We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities!

Nice! Reckless looks like a total match.
Haven’t had it for long, but Candlelight is totally Holy Grail I-don’t-need-any-other-highlighters status for me right now. Reckless looks like the closest dupe here, but still doesn’t really have the same effect, imo. Worth the splurge to get Candlelight, I’d say.
Great dupes.
Thank goodness, I have 2 (or3?) products on the full, extended dupe list! And I love them both: Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Highlight 01 (perfect highlighter!) and WnW Reserve Your Cabana (perfect finishing powder!). Also have the e.l.f. dupe for Nars Albatross in Gotta Glow.
I was really bummed when I bought Candlelight and it was too dark/dirty for me. Colourpop Smokin’ Whistles is probably the closest dupe i have and I like that one a lot, even though it’s more metallic. I want to try the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance 01, because even though it’s also beige i think it’s a little more golden and a little more subtle, so I could possibly use it as an all over cheek color.
When you vote on the dupe list about the closeness of two products (in this case KA Candlelight and UD Luminous), when the question is asked How similar is Luminous to Candlelight? and it gives you options to add descriptions to your rating, are you then saying that Candlelight is more/less shimmery than UD Luminous, or are you saying that Luminous is more/less shimmery than Candlelight?
Thanks 🙂
How similar is Luminous to Candlelight?
Answer: Luminous is More Shimmery than Candlelight.
Thank you!!
I looked through all of them and none of them seem right. Some have the right color but none seem to match the fine particles, creamy texture, or pigmentation.
Candelight will be mine for sure. It’s at the top my wishlist.
CAndlelight seems like such a great highlighter. One of these days (years) it will be mine!
