Just in time for summer, Kim Kardashian (i.e. the queen of contour) is here with a new product that is all about the glow. The KUWTK star’s KKW Beauty just launched two pressed powder Highlighter Palettes — I and II — that Kim says are all about the “bling.”
“I’m so excited to expand our range of highlighters with high-shine shades that are full on bling, bringing high glow to another level,” she said in a statement. “These two palettes have become my go-to for everyday and [are] perfect for when I need to be camera ready.”
While Kim already has several radiance boosters in her collection (here’s looking at you Contour & Highlight palettes and sticks), this latest launch takes highlighting to a blinding new dimension. Each palette comes with four ultra-shimmer shades that promise to melt flawlessly into the skin.
Meant for lighter skin tones, Highlighter Palette I includes a white gold (read: creamy pearl), pink champagne, light peach and warm gold shade that would look as pretty shimmering on the high points of the face as they would adding a bit of sparkle to the eyes as shadow. Highlighter Palette II, meanwhile, is made with medium to deep skin in mind and features soft bronze, sunset peach, warm copper and shimmering cherry shades that are a bit richer and more dramatic.
With a super soft and silky texture, Kim recommends applying the luminous hues with a rounded brush to the “cheekbones, cupid’s bow, nose, corners of the eye” and any other area of the face you want to add radiance. Apply in light, circular motions for a natural look or layer them up for a serious glow.
We doubt Kim or her famous clan would ever part with their beloved contour powders and creams, but these versatile quartets are a perfect summer alternative to the classic sculpt!
