I have something of a weakness for Bobbi Brown products, they are always so beautifully packaged that I feel extra fancy when I am using them (I know that sounds silly but it's true). Ever since I started using my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders I wanted to try out similar products. So when I was checking out the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks and I stumbled upon the Brightening Powders. They have been around for a while now but I never heard much about them. Like I said, I have been on the whole brightening setting powder kick and that is exactly what this product is.
It's an all over illuminating powder that gives your skin a healthy looking glow. For me this works best as setting powder for my concealer that I have used as highlighting areas of my face. It does have very fine glitter/shimmer in it and since I have larger pores I don't love to just dust this all over the face. It's really hard to see the glitter on your skin once it is buffed in though, if pores are not a problem for you then I would say go for it! The formulation is super soft and light. It won't leave you with cake face no matter how much you put on.
I also am obsessing over the mirrored packaging it's stunning! I think that was probably what drew me in at first. What can I say shiny sparkly things grab my attention! I picked mine up in the shade nude but the line has a few options so pick the one that works best for you. The nude shade is best for fair to medium skin. If you are darker than medium check out the Bronze Glow.
Retail for this is $52 if you are interested in the porcelain version NYX has a pretty good dupe for $8.
