Rodial Instaglam Compact Deluxe

Highlighting powder

Living in Southern California and having more olive skin I don't wear that much make up. For work I slap a bit on then on the weekends its more beach lifestyle. I haven't actually found a bronzer I really like most I've tried are too orange or too fake tan looking. As an asian its pretty easy for me to look weird if I am the wrong color and I think most brands make their range for Caucasian skin and caucasian skin tones.

Mrs Rodial is different and especially this instaglam compact which when I tried to find the current price (it was about 50 bucks) had been reduced on line to 26 bucks but completely sold out on the rodial website.

Don't despair like most discontinued product (and it might not be discontinued just stock disruption after the pandemic) you can usually find things, make up and beauty products on other beauty sites or secondhand sites.

The reason I love this compact, it's the perfect healthy glow. No other make up required for outdoor healthy lifestyle. I dust a little on the apple of my cheeks and if I am wanting to look extra a little of the sparkly shimmer color on my eyelids.

Rodial Instaglam Compact Deluxe is the instant face pick me up. the name is perfect, truly instaglam.

I chose color 02 which is a warmer peachy shade more suitable for my skin tone 01 is brighter, whiter and more sparkle.

I define and highlight my features with this creamy textured highlighting powder. It's not a cream though. The warmer ice shade adds luminosity to my asian skin tone and is also perfect for creating a strong strobed look should I wear more make up in the evening on a night out. Soft powders and refined pearls are blended together for an easy blend creamy powder with a subtle iridescent finish. I always apply along the tops of my cheekbones, down the ridge of my nose, (makes it look slimmer) and above the cupid's bow on my lip. The highlighting powder can also be applied on eyes and décolletage area to give an extra lift to natural, sunkissed or foundation covered skin.

When I looked online to see if you can still get the Instaglam range of compacts from Mrs Rodial I noticed along with the highlighting compact there is also a contouring cream compact which looks identical packaging box and everything.

I haven't tried the contouring powder but I can see someone making a mistake thinking they'd got the highlighting compact and ending up with something completely different. The Instaglam contouring powder came in two shades, normal and dark and again completely sold out so you gotta search if you want it.
