NYX Daytime Halo Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter Review, Photos, Swatches
Daytime Halo
NYX Daytime Halo Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter ($6.99 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a pop of gold with warm, yellow undertones and a fine, pearly sheen. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to the skin. The texture was thin, watery but not difficult to apply or blend out. The yellowness of the color seemed to get lost on me when I tried it, but it may be more prominent on cooler and/or lighter complexions. The highlighter stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me.
The Away We Glow formula is a liquid highlighter that has buildable coverage “from soft to intense.” The brand recommends to “dab and blend” on skin for “irresistible illumination.” There are nine shades available, and the shimmer varied from shade to shade: fine pearl to chunkier sparkle. The formula has a watery, thin feel from the tube, and I liked getting a bit on the back of my hand and then dabbing with fingertips or a stippling brush onto the cheeks and high planes of the face for highlighting. It did dry down after a minute or so, and the wear ranged from seven to eight hours.

Looks nice blended out !
It did!
Being Lighter than Make Up For Ever #02 and Laura Geller Gilded Honey makes this a much more ideal gold highlight for me.
It’s a lot more controllable in coverage thank either of those!
Very soft, and dare I say; natural looking? I like this one quite a lot! Although I do feel pretty covered with having MAC Whisper Of Gilt, this looks to be a good, softer option.
Whisper of Gilt definitely has you covered!
Do you think the yellow would be too strong for my mega pale skin? I think it’s really pretty on you. I’m neutral toned but unlike most translucent people I lean warm. Not much, I’m a pretty solid neutral but definitely on the warm end. I guess if I buy it and don’t like it it’s not like I broke the bank 🙂
These sheer out a lot, if desired, so I think that they can really work on a lot of skin tones!
I love how yellow it is!!! it would look nice with my warm skin!! 😀
This isn’t too yellow, I might be able to make this work!
