You know when you're browsing the aisles in Superdrug, a product catches your eye and you fall in love instantly? That was exactly what happened when I first spotted Barry M's Liquid Chrome highlighters. I absolutely couldn't resist picking one up (among many other things).
This product comes in a few shades but I chose At First Light, mostly because I loved the radiant pink tone and it reminded me a lot of Benefit's High Beam, which is my all-time favourite highlighter!
I am a bit of a sucker for a good highlighter, but I love liquid highlighters because they're just so versatile. I've tried Liquid Chrome a few different ways, and I love how easy it is to create different looks with it! I've used it on its own over the top of my foundation, over my cheekbones, browbone and on my nose, and the glow that it gives is incredible. The formula is very rich and pigmented, so you only need a couple of drops to get your desired effect, the only thing I would say is that I am normally used to just blending it with my fingers, but this didn't blend out so easily that way. A good brush or sponge does the trick, though.
When I fancy something a little more subtle, I often wear Liquid Chrome another way, mixing it in with my usual foundation to create an all-over glow, which I love for when I want my skin to look healthy and dewy without making it obvious that I'm wearing highlighter. The formula gives a little bit of a shimmer which looks very pretty once applied all over!
I have to say Barry M, you guys have outdone yourselves with this one. I am obsessed with this highlighter, to the point where I now use it every day without fail. If anyone is looking for a dupe for High Beam, or just wants a highlighter with a stunning finish, I can wholeheartedly recommend Liquid Chrome!
What are your favourite highlighters?

When in Superdrug I always stop and look at these but never quite pick them up. I'm not a big fan of highlighter unless it's just a little glow within, so this might be the perfect thing for that. Might have to go pick one up

Honestly, I can't recommend it enough. Yeah I can understand that hun, this one is brilliant for mixing with your foundation too just to give it that extra little something xo
DeleteNot that I need another highlighter, but I really want this!

It really does, I'm completely in love with it still! xo
DeleteI've never used a highlighter in my life, but this one always catches my eye in Superdrug, I find myself staring at its pretty colour. I've been against buying it, but might just have to as I've heard lots of people rave about it.
