Nicka K Duo Highlighter Review Photos Price Swatches

I am not crazy about highlighters and hardly use them. While testing out products from Nicka K I saw this highlighter Duo which was priced decently. The idea of two highlighters in one palette was thrilling and I picked Nicka K Duo Highlighter without thinking twice. Well it turned out to be a disappointment though.

These complexion powders are intensely pigmented, and blend beautifully over skin – for cheeks that pop with an airbrushed finish. Available in universal shades that are versatile enough for any skin tone.

Packaging is simple. Nicka K Duo Highlighter comes in plastic palette with clear lid. Pans are quite big.

Shade – Now by highlighter you expect a product with shimmer or sheen. Unfortunately these two don’t have any sheen or shimmer. There are two matte powders – white & yellow toned. You can use them for setting concealer under the eyes and probably thats what the brand meant. The lighter powder will highlight the area. You can’t use them as conventional highlighters though.Nicka K Duo Highlighter Review Photos Price Swatches

Texture & Formula – Now from a highlighter or setting powder I expect a fine smooth formula. But none of these have that buttery translucent finish. The white one is chalky however yellow one is still better. I am not sure if they can be worked, the finish they give is quite cakey and make the under eye area wrinkly.

Chalky powders with stiff formula isn’t any good even if the price tag is decent. I find the texture of Nicka K Duo Blush better than this. Nicka K Duo Highlighter Review Photos Price Swatches

Nicka K Duo Highlighter comes in only one shade , priced at Rs 450

 

Overall Thoughts

You can totally skip this product. There are better products available in the market that can work better than Nicka K Duo Highlighter. You can always use a lighter setting powder to set under eye concealer and get that highlighted look. The texture & formula is terribly powdery and gives cakey finish.
