Tarteist Pro Glow to Go

Tarte Tarteist Pro Glow to Go Highlight & Contour Palette ($23.00 for 0.24 oz.) includes two highlighters and one contour powder. It’s a compact trio housed in a slim, black cardboard palette that had a velvety feel on the outside (like NARS’ packaging in a way). I think it will work for someone who likes warmer, more intense highlighters and has use for the tone and depth of contour powder. The problem with something like this is that it’s just not going to work for all skin tones and undertones (I always want brands to at least put out a cool and warm version, if not a light/medium/dark).

Gleam

Gleam is a light, golden beige with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. The color coverage was intense–a little went a long way–while the finish was high-shine and very reflective. If you prefer subtle highlighters, then I don’t think this palette will be for you! It had a smooth, dense but not stiff texture that was blendable and easy to apply. Despite having a very high sheen, it did not emphasize pores or my skin’s natural texture. This shade lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

Burst

Burst is a bright, creamy yellow with a golden frosted shimmer. It was richly pigmented with a soft, smooth, almost cream-like texture that had a stronger, almost powdery base. The texture felt like the shimmer wasn’t as mixed in with the underlying powder, so the shimmer tended to pull away from the powder a bit when blended on the skin. It still worked out on the skin, but I am not sure if this shade will work as well on all skin tones due to the base texture and color. The highlighter wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Chisel

Chisel is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a firmer consistency, but it wasn’t too difficult to work with or to get color onto the brush, though it definitely seemed to improve after a few uses (the surface seemed to soften). It was fairly blendable but was best applied in sheerer layers to minimize buffing at the end. This shade lasted for eight hours on me before fading.
