You probably took a look at the photo below and thought to yourself “Just another regular white highlighter….” right? WRONG.
Ooooh man, is this highlighter a surprise!
This is the NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder – NYX’s attempt at hopping onto the latest trend in highlighting – unconventional shades! Each compact comes with 6 g of powder product, compared to a BECCA powder highlight, that contains 8 g of product.
The Duo Chromatic collection comes in 5 shifting shades: ‘Twilight Tint’, ‘Lavender Steel’, ‘Crushed Bloom’, ‘Snow Rose’, and ‘Synthetica’.
Ooooooohhhh man, ‘Twilight Tint’ is so cool! It looks like your standard pearly white highlighter, but when you wear it, it shifts into an icy silver-y blue! I would definitely put this product into the category of “blinding highlights”. It’s super easy to apply with a highlighting brush, and it packs an amazing punch.

Okay, I’m gonna say it – it’s a total shade dupe for Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in ‘Halo’ (Review HERE and HERE). If you were looking for Cover FX’s ‘Halo’, but are intimidated by liquid products, ‘Twilight Tint’ is going to be your new BFF.
So run, don’t walk to get your hands on the NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder. They’re so rad!
