| “Introducing a new liquid-powder formula with prismatic reflections that sculpts, highlights and models the face. Two products to try: Extra Dimension Skinfinish and Extra Dimension Eye Shadow” M.A.C Cosmetics |
Hey Guys.
Before I flew back to Mallorca, I popped into M.A.C, over in Liverpool, to replenish my kit, only really needing to buy disposable mascara wands…it was when I walked into the store that I saw them twinkling at me.
It really was love at first sight, the NEW Extra Dimension Skinfinish highlighters are purely and simply gorgeous. I picked up Whisper of Gilt and Glorify without even trying them on my hand, (love a cheeky swatch test), I just had to have them!
One of the in-store artists then persuaded me to get the final shade Superb, and I am so glad I bought it, as it is now my favourite of the 3 available shades. Having used the Mineralize Skinfinish powders before I expected them to be the same, but too my surprise… these are SO much better. The pigmentation is so vivid and the texture -super silky! The promise to last 10 hours meant these were a must-have buy for my make up kit. I also picked up 2 of the eye shadows, Lunar and Warm Thunder, (there are 10 different eye shadows available). The eye shadows are meant to last for 6 hours. These are LIMITED EDITION and will sell out very soon so get your hands on these bad boys before its too late. I didn’t realise at the time when I bought them that they are ltd and I am dying to get hold of the other 8 eye shadows now.

| Lunar Eye shadow |
 |
| Warm Thunder Eye Shadow |
 |
| Glorify Skinfinish – coppery gold shimmer |
 |
| Superb Skinfinish – a soft, peachy nude. ( I believe this has sold out online) |
 |
| Whisper of Gilt Skinfinish – a light, soft white gold. |
I decided to put the 6 & 10 hour promises to the test. Say hello to Sam Kellett, one of my most favourite models to work with. Here I used Glorify and Whisper of Gilt as eye shadows with a hint of Warm Thunder. I then used Whisper of Gilt to highlight the cheek bones, along the bridge of the nose and in the cupids bow. (If you would like to know exactly how I created this look and the product list to match please leave a comment below).
Sam’s day of shooting started at 10am and she wore her make-up till late on in the evening, I didn’t have any retouches to do asides from reapplying lip gloss. These highlighters really do last up to 10 hours. The eye shadows did not crease or smudge, overall I was very, very impressed with these products. I am tempted to buy duplicate I loved them that much.
