Too Faced Candlelight Glow Highlighting Powder Duo Review, Swatches and Video
Today I’ve got a review for you of one of my favorite products: Too Faced Candlelight Glow Highlighting Powder Duo. It’s my favorite highlighter!
The Website Claims:
Inspired by our original Candlelight powder, our newest formula offers a more ethereal glow by using PHOTOLITE technology which diffuses harsh light, giving your skin a diffused, youthful luminosity. The powder formula is easy to apply to cheeks, brow bones, and décolleté for a quick all-over glow.
- Professionally Lit: PHOTOLITE technology filters and fractures harsh light to fight the effect of cold lighting which gives skins a washed out or chalky tone.
- Duo Highlighting Shades: The sheer golden powder warms skin tone, while the gilded-rose formula brightens and illuminates.
- Multi-use: Can be used separately for either brightening or warming, or swirled together to warm AND brighten for instant radiance!

Does it live up to its claims?
Yes! It’s a fantabulous highlighter! It gives a gorgeous glow to the skin without a disco ball effect. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes a disco ball can be fun, but this is perfect to give me a glow everyday. I’ve also used it all over my face to give it a pearly luminescence, too.
I just run my ecotools duofiber brush across the entire pan of product, mixing both colors and apply in a C shape to highlight across my cheekbones. You can use each color individually with no issue though, because the pan is about the size of a foundation.
Would I purchase again?
Yes! I’ve been using this for a solid three months and barely made a dent in it. It’s a ton of product for the price, but I will definitely repurchase when I run out. I love the fine glow it gives my skin. I think it’s a perfect highlighter!

Rating:
Product purchased by me. All opinions are my own.
I’ve been wanting this. The highlighters I have are TheBalm Mary Lou-manizer and Jemma Kidd all over radiance cream in iced gold. I love them both, but I’d love to try more! I really love highlighters!
I just picked this up based on your recommendation 🙂 I’m kind of a highlighter noob, so hopefully I can figure this out.
Oooh, I want!
This looks like a big winner. I love highlighters, but I don’t like dry, cakey, or glittery ones. This looks really fine and glossy.
I want it from the first time I saw it…
Too Faced products are always amazing. There are very few I don’t love. Right now, I love my Becca Shimmering liquid for highlighter. (I forget what it’s called, exactly.)
Oooh. I was seriously tempted by the original Candlelight powder, but I hadn’t seen any reviews. This looks even better! I am a face color junkie and this totally needs to go in my collection! And I need to get a full sized Pink Leopard since mine is finally almost out (it was a mini in one of the Bronzed and the Beautiful palettes and it’s lasted me at least a year with near daily use!)
I’m a highlighter junkie! This looks awesome so I’ll have to check it out. My favorite powder highlight is NARS albatross and my favorite non-powder is Benefit Watt’s Up. -Olive
