CHARLOTTE TILBURY FILMSTAR BRONZE & GLOW: MEDIUM TO DEEP

If you read my last post you'd know that I recently splurged on one of the most coveted Charlotte Tilbury products, her Filmstar Bronze & Glow contour and highlight duo. I'd always had my eye on this and contemplated purchasing it many times before but being the over analyser that I am, looked up swatches, watched countless youtube videos and read reviews, and found that the original duo was pretty much only worth it to those with a lighter skintone. I mean, the packaging alone almost made me do it but I wasn't about to purchase something this expensive and not get my money's worth, y'know what I'm saying?

In comes a new duo, this time for medium to deep skintones. As soon as I saw that it was released at the same time that I'd been itching to go makeup shopping, I knew it was the gods telling me that I had to have it.

I'm in love with the vintage feel of the packaging, it's so glamorous and classy, and who isn't a sucker for nice packaging?! You definitely get what you pay for with this product.

 I honestly have not stopped using this palette ever since I got it. At first I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use the darker shade for contour because it has quite a bit of a sheen to it when you look at it in the pan and also, it didn't look like it'd be dark enough. As soon as I put it on using my NARS ita brush, I was surprised at how much I loved it. You couldn't see any of the sheen whatsoever, it blended perfectly into the hollows of my cheeks and gave me the definition I needed.  

The highlight shade is a beautiful orange-copper shade that I use more on top of my blush for a bronzey glow. Only because it's quite subtle and everyone knows that I need my highlight seen from space. Although it would be perfect for those days where you don't want to overload on highlighter (not sure I know what that feels like). 

I'd say this is one of those products where you'd be devastated to hit pan on, because you don't want to ruin it's beauty but you just can't get yourself to stop using it. That's how I feel anyway.
