Juvia’s Place: Nubia – The Nubian Highlighter Review

I have never owned or tried a loose powder highlighter until now. I’m so used to pressed powder highlighters but this highlighter from Juvia’s Place is to die for. They are known for their African inspired artsy palette and popping pigments. This silky gold loose powder highlighter will intensify your skin.

3. It can be used wet or dry
4. For a longer lasting effect apply setting spray to highlighter

When using this highlighter a little goes a long way. You can achieve a blinding highlight or dust it lightly to give a soft glow.

Verdict

The Juvia’s Place Nubian Highlighter is highly pigmented; therefore, it can give a soft glow as well as a blinding effect and it will last all day. The product is buildable, so you should be cautious as a little dab alone is enough to cause a blinding effect. Well, it depends on the type of glowing that you are trying to achieve. If you have oily skin you might want to use just a small amount to achieve your glow.
