Finding a high-quality, budget-friendly highlighter that delivers a radiant glow can feel like a beauty holy grail. For one editor, that quest appears to be over thanks to a standout product from the high street.
A Budget-Friendly Glow Discovery
Jada Jones, a beauty and commercialisation editor, has revealed her latest makeup find: the Rimmel Multi Tasker Turbocharged highlighter, available at Superdrug. Priced at £9.99, Superdrug members can snap it up for just £7.99. As someone with sensitive skin who prefers a lighter touch, Jones was impressed by this multi-tasking product, especially after one notable virtual compliment.
"My sister FaceTimed me while I was wearing this and instantly said I was glowing and complimented my highlight," Jones reported. The product comes in nine shades, ranging from soft pinks and rosy blushes to pearly rose golds and bronzes, offering versatility for different skin tones and occasions.
Performance and Application Insights
Jones tested three shades: 002 Rosy Rebel, 005 Iconic as Usual, and 006 It's Giving Glow. She noted that while Rosy Rebel had less shimmer, it still provided a noticeable dewy finish. A key piece of advice from her trial is to use a light hand during application due to the high pigment payoff.
"There's a lot of pigment in this, so it's definitely worth keeping a light hand," she advised. The formula blends out easily when first applied, but once set, it shows impressive staying power. "I did swatch each shade on my hand and once they've dried, they don't budge," Jones confirmed.
She was so thrilled with the result that she compared it favourably to the high-end Fenty Beauty Killawatt Highlighter, which retails for £32. For her final look, she combined a dab of the Rimmel product with a Rodial cream blush for a seamless, radiant finish.
Shopper Reviews and Verdict
With over 800 reviews on Superdrug's website, Jones isn't the only fan. One shopper praised its non-sticky, lightweight feel, calling it a new travel essential. Another highlighted its longevity, noting the shine lasts all day, while a third appreciated its ability to create a fresh, healthy look even on rushed mornings.
Jones concluded that the product is a great addition to any makeup bag, praising its affordability and the generous size of the tube, which suggests it will last a long time. Her main caveat was the potential for over-application, warning that careful blending is needed to avoid an overly shiny effect.
"This is one of the most affordable products in my makeup bag," she stated, positioning it as a perfect pick for adding a touch of sparkle for the festive season or a dewy glow for spring and summer.
