Yves Rocher is a rather popular budget French company, known to the Russian consumer for its unforgettable aromas. Why do we love Yves Rocher? First of all, for the magnificent variety of shower gels that are incredibly pleasant and unobtrusive smell. The perfumes of this company are also of high quality, many of which are kept on the body even after a shower. Decorative cosmetics of this brand is not so popular, however, Yves Rocher is actively promoting this area of its activity. As a result, this fall a novelty entered the market: face powder-highlighter. On the package it is indicated that this is a universal highlighter for any skin tone. It consists of two complementary shades that allow you to simulate facial features. The package contains only 10 g of product.
Product Appearance
This is a very beautiful double highlighter, one shade of which looks more like a bronzer, and the second is a classic highlighter. The product smells pretty nice, but meanwhile you can’t say that fans of the beauty industry were delighted with this new product. The reason for this is the rather large sparkles in the highlighter. The product itself has a beautiful classic shade of champagne, just perfect for fall. As for large sequins, this is more a matter of taste than a specific claim to the quality of the product, which everyone noted as high.
Powder Reviews
The new highlighter “Yves Rocher” was not offended by reviews, and almost every beauty blogger considered it his duty to express their opinion on the product. Some were a little disappointed with the packaging, as it looks pretty decent on the site, and live a little cheaper. The packaging is made of fairly simple plastic of not very high quality, the lid is transparent, and the bottom is made in gold with a signature engraving and the Yves Rocher logo. I also did not like the fact that the lid does not open completely and not quite smoothly.
Shades and use
The content also pleased a much larger number of fair sex. The authors of the reviews about Yves Rocher Highlighter Powder highly praise the quality of the product itself and declare that they will use it with pleasure. Most girls came up with a light shade of powder, which contains a noticeable golden shimmer. The second, darker shade also contains gold sequins, however it is more suitable for well-tanned skin. Unfortunately, it will be inconvenient to use this shade as a bronzer or sculptor, because of these very spangles. To apply them all over the face would be, to put it mildly, strange and contrary to all the classical canons of makeup.
Faberlik has the same powder, it also has a golden glow, but it doesn’t suit all skin types: if you have light skin with a pink tint and an unbanned face, Faberlic powder will look too yellow.
Highlighter Test Drive
Compact powder "Yves Rocher" is very finely ground, it is well typed on both the finger and the brush. It looks rather delicate on the face, however, you need to type a small amount of product, otherwise you can easily go too far and make makeup “visible from space”, as bloggers like to say. The light highlighter brightens the skin a little, glows with pearlescent, while the dark highlighter, on the contrary, gives the effect of tanning and gives it strongly to gold. Holds on his face for about 5 hours, which is quite acceptable for a highlighter.
The cost of this new product varies around 950 rubles. Given where the powder is made, the price is more than justified. Perhaps that is why manufacturers decided to save on packaging, paying more attention to the quality of the product itself.
Yves Rocher Company Philosophy
The Yves Rocher company is positioning itself as a manufacturer of natural cosmetics, striving to preserve the natural resources of the planet. And indeed, throughout its activities, the company did not allow to doubt the veracity of its position. Yves Rocher products are packaged in plastic tubes that must be recycled and reused. When choosing bonuses on the brand’s website, you can order a new tree planting, as well as buying some products, the brand undertakes to plant a tree. Naturally, cosmetics are not tested on animals, and also does not contain silicones and parabens. That is why the reviews about Yves Rocher powder-highlighter simply cannot be negative, because the company carefully takes care of its image and the needs of the client.
Using highlighter in makeup
The word itself comes from the English "highlight", which means "highlight". Highlighters, shimmers and luminaires should be distinguished, which differ in the degree of luminescence and the size of the sparkles. In general, all of the above funds are designed to highlight certain areas on the face and do not have a pronounced color. The reviews say the following about the Yves Rocher highlighter powder: this product is somewhere between the highlighter and the shimmer, as it contains pronounced sparkles.
Thanks to the small reflective particles in the composition, a high-quality highlighter can emphasize the dignity of the face and hide imperfections, such as fine wrinkles, enlarged pores and slight pigmentation. It is due to these particles that the product visually brightens the skin. There are several types of highlighters: liquid, cream, powder and meteorites (balls). CoverFX and Lumene are famous for excellent liquid highlighters, sticks can be purchased from Maybelline and Essence, meteorites are available from Guerlain, and each cosmetic brand has powders, the price of which varies from 300 to 3000 rubles.
Highlighter should be applied to all outstanding points of the face - this is the nose, cheekbones, upper lip and the area under the eyebrow. Someone also likes to apply the product over the eyebrows, but this does not look good at all. If this is a warm season, makeup with a powder highlighter can completely pamper your shoulders and collarbones, thereby creating the effect of sleek skin.
