Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow Dupe
For those, like me, who haven't caved and given into spending £49 on the Charlotte Tilbury Film Star Bronze & Glow, then I'm sure you are all looking for an affordable dupe! Well lucky for you and I, Kiko have done just that.
I can't do an exact comparison to Film Star Bronze and Glow as I haven't tried the product myself, just endlessly swatched it. Obviously, Kiko's version doesn't visually appear as luxurious and expensive, but what's inside is a
very
close match.
I've been searching high and low for a contour kit for a while now, and have been toying with trying NARS, Kevin Aucyn and Anastasia, but didn't have the courage to spend that much money. When I came across Kiko's Daring Game collection I found this, and it was in the sale so knew that I had to pick it up. With 2 shades available, Radiant Honey and Precious Sienna. I picked up 01 Radiant Honey which is the lightest shade and perfect for my skin tone. Split into 2 sides, bronzer and highlighter, the bronzer side is itself split into another lighter and darker shade. The matte bronzer works well for just adding warmth to your face in which case I will swirl the two shades together, but for when I am contouring I just pick up the lightest shade which I find is really easy to blend in the hollows of my cheeks. The highlighter on the other small side has the perfect amount of shimmer, not too matte nor too glittery and adds a natural highlight where you want it to.
Originally this palette was £15.90 which is still pretty expensive, although a lot less than £49, however when I got it, it was in the sale for £7.90 which I think is really affordable and good price for the immaculate quality of this product.
