Urban Decay Afterglow Highlighter | Sin

Hey guys!!

Today I just wanted to quickly talk about the Urban Decay Highlighter in the shade sin. So to start with the packaging is sleek and very pretty to look at. It sort of has a mirror front as well (like the sleek highlighting palette) so that is a nice touch, only trouble with that is it does get a bit fingerprinty.. But it looks fanccyyyy..







So to be honest the thing that first attracted me to this highlighter and the shade was because the shade name was in the original Naked palette and that was one of my favourite inner corner/brow bone highlighter. Now I will say the highlighter is definitely not the same shade as the eyeshadow, in the Naked palette Sin is more of a pinkish colour whereas the highlighter pulls more yellowy gold. 

On the skin I found this highlighter to have a really nice finish - nothing too intense but definitely enough to give you a gorgeous glow. I do always prefer to make my highlighters a little more intense so I will use something like MAC's Fix + to just give it an extra something.. But this highlighter is gorgeous alone, it didn't leave my skin with the weird texture that some highlighters do nor did it make pores appear out of nowhere. 

Below I will include some other popular highlighters for comparison.
