The €5 Catrice highlighter palette that does way more than flatter your face

The Catrice highlighter palette was designed to brighten up and give your face that radiant glow, but it actually does way more.

I went on holidays last week and spent days leading up to it fretting about what to bring in my carry-on suitcase. When you're bringing five pairs of shoes with you, space is very limited. Then, I discovered the Catrice highlighter palette by chance at work, and it completely solved my packing dilemma.

The little palette (the Deluxe Glow Highlighter The Glowrious Three) reduced my makeup down to one plastic lunch bag. It comes in three shades "to suit all skin tones" but I used all three all over my face.

Because I am so pale, I use the darkest shade (on the right) as bronzer. The middle shade is perfect for "traditional" highlighting, around my eyes and down the centre of my nose. The left shade gives a little blush.

That's not all. The left and right shades are amazing on the eyes. I sweep the pinkish hue over the whole eye and apply the darkest shade to the crease. I top it off with the middle colour under my brow as highlighter, for good measure.

So, in one little kit that costs a mere €4.95, you get three lovely shades that act not only as highlighters but can be used for contouring and as eyeshadow as well.

In case you are wondering, the other makeup products in my airport lunch bag were: La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Unifiant, Rimmel powder, a Wet 'n' Wild brow kit and mascara. How's that for packing light?
