Hourglass Cosmetics Unveils Unreal Liquid Highlighter with Long-Lasting Radiance
Hourglass Cosmetics has launched the Unreal Liquid Highlighter, a new beauty product designed to deliver a natural, radiant glow for up to 12 hours while providing skincare benefits. Priced at £38, this highlighter aims to enhance skin's luminosity without heaviness, making it a versatile addition to any makeup routine.
Innovative Formula and Application
The highlighter features an advanced liquid-light system that mimics how skin naturally reflects light, using ultra-fine pigments for a weightless finish. It is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Upcycled White Lupin Seed Extract to hydrate and firm the skin simultaneously. For optimal application, Hourglass recommends using the new No.16 Highlighter Brush, available for £48, to blend the product onto areas like the cheeks, brow bone, and nose.
Shade Range and Consumer Feedback
Available in five shades—Evoke, Divine, Mythic, Dream, and Infinite—the highlighter is glitter-free, focusing on subtle radiance. According to beauty enthusiasts, initial feedback is overwhelmingly positive:
- 96% reported the product feels weightless and silky on the skin.
- 93% noted it makes skin look and feel firmer.
- 90% observed a radiant glow after application.
After 8 hours, 93% said the high shine persists, and after 12 hours, 90% confirmed it does not settle into fine lines, maintaining its color and firming effects.
