace it if you’re so inclined. Weirdly, it actually makes for a pretty awesome photo. Like how some brands use photos of smashed-up products for their marketing.

Tammy

This is a beautiful highlighter. Something else for my wish list.

Bronwyn

Do you find that Charlotte tilbury compacts are typically this fragile or was this just a shipping issue?

Christine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

I don’t keep track of what has/hasn’t broken, to be honest, and my memory is pretty terrible… so I really don’t know? Like it’s not standing out to me, but I could be just remembering wrong.

Mine also came shattered. I still gave it a shot and I really enjoy the more refined formulation, since many of her other highlighters are normally baked. The shade is very nice and buildable !

Glad to hear you’re enjoying yours, Mannie! Sorry to hear it came broken, though.
