You don't need to make everything 'pop' for an extraterrestrial to see you from outer space. That 'white streak' approach was all the rave when highlighting products first dropped but the industry has since evolved to create products that are more elegant.

The two strobing shades of white and gold are simply stunning and looks incredible mixed together. Dior's highlighters are always insanely beautiful - they're finely milled and usually rather subtle with small specks of glitter through it, perfect for delicate strobing. However, the all four shades in new Glow Face Palette packs a punch like never before with its highly illuminating pearlescent finish. The glitter has been left at bay for this palette.

I used to go in with a large angled fluffy brush to strobe, but have since found that a dense foundation brush (with the aid of MAC Fix+, you can step it up a notch) is also pretty incredible at making highlighters stick to your face like a smooth second-skin to avoid the exacerbation of visible fine lines around your eye and upper cheekbone area. I absolutely detest that. It's simultaneously aging yet tacky and shows poor makeup abilities. The buffing technique should work to create those reflections whenever you move your face. If you want more impact, you can always go on top of the buffed highlighter with a small fluffy brush to add another layer of ethereal brightness, ensuring that you don't go over-the-top and make it cakey.

The palette is in one universal shade and would work for every skin tone as a go-to strobing quad. The pink is quite a light shade and despite it being dubbed a 'blush,' it's incredibly reflective and not that pigmented as I usually go for, so it works amazing as a pink highlighter. However, if you have fair skin, the pink colour would come through a lot stronger than if you're olive toned or darker.

I love saturated colour on my cheeks, so personally, this blush doesn't have enough pigment to use solely as a blush. I think it would look magical with a layer of matte blush underneath, then a wash of the pink and white shades on top for that gorgeous, healthy, youthful 19-year-old glow. For a golden goddess look, the bronze and gold shades mixed together looks killer on top of the Dior Backstage Contour Palette which I simply adore.
