00:00Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02I am very excited today because I get to play with two brand new highlighters from celebrities Rihanna and Kim
00:09Kardashian.
00:10I have Rihanna's new Fenty Beauty highlighters here, the powders.
00:15I also have the stick ones.
00:18And I have Kim Kardashian's new highlighting contour palette, which I'm very excited about.
00:23In the world of beauty, you can never have too many highlighters.
00:27That is my personal opinion, so I'm very excited to see how these fare as I wear them throughout the
00:32day.
00:33But, before I put them on, have you guys subscribed to our channel yet?
00:38If you haven't, please hit subscribe down below so we can hang out every week.
00:41Subscribed? Good. Let's get started.
00:44I actually haven't tried anything from Kim Kardashian's line yet, so this will be a first for me.
00:51The Kim Kardashian palette. This thing has sold out, I think twice so far?
00:57Finally got my hands on it. It is quite sizable.
01:00Has that nice little Kim K nude finish. Open it up.
01:05Woo! Big mirror like that.
01:08And it has two highlighters, a bronzer, and a contour shade.
01:12I have this palette in the shade light, but there's a medium and a dark, I believe.
01:16Then there's this brush, which, not gonna lie, looks a little suggestive, suggestive, suggestive, suggestive.
01:26There's the domed side here, which I assume would be for the highlighter.
01:32And then there's an angle side here that I think would be good for bronzer contour.
01:35I'm gonna use the Kim Kardashian palette, the highlighters, on one side of my face.
01:39And then I'm gonna use some of Rihanna's highlighters on the other side of my face.
01:44And we're gonna see how they wear throughout the day.
01:47The brush is really soft, guys.
01:49Alright, Kim K.
01:51Make me glow!
01:53Alright, putting it on.
01:55Ooh, it's so prinsic.
01:56It's a very soft, subdued highlight.
01:59It can definitely...
01:59Oh, whoa.
02:00It's not soft.
02:02Can you see that?
02:03It definitely did the job, but I would say this is a little bit of a wide highlight for me.
02:08I would prefer, I think, on the day-to-day to use something a little bit smaller, like a fan
02:12brush.
02:13Yeah, I think this gives you a lot more precise application.
02:19I'm...blown away.
02:20It's so nice!
02:21It's so pretty, like, especially in the light when you catch it with that highlighter bobble.
02:26It's like...it's a really beautiful shade.
02:29This is the more pink shade.
02:31And then I'm gonna swatch the paler shade that I'm wearing right now on the other side just so we
02:36can see the difference.
02:37Yeah, it definitely has a little bit more of a yellow undertone.
02:40It's definitely frostier.
02:42I'm really into it.
02:44I'm going to play with the Fenty stuff now.
02:48So, Fenty Beauty came out with a number of different products.
02:53There's foundations, contour sticks, powder highlighters, cream coat highlighters.
02:59I've got two of Fenty Beauty's Kilowatt Freestyle Highlighter Duos.
03:04There's a very intense highlight and then a more subdued one.
03:09I have one in Ginger Binge and Moscow Mule.
03:12And then I have Lightning Dust and Fire Crystal.
03:15Also beautiful.
03:16Definitely more wearable, although this warm one is beautiful, too.
03:22And the sticks.
03:23I have the shades Cinnamon, Confetti, and Unicorn.
03:28You get a good amount of product here.
03:29It's pretty wide, the actual stick.
03:31It doesn't have that, like, slick, creamy feeling that a lot of stick highlighters have.
03:36It actually almost feels like a cream to powder.
03:38It's a very lovely, light texture.
03:42I think that in terms of what's gonna look the best on my complexion and also match-ish to the
03:48one that I'm wearing on the Kim Kardashian side is this one,
03:51the Lightning Dust and Crystal Fire.
03:53It does have a little bit of a similar color tone to the lighter Kim Kardashian highlight that I used
03:58today.
03:59So I'm gonna put that on my right cheek.
04:01I'm gonna go in for the more subdued side just to see what it would look like on my cheek,
04:06and then I'll probably go in with the more metallic side to beef it up.
04:10Like, that one's really picking up product.
04:12We shall see.
04:16Really pretty, honestly.
04:19Confetti shade.
04:23Woo!
04:24I think they look pretty good so far.
04:26We'll have to see how they fare.
04:27It's around 9am now, so I'm gonna wear it for the rest of the workday.
04:31I'm gonna ask a few friends what they think.
04:32Hey guys!
04:33I'm here with my friend Michelle!
04:35Hi!
04:36She's a stylist at Refinery and we're having a little lunch outside in the park.
04:41It's around noon, so I've been wearing the highlighter for like a couple hours now.
04:45What do you think of my face?
04:47I think it looks really good.
04:48Your face is glowing.
04:49I love the eyeshadow and the highlighter.
04:52Thanks!
04:52Can you tell that I'm wearing two different kinds?
04:56No, I can't actually tell.
04:58Which one do you think is Fenty and which one do you think is Kim Kardashian?
05:00Um, I think I'm gonna have to go with...
05:04I think the right side is Fenty because...
05:08Why?
05:09Because I like...
05:11I think it's more like purple.
05:13It's like a little bit more crazy.
05:14Kim Kardashian ones that I feel like are more natural.
05:17This is like more like pigmented.
05:19This is like fun.
05:20This is like work.
05:22Work.
05:23Which one do you think is Rihanna and which one do you think is Kim?
05:27Or Fenty Kim?
05:28So, I think obviously from what I just said, from the contour side, that has to be Kim.
05:34And like I know that Fenty has a beautiful purple highlighter.
05:37So it's definitely that side.
05:38Hi guys!
05:39Here we're saying!
05:40It's me!
05:42Ooh!
05:43It's around 5 o'clock so I've been wearing the highlighter for quite some time now.
05:47It looks wonderful.
05:48Thank you!
05:49It really does.
05:49What do you think?
05:50I think it's beautiful.
05:51How long have you been wearing it now?
05:52Since 9.
05:53It's beautiful.
05:54Like I see no shine.
05:56Okay, I'm gonna say...
05:58That's Fenty.
05:59The Fenty one's a little bit more sparkly.
06:01I think it's better for a day.
06:03I don't know if you can still see it.
06:04I can see them.
06:04They're like shimmering when you move your face.
06:06This one's a little bit more...
06:07Yes.
06:07Subdued.
06:08Alright guys, it's 6.30.
06:09I'm almost done with the day.
06:10General consensus from all of my coworkers is that they look really great and I have
06:15to agree.
06:15I think they look beautiful but they are so different.
06:19I would wear them for different occasions.
06:21I would want both.
06:22I'd wear the Kim Kardashian side when I want a more diffused, subtle look.
06:25Like great for day to day.
06:27Rihanna, I would slap it on if I want my highlight to be the focus of my look or I'm
06:32going out
06:33and I want something shimmery.
06:34I mean look at this glitter.
06:36That being said, it is up to you what you decide or not.
06:39I obviously am addicted to highlighter.
06:42So thank you guys so much for watching and let me know what you think of the two highlighters
06:46in the comments below and I will see you next week.
06:49Bye.
06:50Glow to the gods as they say.
