Kryolan Illusion-new shades!

Way back in December I introduced you to my favourite new highlighter- Kryolan Illusion.

At the time this gorgeous cream-golden toned cream was only available in one shade, but I'm exited to tell you, we now have 8 stunning tones to try!

Whilst I was in London last week, I popped into make-up artist heaven Charles Fox and enjoyed a good old play with the latest offers from Kryolan. Some of the new shades may seem a little 'out there' as highlighters go,  including the deep bronze 'Nappa', dark rose 'Velours' and lilac 'Chiffon' but when worn correctly, they look stunning. Try sweeping these shades across eyelids or pat onto lips either alone or over lipstick for a multi-tonal finish.

For a gorgeous shimmery cheek this summer, try buffing peachy shades 'Cashmere' and 'Organza' from apples up towards the top of cheekbones. If we are lucky to have subtle kiss of the summer sun, these shades will instantly rev up our bronzed complexions.

If not, we always have 'Silk', 'Satin' and my original fave 'Velvet', which when buffed onto the tops of cheekbones, cupid's bow, collarbones and even down the centre of our legs, give a gorgeous glamorous glow and enhance our natural bone structure, however milk-bottle our complexion may be.

The real bonus? illusion is now available in either a 5 or 8 palette, perfect for those of us wanting to try a combination of shades, or for us pro's who are constantly looking for new ways to avoid a back-breaking heavy kit!

Available from Charles Fox, in store and online now!

Kryolan Illusion Highlighter

Once again professional brand Kryolan has created a make up kit essential. Illusion Highlighter has launched in the mist of my contouring obession, and is just in time to join my ever expanding contouring kit bag before the zip gives way for good!

llusion is a cream product with a glossy finish, which can be buffed into skin for a delicate glow or precisely applied for a brighter finish. The warm golden tone of shade Velvet,  reminds me of cult favourite MAC Vanilla, which I've even applied over Illuison for a stronger 'catwalk' (or in my case, Night out in Liverpool) look.

The soft pearlescent finish is subtle enough to be worn day-to-day aswell as special occasions without the dreaded OTT frosted shimmer, which we see far too much of! It's perfect for bridal clients, offering beautifully glowing skin, which will last all day long, without looking heavy or oily.

I've personally been buffing Illusion onto the tops of my cheekbones and along my collarbones using my favourite Crown Dual Fibre brushes. For a stronger application. I then use a small synthetic concealer brush to apply to the inner corners of my eye, under the arch of my brow, down the centre of my nose and just above the Cupid's bow. 

Voila! Instantly brighter looking skin and sculpted cheek and collar bones! Illusion is available now, from  Charles Fox.
