This spring Essence has released a beautiful array of
products with improved formulas and trendy shades!
The new Face Palettes are all about sculpting, fresh seasonal
hues that enhance the complexion and radiant shimmer. Ready Set Pink includes a
sheer bronzer that requires some layering to intensify but once built-up it
provides nice definition and the soft powder is easy to blend. The matte
highlighter is also quite faint but you can pack it on to boost brightening or
use the Luminizer Palette for more sheen. The blush has a light dusting of glitter (but
nothing too sparkly) to awaken dull skin with a rosy tint.
Ready Set Peach has the same bronzer and cream powder with a
coral blush that doubles as highlighter for a luminous orangey-gold frost. In
terms or pigmentation the blush has great vibrancy but the other two powders
could have been more saturated. If you aren’t a fan of extreme contouring or
baking, these mild, natural finishes may work for you and the palettes retail
for just $6.99 each.
The Light Up Your Face Palette has two high-impact
shimmery highlighters and a matte powder. The champagne and golden hues are
suitable for all skin tones and although I don’t really use the sheer beige (far left), you
may enjoy having a subtle option. The pigmentation is buildable so you can
sweep it on lightly or amp it up for vivid radiance. The palettes retail for
just $6.99 so if you are new to highlighters this is a great starting point.
The new Satin Touch Blushes are silky, smooth, fresh and
gorgeous! The color payoff is good with a nice level of saturation
and although these shades appear quite similar on the skin they are mild and
flattering.
On days you don’t feel like wearing bright cheek color these
soft hues boost the complexion without all the drama. The deeper color is
called Satin Love and the lighter shade is Satin Coral. The blush retails for
$3.99 each.
The new Make Me Brow Duo Powder comes in two shades and is
great for travel. The brown is a bit ashy (for a more natural effect) but
the color is deep enough for dark hair and can be blended to fill sparse
areas for a fuller, sculpted look. The pigmentation is good so I have no problem
achieving the coverage I need and when used with my brow pencil or gel it
totally works! The compact retails for $4.49.
Essence is available at Shoppers Drug Mart and Ulta Beauty
in the U.S.
