More Than Glow: A Catrice Highlighter With Extra Shimmer

Catrice More Than Glow Highlighter: This drugstore highlighter is intense.

After swatching the Catrice More Than Glow Highlighter onto the side of my hand, I described it in one word: stunning. This drugstore highlighter is super shimmery and sparkly. It truly lives up to its name. When using this product, you’ll achieve more than a radiant glow. You’ll get extra shimmering luminosity. This Catrice highlighter is an intense formula that packs a punch.

However, I wanted a more subtle shimmer, and I achieved that as well with this Catrice highlighter. So it’s super versatile, for both intense and subtle looks.

Promises vs. Performance: I achieved a radiant glow with this stunning formula.

Catrice Cosmetics lists the benefits of this powder highlighter on their website. It’s supposed to have an ultra soft, silky texture that gently blends with complexion. It’s a subtle rosy glow with metallic shimmering effects that’s flattering on all skin tones.

I chose Supreme Rose Beam, a light pink rosy shimmer, from their two shades. I applied it to the top of my cheekbones after warming my complexion with Physicians Formula Monoi Butter Bronzer ($16.49) and adding rosiness with ColourPop Fresh N’ Peachy Blush ($8). Since my eye makeup was super intense, I wanted to be more subtle on the cheek shimmer so I applied a minimal amount. To really blend in my cheeks, I also bounced a sponge over top. And the highlighter looked so effortlessly radiant. After the all day wear test, it looked like I had just applied it. So beautiful!

How It Compares: The best highlighter at the drugstore.

I’m surprised that catrice More Than Glow Highlighter is not talked about more often. It is a gem in the drugstore. This product gives a bang for your buck, and I dare to say it might be one of the best drugstore highlighters. It can be built up for that intense look or subdued to look more natural. The few issues that have with it is the limited shade range, and it looks a bit powdery on the skin. It can look like it’s sitting on top of the skin when intensity is built up. See how it stacks up against industry standard and the best performer down below.

Milabu Beauty Method: Applying this Catrice highlighter for an extra radiant glow.

If you’re going for a more subtle look but still want shimmering cheekbones, follow these three steps.

1. Pick up minimal product on a small fluffy brush.
2. Using small strokes, apply to the top of your cheekbones.
3. To subdue the intensity, bounce a makeup sponge over top. This will also help avoid any harsh lines.
