Despite the backlog of new MAC goodies to blog about, I had to squeeze in this post about an older release that I have been LOVING lately. I figured i’d let you in on this little gem before it’s too late.
So todays post is basically about the perfect highlighter/beauty powder for pale complexions. Dior Starlight.
Starlight is a pink tinged ivory highlighter. It may not look like much in the pan but trust me when I say, I am blown away by how this seriously elevates my makeup.
Packaging
This comes is a traditional Dior blush packaging in signature midnight blue. It doesn’t attract fingerprints and is pretty easy to keep clean.
Overall the compact feels luxurious yet lightweight making it great for carrying along in a makeup bag and comes with a mirror and good quality useable brush for use on the go.
Texture and Formulation
The powder is extremely finely milled and has a gorgeous, elegant shimmer. Just the right amount of sparkle for day to day wear.
What I loved the most though is that it’s not pigmented to the point where you apply and wonder if god could spot your highlight from heaven. Something ideal for those of you who are naturally heavy handed as it’s impossible to over apply.
Once applied, this delivers an angelic sheeny glow that’s absolutely dreamy.
If I had to compare this to another product, I feel it’s along the lines of Burberry Nude Radiance No.01. It has that similar satin finish and colour payoff that highlights the contours of your face without looking overly shimmery
On to some comparison swatches,
As you can see, Starlight is clearly more pink toned next to the Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight and can also be used as you would a MAC beauty powder for an all over brightening effect. (If you are all about that Korean glow!)
Bottom Line
If you have a pale complexion and are constantly on the lookout for a highlighter that isn’t too yellow toned, this is your ideal choice. I like it mostly because the radiance is very subtle and great for daily use. It’s a nice highlight that won’t be competing with the other products I wear.

Starlight comes in a standard Dior blush packaging. 7g 0.24 oz retailing at SGD 70.
