Review: Etude House Aloha V-Line Slim Maker

Aloha beautiful readers!

Today I shall be reviewing a bronzer-highlighter tandem.

Bronzers and highlighters have been some of my favorite makeup products... I actually love them more than blushes! Why? Because I have a large, square-shaped face. Applying these products would make my face look slimmer and less angular.

I've tried quite a number of these bronzer-highlighter duo products such as from MAC and Dollface. This time I will be using and reviewing Etude House's Aloha V-Line Slim Maker.

Etude House Aloha V-Line Slim Maker 01

 This is actually bought by my sister, Trace, more than a month ago.

Here's the product. It actually comes in another shade.

The product's shades I got are Wood Brown and Sun Gold.

The packaging and the design of the product itself is really cute! Fits very well with the incoming summer season, don't you agree?

 The product is worth around Php650.00

 Information, directions and precautionary advice:

 It also comes with a brush applicator.

It's kind of soft but I still prefer using one of my brushes than this one.

Here's a swatch on my wrist:

The Wood Brown is a matte, caramel-chocolate brown. Very warm and looks natural on my skin. It doesn't have the brick tone that I see in most bronzers.

Sun Gold is more pigmented. It is shimmery and is also warm on the skin. It really does make you glow when applied correctly. But I prefer matte highlighters since I have oily skin. I don't like "extra" shine on my face after some time. :P
The product has a sweet scent. It's not annoying at all. I really like how it smells. :)

Here's a demonstration printed at the box of the product:

 I guess their ideal face shape is a V-shape.

 Here's a more detailed instruction on how to apply the product on the face.

I apply the bronzer below the cheekbones and the jaw line. I also put some of this at the sides of my nose to make it slimmer as well. :P

I apply the highlighter on the nose bridge, above the cheekbones, forehead and a little on the chin.

Here are shots of my sis' cheek when she used the product.

3rd - when highlighter was added

The product is long-lasting. I was in school the whole day and I still see the contours on my face. It stayed longer than the blush I used that day! Yay!

Overall, I really like the product. It has a natural finish. Great to have especially since summer is coming soon! And I'm a fan of the cuteness of the packaging!! :D

Cheers,
