Pat McGrath Beauty

This picture doesn’t do it justice. I have it and on my skin tone, it’s not as subtle as what’s shown in this picture. Sometimes I find her pics tend to wash colors out.

Sparkly & Pretty

I have waaaaaay too many! So, I won't be purchasing either, but following this convo Here is a swatch of the CT. Very subtle.

I have insane amount of highlighters for sure. Sometimes I do not like her swatches and find them way off

 

[Monsy]

I thinks it’s absolutely beautiful. Not as subtle as the highlight in the Film Star Bronze and Glow but not as glowly as some ‘I can see you from space‘ highlights. The formula is beautiful on.

My only hesitation in saying you need it is the size of it! Does anyone really need a highlighter that big? I say wait and pick it up at Sephora during one of their sales.

it mysteriously disappeared from sephora. an it's LE

Christine's arrived broken. The theory is it was a defective batch. That they will rerelease once it is corrected.

It looks really beautiful in the pictures I've seen, but I have a ton of highlighters so it's going to have to look really lovely on my skin tone for me to buy it.

Agreed! I have enough highlighters, the only way i'd purchase is if it looked great on my skintone.

oh makes sense

 

[Monsy]

although their stuff often arrives broken (espec their PR)
i just think some of their products are really fragile

I hadn't heard about there being any batch issues and assumed Christine's was broke in transit. It's still available on the CT site. I know it was only available for one day on Sephora for Rouge and VIB members and would be available again once the rest of the holiday collection released at Sephora. I expect to see it there soon as the rest of holiday is now available on the CT site.

I theoretically have it, because I bought it, but they haven't even shipped it yet ... last month shipping from them is a horror.

Today came. It is beautiful Wonderful. Perfect. I fell in love at first sight

 

[Monsy]

I wonder if it will be available at sephora

Swatches on hands.
It is lighter on the cheeks, a beautiful pink champagne with a metallic sheen.
It gives the pane effect. It is suitable for fair complexions.

Reviews of the highlighter are starting to pop up on YouTube. For a highlighter that's named Champagne Gold, it looks more pink (with lavender/silver undertones) to my eye. Tara Baby (I think that's her name) is fair and she said it was too dark for her unless she mixes it w/something. I also saw it on someone with medium skin - she seemed to really like the color but in the video, I could definitely see the line of highlighter. Both reviewers said the formula was very nice.

I just bought the CT and ND highlighters so this wasn't on my radar but I don't think it would have worked for me anyway.

I am very fair (MAC NC5 / NC10), and yet this highlighter is not too dark. It looks really fair on my skin.

Before, I was also thinking whether to buy the Charlotte or Natasha highlighter, but I chose Pat and I do not regret it a bit, I will say more - that it is one of my best highlighters.
